As many of you know, at least those of you who are from the UK, we have all been given a date of when lockdown rules will be lifted (if all goes well): 21st June. The 'official' timeline is: March: "From 8 March, care home residents are allowed a single regular visitor [...]" (Yahoo News,Continue reading "Is the Lockdown Lift all a Lie?"
Never getting attached and yet feeling a sense of attachment to strangers and locations…
The feeling of attachment to a total stranger. Where you know it is strange, when it has no meaning at all and yet...it still means something. For me, these baristas also really reminded me of my cousins (not in a weird way) but how they would make jokes, comments here and there and I thinkContinue reading "Never getting attached and yet feeling a sense of attachment to strangers and locations…"
Is Social Media just an excuse for us *not* to be social?
Social media for me has always been a way of keeping up to date with those around me but also letting people in on what I've been up to. Not going to lie, I have gotten tired of it in recent years especially with the whole come up of insta-models, followers and getting noticed etc.Continue reading "Is Social Media just an excuse for us *not* to be social?"
I’m Lonely, I’m Unemployed but Who Cares? I have a Degree! *note sarcasm*

The common thread here is the ‘Loneliness of Grad Life’ and how being a Graduate comes with a boatload of worries, stigmas and negative thoughts.Continue reading "I’m Lonely, I’m Unemployed but Who Cares?

According to Google (my bestie), P.C.O.S. otherwise known as Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects a woman's hormone levels. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones (testosterone). In other words, you have mood swings, more hair and...I feel I should maybe list the symptoms to give everyone an idea of how it reallyContinue reading "P.C.O.S. takes the P.I.S.S."
The Quarantine Mindset
My last official day of lockdown was 28th July and somehow I couldn't really comprehend my thoughts and feelings on going back to work.

The Quarantine Life: Nosey Neighbours
I made this myself...can you tell? You're bored, we're bored, EVERYONE is bored = that is a fact. Now more than ever, we are staying in our homes, staying outside in the gardens and generally finding stuff to do around the house.

The Quarantine Life: Is answering messages a must?
I swear No matter where you look, whether it be online, via e-mail or even on TV adverts, the advice is to keep in contact, message your loved ones, keep in touch and check in on those closest to you etc. In the beginning, I completely agreed with this, as combating loneliness is one ofContinue reading "The Quarantine Life: Is answering messages a must?"
Are we to blame for Caroline Flack’s death?
