You know you’re an adult when you have the ‘we have food at home’ talk with yourself in the supermarket. Me at the supermarket: ‘must stick to the shopping list’ Also me in the supermarket: ‘ooh a marshmallow assortment gift box’ At the age of 32, I consider myself a sensible and responsible adult. (A... Continue Reading →
You know you’re an adult in 2023 when you book yourself a spa day. But you know you’re truly an adult in 2023 when you book the spa on a Monday, so you can do that instead of turning up to work. That’s what happened to me when I had a ‘must escape reality’ moment.... Continue Reading →
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.

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 →
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 →
