MDMA could lead to better sleep for PTSD patients. 

Recent clinical trials have revealed that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy could aid better sleep for patients suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD patients often experience disrupted sleep patterns due to frequent trauma related alertness, particularly worsening with treatment-resistant patients. Randomised double blind trials were conducted and patients were administered…

Straw Wars: plastic, silicone, metal or bacteria?

Straw Wars: plastic, silicone, metal or bacteria?

Since the ban of supplying plastic straws came into force, scientists and manufacturers have had to come up with other plastic alternatives such as paper, metal or even silicone. However, these alternatives have their major cons. Paper straws absorb drinks and become soggy whilst silicone straws are difficult to clean, unhygienic and non-biodegradable. To overcome such issues, scientists at the…

The BEST CLASSICS YOU Have TO READ (or re-read) THIS SUMMER

The BEST CLASSICS YOU Have TO READ (or re-read) THIS SUMMER

I have always LOVED reading. I can remember being about 8 years old and hooked on the Potter books before physically moving into the world of Robert Muchamore’s spy academy. Seriously, my childhood was either spent in Hogwarts or being a CHERUB – you could not get me out. As I moved into my teen years, of course I was into young fiction. Looking back, I think that’s where I got most of my ideas…

DAY TRIPS AFTER LOCKDOWN

DAY TRIPS AFTER LOCKDOWN

When the lockdown restrictions were lifted, my family and I were at great difficulty when picking a place to visit for a day trip. You see, for the last 12 weeks we had been reminiscing our old trips and optimistically researching and planning new ones for the near future. We had so many places on our list. Some of these places had actually been on the list for a few years now but in all honesty,…

reminiscing düsseldorf

The current travel restrictions put in place due to the pandemic means that most of us have been stuck at home and can only flick through holiday albums and fantasise about about the trips we were due to take this year.

For me, it’s Düsseldorf. The prominent German city which sits east of the Rhine river and hosts an array of luxury brands and museums. I’ve visited Düsseldorf multiple times…

PAINTING TIPS FOR DUMMIES...

PAINTING TIPS FOR DUMMIES…

…from a dummy.

I have zero artistic talent. None, whatsoever. Back at school, my friends would spend hours during art lessons, focusing all their attention on the centre piece. They would squint to focus on the image every time they looked up and they drew with intricate wrist movements, using a variety of tools to imitate the look of the object in the centre of the room. I, on the other hand,…

Get the f*** away from me

I, like millions of others, am going to be trapped in my own home for possibly the next few months. I know I’ll be fine – you see, I am the master of self distancing and my bedroom has always been my isolation station. Perhaps this entrapment will make me start hanging out with my family downstairs – Oh wait… no, it hasn’t.

We all should have seen the virus coming. It was written in every…
