What a difference a year makes…
They say a lot can happen in a year and, well, I reckon they are pretty bang on! For anyone who follows me on Instagram, or here on the blog, will know that this time last year, I was about to enter the hardest six months I’d had in a very long time. We wereContinue reading “What a difference a year makes…”
Eat the frog – a principle to beat procrastination
When one of the directors I work with revealed his quote to live by was “Eat the frog” – I had no idea it would lead to a whole new way of working. It wasn’t until a month later, when one of my closest friends (that’s you Rochelle!) revealed she had started a book calledContinue reading “Eat the frog – a principle to beat procrastination”
The holy grail of happiness…
Are you happy? It’s a question we all get asked from time to time. It’s become a concept, rather than a feeling, and it is banded around in memes, inspirational quotes, adverts and tv shows. It’s a state of emotion that we are all constantly striving for. But, in this modern, complicated era, do weContinue reading “The holy grail of happiness…”
#postyourpill – are we at risk of glamourising anti-depressants?
Pretty much everything has a fine line, and when it comes to the topic of mental health, the line is about as fine as it can get. One of my very first blogs was about my experience with depression and how this led to me being prescribed anti-depressants. I’ve been open about my ongoing journeyContinue reading “#postyourpill – are we at risk of glamourising anti-depressants?”
Chapter 35 – Another trip around the sun

Tips for a new stepmom
Stepfamilies are the fastest-growing family type in the UK, with an estimated one in three of all families being part of one. I grew up with a stepdad, and I’ve been a stepmom for the last seven years. While it’s a really beautiful role to take on, it can also be damn hard, so I’veContinue reading “Tips for a new stepmom”
Being Stepmom – the good, the bad and the ugly
In the last two years since I launched my blog, I’ve probably sat down to write this piece a dozen times, but for whatever reason it hasn’t flowed. But now, it feels like the right time to put my stepmom journey down on paper – it all it’s colourful glory. Did you know it canContinue reading “Being Stepmom – the good, the bad and the ugly”
Don’t pinch my pooch!
As a huge dog lover and fur mama, I was horrified to read the news last week, when Lady Gaga’s beloved pooches were stolen whilst in the care of her dog walker. With this hitting the headlines due to the celebrity status (and ginormous reward for their return), it was the flurry of real-life supplementaryContinue reading “Don’t pinch my pooch!”
What self care looks like to me and what it could look like for you…
Neck deep in bubbles, channelling Julia Roberts in THAT iconic scene from Pretty Woman – a perfect moment of self care? Well, absolutely, but that’s not ALL self care has to look like.It’s not always prettiness, candles and pamper evenings. It can sometimes be a little more raw. I’ve come to realise that sometimes, selfContinue reading “What self care looks like to me and what it could look like for you…”
