Your Self Care Routine Might Be Missing this One Thing

HOBBIES.

Everyone seems to have one except you and every time you get down to updating your resume, there’s a very obvious space at the bottom where hobbies and interests should be.

Really, you probably haven’t had a hobby since you were about ten (and horse riding just isn’t something you’re into nowadays) so how can you go about finding some after work activities that you’re going to enjoy and…

Wait, you have a love-hate relationship with them too? Welcome to the club! We have cake, and tea.

I know I tend to reminisce around memories of ‘back when’ quite a bit, but let me just have this one for a moment. It’s grad season, after all.

Graduating from university (it’s been two years ago this month, for me!) can a surreal yet scary time of my life, when things were up…

The Perfect Holiday Gifts to Get the Girls When You’re on a Budget

I’m convinced the year 2018 just came around to play all sorts of tricks on us. Can you believe we’re on the tail-end of the year already?? It feels like it was just yesterday that the world was reeling over a certain American President who will not be named, and then gushing over a star-studded royal wedding to rival many.

We’re weeks away from the holiday season, and we’ve got to be careful to…

Calling All Aspiring Girl Bosses, Your Wellness Routine at University Might Be Missing This

So, the last time we met up, we chatted about wellness and why it’s an absolute must during your uni days and years.

But alas, wellness is something like vegetables isn’t it? At five years old, mum and dad said they were good for us but oh, if only they could make it a bit more digestable, more tasty by five year old standards at least. We know why wellness is crucial but man oh man, fitting it…

4 Reasons Why Wellness is An Absolute Must at University

Good ole October.

The month of apple picking and crunchy leaves falling for some, deyas and lights for a few, pumkpin carving prep for several and the start of holiday jollies for many.

Personally, you can find me alternating between any two of those. October also puts me in a reminiscent mood though; I think of my university student life. Hey, it was just under two years ago that I graced the…

The Best of Blogs That Help Women Through Pesky Mental Health Days

On my latest podcast episode I introduced you to two little critters that like to taunt me on the (sometimes) daily. If you’re reading this, then you’re one of those gals who, like me, spends a lot of her time online and on social media.

Maybe you’ve got a blog of your own, or maybe you have a love-love pinning relationship with your fifty boards on Pinterest(hello dream wedding ideas, kitchen…

Behind the Biz: Chronicles of a First Time Female Entrepreneur

Growing up, I had a love-hate relationship with my ‘only child’ status. One of the things I learnt and looking back, loved about being ‘on my own’ though, was that forced ingenuity.

There’s something about being the only child that kinda pushes you into creating your own fun moments, and being your own entertainment. We can credit that ‘self-starter’ gene in me that encouraged me to start ‘clubs’…

Going, Going, Gone for Good? My Social Anxiety Story | Part 2

Before I go on to Part 2, just thought I’d say: this is where the trauma actually began. I in no way am sharing this story to say “Woe is me” or to throw a pity party. The reason I started the blog in the first place is to help other people through things. Because I myself have been ‘through’, and came out on the other side, with a few hard-learned lessons in the bag. My main aim is to pass them…

Happy…Lucky…Go! My Social Anxiety Story | Part 1

(I’m guilty of throwing around a Pinterest quote or two about the dangers of looking back to the past, ‘not looking back because you’re not going there’, yadda yadda. Allow me this one moment though, I promise there’s a point to it.)

Happy-go-lucky girl

During my primary school years, my mother recently said, I was the happiest she’d ever seen me. We were driving past my former primary school,…

From Fear to Freedom: First Steps for Twenty-Somethings Tackling Debt

There are the everyday things that sometimes put us on edge, or tank our self-confidence and self-esteem in a major way. Relationship breakups, friendship fall-outs aside though, one thing that we hardly ever discuss is the anxieties and fears about the F-word.

Finances.

Student loans and financial obligations; find me at least one twenty-something who doesn’t have one of those? Yes, we’re going…

Deal With it, Darlin'! Overwhelm, Burnout and What We Can Do About It

I’ve been abnormally absent on the blog lately, I’ll admit. Missed me? I’m back and I’d like to quickly ask a couple questions, if I may:

Who do I need to petition to make 4-day weekends a reality?

Can days be 27 hours long instead of a measly 24?

Can those extra three hours be strictly work-free?

I think the exhausted new mums, the close-to-pulling-their-hair-out college students and the 9 to…

Could A Hiking Adventure Unlock Improved Mental Health? (Psst...Yes!)

Could A Hiking Adventure Unlock Improved Mental Health? (Psst…Yes!)

Mental Health Awareness Week may have come to an end but overall awareness shouldn’t. We know what happens when voices go silent, conversations grow cold and commitments go unfulfilled. As someone faced with bouts of depression, social anxiety and still facing PTSD, it’s almost like meeting a person who then listens to you share your experience and all you get is that look of pity, the age-old…

The Truth About Why You Need Quality Sleep

There’s a saying that “A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.” A simple quote, but so accurate in its simplicity; and points directly to the importance of getting a good night’s rest.

Do you have that one friend whose moodiness goes through the roof when she hasn’t slept very well? That classmate at uni whose patience is literally non-existent in the morning, thanks to…

Rest Easy (Yes, Really!) 3 Ways Any Girl Can Sleep Better & Stress Less

Do you know one of those girls who takes pride in always being ‘busy’? If you look around (and not too far, just read a couple Instagram bios), it would seem like we’re in the age of everybody trying to be every thing, or at least multiple things at once. Maybe it’s out of economic necessity Or maybe, like me, you have multiple passions in your life. Or perhaps it’s a combination of both. Maybe…
