Anxiety, Anxiety and More Anxiety.

The hunt for employment is a dog eat dog world and prior to now, I thought that the shade and two-facedness was only between colleagues. What I’ve discovered since graduating is that the worst culprits of all of that are those in management positions. Whether it is a status related trait or just the type of person that fits those positions,...

BLOGMAS 4 | TREAT YOURSELF

Spoiler alert... I spent a lot of money at Boots this week. After a haul on Cyber Monday, I still felt like I didn't have enough new things in my collection and I had completely forgotten the one thing that I actually needed to repurchase - of course! Off I toddled to Lakeside for a few hours out and £97 (NINETY SEVEN!!!) later, I was...

BLOGMAS 3 | HOLIDAYS AND ANXIETY

Blogmas Day 3... Here we are. I had planned to write something today about the bundles and bundles of wrapping I did yesterday, but instead I decided to word exactly how the festive period makes me feel. It's no secret to anyone in my life that my anxiety strikes at the worst of times and that anything involving social situations give...

BLOGMAS 2 | OUR CHRISTMAS TREE

We're known to go over the top with our Christmas tree decorations - some would even say that we dress our tree like an Easter egg, with which we would agree. It's been this way as long as I can remember, really it has. Growing up, we never had a colour co-ordinated Christmas tree like a lot of people do. We'll put anything on our tree...

BLOGMAS 1 | SWEATER WEATHER TAG

Post 2 of today, well aren't I on a roll? After pressing submit on my last post, I tucked into a takeaway with my family and sat thinking about what posts I could do over December that would set a light under my creativity and everything would come together and I would be a one woman blogging show and every thought and feeling I had...

MEMORY LIKE A SIEVE

It is a well-known fact that I have an awful memory. My friends know me for not replying to messages (my friend Emma likes to say “you’ll wait 3 to 5 business days for a reply” about it) and for promising to make phone calls and not. It’s not that I do it on purpose or that I have a problem, but it is the best way for me to piss someone off. My favourite forgetful thing right now is turning around to walk somewhere and as soon...

THE END OF AN ERA

It’s done. The mountain that is university is over for me. I handed in my dissertation just over a week ago and I won’t submit another piece of uni work until I decide to study my Masters – after a bit of life experience, of course! Forget waiting for my results, I’m planning on avoiding that with a vengeance. No way do I need to be told that I ballsed up my degree in a last minute panic. That’s the worst kind of grade waiting...

ME, MYSELF AND MY RIGHT NOWS -- JULY 2015

That’s it. I’ve dedicated myself to this whole blog thing. I’ve sold my soul to the blogosphere! I panicked about what this post would be about and after scrapping some nonsensical piece on where my head is at now that uni is finished. Monthlys, I decided this morning! (Yes, I’m writing this before my shift starts instead of abiding by my whole ‘write your blog post the night before!!’) I wouldn’t say these are favourites, at...

HELLO MY NAME IS... NICE TO MEET YOU

The last 24 hours of my internet history consists of ‘first posts of popular blogs’, ‘winged eyeliner tutorials’, ‘Goodreads giveaways’, ‘how do I stop being so useless’, ‘saving money skills’, ‘lose weight detox’ and an array of Netflix links. That isn’t my name, but it covers 80% of what would be listed under it in a dictionary. I don’t claim to have appropriate answers for any of my Google searches and any of my lifelong...
