  • A Personal 2016 in Review

    Let’s not talk about 2016 in the general sense. I think most agree that 2016 was a disaster of a year in terms of politics and celebrity deaths (and lets not forget the horrors of Syria and refugees that are not close to being resolved). I’m going to talk about my own 2016. Specifically the…

  • Little Things I Miss About Britain…

    I love living in Spain, I love the culture, the lifestyle, and that I feel like it’s made me a warmer person (ish…) But I also am very stereotypically British, and no matter how amazing our adopted country is, there are always some little things that can make you homesick… I wrote a similar post about a…

  • You’re not a Jane Austen character, you can be happy single

    I like to think that I’m not overly cynical about relationships, they’re worth it when they’re good. It warms my heart seeing my friends in love and happy. But when some people like to hop from one to another, to me that seems to take away the meaningfulness of each relationship. Those people seem to be…

  • Chick Flicks Worth Watching

    I saw the new Ghostbusters film the other day. It’s attracted a fair bit of attention, not just because it’s a beloved franchise reboot, but also because (omigod) the main cast are all women. Which has led to some people saying it ruins the beloved franchise. Yeah yeah, women playing traditionally male roles should never…

  • You’ve Just Graduated – Now What?

    About a year ago I donned the graduation gown and cap, and did what every graduate fears: walking across the stage to graduate without falling over in front of your friends, family and professors. Then to step out into the wide, wide world and take on adult, working life. It was terrifying, mainly because I…

  • The Real World: Not for Uni Students Apparently

    Since the Brexit referendum there have been many debates and topics fueling fall outs in British households and across social media. It’s gotten touchy and sensitive, and people have been judged harshly on whether they’re ‘remain’ or ‘leave’. One of the topics I have noticed popping up more frequently since this Brexit debacle is the…

  • Oh God, Britain

    You have probably read in the news somewhere that last week the U.K. voted to leave the EU by a slim majority. It’s a big deal, not just affecting us Brits but the rest of the EU member states and even the world. I won’t go into the details of why I think the leave…

  • Mindful Escapisms

    When life can get you down, sometimes it’s a good idea to take the time to switch off from stress and worries. To reconnect with a happy state of mind and feel refreshed. Here are a few things I do when I’ve been sulking for too long and need to take a step back from…

  • Summer Clean

    I know that every year people get all excited for a “spring clean”, but personally spring has never been that for me. Whilst in education it’s always been a time of much stress, exams and deadlines so there was always little time to organise and sort ones life out. Plus these past couple of years…

  • What I’ve learnt so far as a female “adult”

    I don’t know about you but I love reading articles written by women, for other women, on what they’ve learnt by being a woman. Little life lessons we should all take on board to make it through the day/week/month/year. To remind us we’re doing okay, everybody’s doing okay, and that we can achieve/overcome anything. And…
