Uncharacteristically for me, the last few posts have come through thick and fast. My main motivation for this was wanting to publish this specific piece but I felt the groundwork really needed to be laid out. By now, you’re up to date on the other happenings of this year, I’ve tried to reset the canvas…

You are what you attract, right? Isn’t that how the saying goes? In a conversation with my sister about three years ago, when she was dealing with a douche of a dude, she asked me “why do I keep attracting these guys?”, to which I immediately responded, “the problem isn’t that you keep attracting these…

This year is determined to pass by in a fleeting whirl of work meetings, work deadlines, actual work and more exercise classes than my wallet really should be facilitating. I’ve been a busy, busy bee, which means for the most part, I haven’t actually put much effort into dating but that’s not to say that…

We can spend so many moments of our lives wishing for certain things to happen. I don’t like what ifs and am much more inclined to take my chances should an opportunity arise. And if it doesn’t, I’ll create it! When I went to Chicago in 2015, it was an absolute leap of faith. I…

And if I was being truly honest with myself, I’d admit that I’m more likely now in my late 30s. Over the last…

During my time as a vegan, I learned a recipe to make great plant-based pancakes, which I still eat today. They taste really good and not too dissimilar to the normal egg and milk version. The cooking process is exactly the same though. You heat the oil, put a ladle full of batter into the…

It’s my birthday week! I have mixed feelings about birthdays. I’m all for celebrating other people’s but when it comes to my own, I always think it’d be great to just hide away and let it pass. All in all, it’s been a great week marking the occasion. And while I didn’t have that special…
