Bright Life! Bright Life!
Recently, women have been at the forefront of the media; from International Women’s Day to Meghan Markle’s conversation with Oprah to the disappearance of Sarah Everard in London. Naturally, when something is highlighted in the media, it becomes the topic of conversation and, of course, people have different opinions. One of the opinions, relating specifically [...]
Contrary to popular belief, there’s a lot more to loving and taking care of yourself than putting on a face mask and soaking in the bath. While we all love a good bath, this cliche is not only really narrowing, but it’s also quite dangerous! It feminises the act of self-care as well as reducing [...]
In our current, never-ending, mission to increase productivity and be successful whilst also being emotionally self-aware, it’s easy to forget a very important factor that all of these goals rely on- being physically healthy. We talk a fair bit on this blog about how mental health isn’t recognised as much, or in as much detail, [...]
Going out for a run is one of the few liberties that some fortunate people in the UK have available right now. This liberty can be hard to see as a liberty, however, when it’s absolutely freezing, pitch-black dark and raining. Another perk of the UK, on top of our lovely lockdown situation, is that [...]
2020 has been a difficult one; quite sh*** if we're being honest. It was stressful and isolating for many people. That said there were some ups and downs outside of COVID-19, even if they were in some way influenced by it and now that were nuzzling into 2021 I want to look back! LIST 52/52: [...]
Hello hello! It's been a little while since I wrote, how've you been? Work, life and studying for my masters got quite demanding over the past few weeks so I decided to take a step back from the blog. It was a difficult decision to be honest as one of my biggest flaws is demanding [...]

I got around this by instead asking [...]
Yes, yes, yes! Has Christmas come early? Nope. I just get the chance to write about books this week! I'm so, so excited for this. I love reading, I love the space that a good book carves out in your mind. There's a cosy infinity with books that I think is rare. Usually, when you [...]
This week's list is fitting to the Christmas trend of WANTING things. Wish lists are synonymous with the season where we jot down a seemingly never-ending list of all those material things that we want to get. I took this list and ran a little further with it, looking a bit deeper at the question, [...]
This is such an important list. It's one that I've made a few times before, which I hope to make more of in the future. It's so easy to forget how much we have in life to be grateful for and how to truly appreciate those things. Writing this list is one way to correct [...]
