You know you're an adult when you have a hobby. But you know you're truly an adult when your hobby becomes your entire personality. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMP0xQUo5yX/?igsh=ZGJjdWlqZG5uMHFp My hobby obsession began in childhood (the source of all my problems according to my therapist). There was country dancing, swim camp, woodcraft ... There was also the time I… Continue reading Find me in the (crafts) club

London
You know you're an adult when you take a trip to London. But you know you're truly an adult when you still get excited at the prospect of going to the big city. https://youtu.be/41XXQsY3Vic?feature=shared First up was getting the train, which comes with all the anxiety that everything will go horribly wrong. Losing my ticket.… Continue reading London
Help, I’m healthy (this week)
You know you're an adult when you start making healthy choices. But you know you're truly an adult when your healthy choices (drumroll please) pay off. Wahey! (Oh no, does this mean I have to create a Tik-Tok account where I arrogantly impose my healthy choices upon other people so they too can lead a… Continue reading Help, I’m healthy (this week)
The Dictionary
Contains language You know you're an adult when you acquire random items. But you know you're truly an adult when you put these items in your home, forget about them and nobody questions where they came from. Me: 'I like to keep the house minimal and clean' Mum: 'Here's a random bag of crap I… Continue reading The Dictionary
Pie and Prejudice
You know you're an adult when your friends rely on you for help. But you know you're truly an adult when you wonder what superhero power you'll need to pull out the bag to save the day. Like the time my friend dropped her car keys down a muddy drain near my house on a… Continue reading Pie and Prejudice
Burlesque
It was only the other day when I attended a Burlesque class in the centre of Manchester, I realised that any hobby which doesn't conform to societal standards is suddenly wildly appealing to me. Society: You're 32? Your hobbies are now M&S, complaining loudly in the garden centre, baby showers and repeatedly asking the physio… Continue reading Burlesque
The Confidence Crisis
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
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
Brace Face
Back in my day (when we were allowed outside) life's beauty procedures were less 'Instagram and Botox' and more 'pick out a colour for your train-track braces' #thosewerethedays. If, like me, you wore dental braces through school (complete with bushy hair and an oversized backpack), you'll remember the pain well. So, I was disappointed to… Continue reading Brace Face
