Are we cutting our ‘Independent Woman’ noses off to spite our faces?

Ladies, I’m going to ask you the same question that I asked my friends yesterday and I want you to think about it. Do you ‘pick and choose’ when to be girlie and when to be an independent woman? We live in a world where women are told on a daily basis that they should…

Still Struggling with your Eyebrows?

Rewind five years and I bet you barely gave your eyebrows a second though.  The odd pluck here and there but that was it. 2015 saw the rise of the humble eyebrow and since then it has taken over every girls make up routine.  It is firmly THE beauty trend of the last few years…

There Is No Judgement Here…

These days, it is very much the norm to look at another human being and dissect them right down to the smallest detail.  We are encouraged by the media and the internet to form an opinion on someones eyebrows, dress size, choice of car, whether they breast feed their baby and where, what colour/make of…

Because there’s more to Cambridge than Punting!

This weekend saw me and my blogger best pal Absolutely Lucy jumping on a train, opening some prosecco and heading off in the sunshine for a day in Cambridge.  Lucky for us, our little town is very well connected to it’s surrounding cities, so we had just enough time to catch up and fill each…

People don’t suck after all

I cannot lie; I am a self confessed people hater. I  hate crowds, strangers that talk to me or even worse that feel it is appropriate to make physical contact with me. After 15 years in the service industry, I have become human intolerant (which by the way, is an actual thing unlike gluten. Go…

Why are the British always MOANING about the weather?

We Brits love nothing more than a good old chin wag about what is or isn’t happening with the weather around us and it does seem that we have developed a bit of a reputation as a country that will moan when it rains and moan when it doesn’t. The thing is, when it comes…

Define ‘Friend’?

Originally posted on FrickingVikki:
Friendship, it seems is a very funny thing.  Viewed very differently be different people, it is amazing that any of us actually have any at all! I’m a very ‘hands off’ friend, mostly as my spare time is very, very tight with my two jobs and other commitments, but also because…

Jill of all trades; what do you do with no passion?

I have spent a lot of my weekend watching’Chefs Table’ on Netflix; if you haven’t seen it, then please, stop reading this blog now and go watch it. It is a documentary and each episode focuses on a different chef that is challenging the way that food is chosen and cooked as well as taking…

Dear Kim K, Put it Away

My job requires me to be on the internet for at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Take a moment to imagine how much of that time is spent scrolling past Kim Kardashian and her band of sisters and you may start to understand why I am getting slightly annoyed by her.…

Girl Politics; Are we friends or foes?

I am a girl, so you would think that being friends with another girl would be easy for me. We are in many ways, the same.   We like many of the same things, have a mutual understanding of what it is like to be a girl and we get how being a girl can sometimes…
