Therapy day today. It was good. Hard. Tearful. Intense. But good. I want to be authentic about my mental health journey here because I am keen to see a world where physical and mental illnesses are treated equally. That means, even when it feels like some

I got the Instagram-famous jumpsuit from M&S. It looked so fab on everyone else that I couldn’t resist. And my thoughts are this... it’s so darn comfy, and easy to wear, and looks kinda cute and stylish. The fabric is a little too manmade-y for my liking,

I’m answering questions on inter-racial relationships over on my Instagram stories. * After sharing some snaps from our trip to Leicester to buy saris I received some messages about my experience of being in an inter-racial couple. After 8 years of being

Take time to stop. Stand still in silence. And listen to yourself. We keep ourselves busy busy busy that we can find that we are swept along with ‘life stuff’. We think we are making choices, but what if we are just reacting to circumstances instead of ac

Being a rebel is a state of mind rather than an action. I’ve been a bit of a rebel my entire life, but not because I was doing things I shouldn’t. Being a rebel isn’t always about breaking the rules, or being naughty. Being a rebel is about challenging, c

Goodbye July, you were a crazy hectic month. I’ve had some great times, but I must admit that I’m kinda looking forward to my quiet August. It’s time to regroup after the highs and lows of July, and I’m hoping for a steady month. August for me is going to

I had a rather adventurous few days away this weekend. It started with a trip down to Bristol to celebrate our first wedding anniversary - we loved our time in this new-to-us city, we walked, enjoyed the searing heat, ate incredible seafood, drank wine, I

Thank you for all of the kind messages this week. It’s been intense. Today I made myself get to the gym to swim for a bit. I was the first one in the pool and fell into an almost meditative state watching the water ripple as I slowly glided along in the s

This week is proving to most challenging. Is there something in the air?! My beloved cat, Bear, somehow got out of a top floor wedding and fell. I legged it downstairs to get to him and he hopped back into the house. I think he had a fright and he was lim

A week ago I was sneaking into hotel bars, posing in front of glorious sunsets, sipping delicious cocktails, and listening to amazing music... I loved my adventure to Ibiza with my love. But less than a day later my Granny had a major stroke and hospitali

Shrouded in myth and legend, Es Vedrà is an uninhabited rock just off the south of Ibiza. We spontaneously drove through steep winding roads in our tiny hire car to make the short trek up to the view point here god sunset. It was glorious. There is someth

There is so much more to Ibiza than you think. It’s not all superclubs and sunsets, there is the beautiful medieval quarter around the cathedral and fortification in the old town of Ibiza. It’s a maze of higgedly-piggedly cobbled streets set into a steep

We have to stop talking about bodies in order to be truly body positive. It’s finally made sense to me and so I’ve shared how I’ve reached this epiphany on my blog today (link in my profile if you’re interested). I am no longer to talk about, or objectify

Sometimes it feels like you’re shouting into a void. The noisy world of social media, everyone’s with a megaphone broadcasting their lives, opinions, content, and more. Does your voice matter? Can it even be heard in that cacophony on tweets and insta-pic
