You know you're in your 30s when you reach new levels of not giving a sh*t. But you know you're truly in your 30s when being unapolotegically yourself is the key to happiness. Turns out, it's not algebra like school taught us it was. Once upon a time (thanks to the Daily Mail), being a… Continue reading The Confidence Crisis (part one)

In the Club
You know you're an adult when the highlight of your week is going to the dentist. But you know you're truly an adult when you book your dentist appointment slap bang in the middle of the working day because you'd rather have your teeth pulled at than attend another pointless meeting. If, like me, you've… Continue reading In the Club
Hello from the other side (of 30)
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)
Hitched
Thanks to society, there's a stigma that women need to achieve everything by the age of 30. *Cue universal uproar*. Thanks to this ridiculousness, women have adopted a Pankhurst-inspired energy to embrace life when things don’t work out by this grand old age. Like me, for example who rebelled against this 'achieving everything' malarky by… Continue reading Hitched
Stripped
The other day my partner and I went upstairs for a screw. NO - it's not what you're thinking. It's far sexier than that. I'm referring to assembling flat pack furniture (wahoo!). If a global pandemic wasn't enough of a relationship survival test, my fiancé and I decided to level up our adulting endeavours and… Continue reading Stripped
Stairway to A&E
Thanks to the global pandemic, we live by one rule - stay at home and watch Netflix (in your pj's and eat all the snacks). So it goes without saying that we shouldn’t put ourselves in situations where we might need to go to hospital. To be fair, Covid or no Covid, that's quite a… Continue reading Stairway to A&E
All Grown Up (ish)
There's nothing like a social media 'engagement' post to really put you off the Internet. But there's nothing like being the one who posted it (guilty). Having spent all of Christmas Eve in my pyjamas, I was intrigued to notice my boyfriend put on his best (and only) shirt for the evening. In a bid… Continue reading All Grown Up (ish)
Quarantine Life Crisis
You know you're an adult in 2020 when Covid-19 is among us, it's the END OF THE WORLD and you've been tasked with doing your bit (and trying not to get dramatic about it). In order to stop the spread of this deadly virus and save lives, the majority of us have spent this year… Continue reading Quarantine Life Crisis
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
