I’ll be honest, these last couple of weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit of writers’ block. I’m not sure whether it’s been the stress of lockdown being lifted or a lack of motivation or whatever, but I’ve been struggling to come up with fresh content ideas. So, I’ve been delving into old notebooks where I … Continue reading Jewellery Box Stories
The 17th of July is National Tattoo Day, so to celebrate I thought I’d put together a little post on my tattoos and the stories behind them. I’ve written about my experience getting my first tattoo as part of my 30 Before 30 series (which btw, I’m SMASHING...jks I’ve done sweet FA this year), but … Continue reading Tattoo Tales
I can’t actually believe we’re over halfway through the year now. It’s been an interesting one. I for one am looking forward to how utterly shitfaced I’m going to get on new year’s eve this year, as I’m sure the rest of the UK - and indeed, the world - will. Out of all the … Continue reading June 2020 Wrap Up
I think it’s safe to say Covid-19 has immensely fucked up a vast majority of our summer. Sorry for dropping an F-bomb so early, but it’s true. As depressing as it sounds, we’ve all had to kiss goodbye to the idea of going on holiday and attending various summer events this year, and it’s utter … Continue reading Summer Throwbacks
Today, I’m kicking off a new series of blog posts entitled “The Therapy Diaries.” Pretty much what it says on the tin. I recently read a book called My Shit Therapist and Other Mental Health Stories by Michelle Thomas, which is an incredibly honest and relatable account of living with mental illness. I’ll be posting … Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
The 4th of May was my 28th birthday. As I write this I’m feeling that post-birthday comedown and feeling quite sad that it’s over for another year. Spending my birthday in quarantine wasn’t particularly the celebration I expected, but overall, I had the best day. In spite of everything, it was one of the best … Continue reading 28 | Quarantine Edition
Well. I don't think anyone with a birthday from March onwards expected to be celebrating in lockdown. Call me naive, but I had my cold little gin soaked heart set on this lockdown at least being eased in time for my birthday on the 4th May. But, it wasn’t to be. Don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading 28 Lessons
I’ll be honest with you - coming up with ideas for content is hard. So hard in fact, that I spend more of my time searching for content ideas than I do actually writing it. One of the suggestions that keeps coming up in the ideas I’ve found is to write a ‘Day in Your … Continue reading A Day in the Life
If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that since May last year, I’ve been waiting for a colonoscopy due to some ongoing stomach issues. While I’m totally grateful that we have such an amazing organisation like the NHS, waiting times for stuff like this are bullshit. I was referred in May, I saw a … Continue reading They Put a Camera Up My Butt: A Painfully Honest Account of What Happens When You Have a Colonoscopy
I always remember World Book Day being one of my favourite events when I was at school. It appears to now be a much bigger event at schools here in the UK, with kids dressing up as their favourite characters and schools holding huge events and such, but back when I was a kid, I … Continue reading My Five Favourite Children’s Books | World Book Day 2020
