Feminism is one of those words isn’t it? When you bring it up in conversation if either makes people do a collective sigh, or it piques people’s interests. I have found in recent years that people are more understanding, or you get people that go “yeah me too” which is …
I’ve really tried to bite my tongue with all the stories surrounding Meghan Markle and her family, but more specifically her father. However, it’s left me with so many mixed emotions and frustrations that I finally felt I needed to put it down somewhere. I’m not going to include any …
I’ve found as I’ve gotten older that I’ve got more and more into skincare and looking after my skin. I’m very lucky that my skin is pretty unproblematic, and the only real issue I get is a few spots when I’m on my period. So I like to try and …
