Thanks to the Quarter Life Crisis, I used to celebrate the weekend with Tequila and Nando's. Now, at 31, I spend Saturdays shopping for vegetables and enjoying (enjoying?!) an early morning swim. Who even am I? Apparently this is what the other side of 29 feels like and, clearly, I'm embracing grown-up-ness for all it… Continue reading Hello from the other side (of 30)

All I want for Christmas is a slow cooker
Thanks to the Quarter Life Crisis, there's nothing like Christmas to remind you that you're definitely not a child anymore. Gone are the days of 'hoping for a tamagotchi' and 'the cat threw up on my stocking again' - now it's more 'all I want for Christmas is an early night and a debt-free future'.… Continue reading All I want for Christmas is a slow cooker
I just took a DNA test turns out I’m 100% doing Yoga this weekend
You know you're an adult in 2019 when the highlight of your weekend is going to a mindfulness festival. But there comes a point in adulthood (between avoiding emails and wondering when you'll win the lottery) when a detox is needed. Big Kid Problems Having spent the past few weeks cancelling plans to stay in… Continue reading I just took a DNA test turns out I’m 100% doing Yoga this weekend
The Hunger Games: Bottomless Brunch
You know you're an adult when you start factoring 'drunken regrets' into your monthly budget. But you know you're an adult in 2019 when these drunken regrets mostly relate to Bottomless Brunch (oh dear). If you're new to Bottomless Brunch, it's a chance to shove as much Prosecco and Avocado in your face as you… Continue reading The Hunger Games: Bottomless Brunch
Smuggy
Thanks to the Quarter Life Crisis, I've been so busy writing about when things go wrong in life, nothing prepared me for when things started going right. Mum: Hannah, there's a 6ft handsome man at the door with chocolate cake. *SILENCE* Me opening the door to my boyfriend when he made my favourite cake: It's… Continue reading Smuggy
Excuse me, there’s a greenfly in my Quinoa
Having spent 2018 scrolling through food stories on Instagram, it's no surprise that we've been welcomed into 2019 by vegetables. If, like me, you slept through the new year and only woke up to watch Birdbox, now is the time to Google 'Veganuary'. Girls Think I’m Funny Apparently, everyone has participated in the world's healthiest… Continue reading Excuse me, there’s a greenfly in my Quinoa
It’s time to begin, so count me in … 5,6,7 oh I give up
There comes a point in adulthood when your hopes and dreams are met with reality... "When I grow up I want to be fairly good at Excel from 9 to 5 and shove as much food as I can in my face during my lunch break" - said no one ever *proceeds to do this… Continue reading It’s time to begin, so count me in … 5,6,7 oh I give up
I Do … (want dessert)
I recently wrote about the reality of breaking-up - the chore of untagging yourself from endless holiday photos and figuring out who should get custody of the pug-patterned oven gloves (me) and the toaster (also me). But once the initial crappery of the situation has passed, the time comes to face the world again and… Continue reading I Do … (want dessert)
Oops I did it again
Every year, like most people, I have a birthday. And every year, grateful to have made it through to the 'next round', I face the same battle between 'call me Beyoncé' and 'well this is embarrassing, let's pretend I'm not here and go back to our normal lives' If this year is anything to go… Continue reading Oops I did it again
Ready, Steady, wait until the smoke alarm goes off and you know it’s cooked
Girls Think I'm Funny Has anyone else noticed that their social media feeds and TV channels are clogged up with people telling us to do more with food than just eat it? While I'm busy ordering Deliveroo to cure my hangover, foodies galore are telling me how to cook the perfect asparagus brunch and then… Continue reading Ready, Steady, wait until the smoke alarm goes off and you know it’s cooked
