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

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
Reader, I bought it (and now I regret it)
It was only the other day, when I was online shopping-not-shopping, I somehow pressed the 'order now, have it tomorrow!' button. As it turns out, the power of persuasion really doesn't make your dreams comes true... But it does bring you an unnecessary and probably not environmentally sustainable fancy dress costume. Friend: "what have you… Continue reading Reader, I bought it (and now I regret it)
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
Stop interrupting my grinding
Girls Think I'm Funny The Quarter Life Crisis wouldn't be complete without a messy break-up - followed by tears, cocktails, wine, more cocktails, therapy and an unwelcome appreciation for Celine Dion. While the world is full of pressure to meet the 'one' (the one who won't blue tick you on WhatsApp), if something isn't right… Continue reading Stop interrupting my grinding
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Secret bar. OoOh.
There comes a point in your adulthood where you feel the urge to reign in your drinking habits. For me, this is currently spurred on by the trend in vegan brunches, yoga classes and 'look after yourself' memes #blessed. ImgFlip Luckily, I've discovered secret bars so now I can hide my 'should have gone to… Continue reading Knock, knock. Who’s there? Secret bar. OoOh.
I’ve got 99 plans but I can’t stick to one
As someone who prides themselves on their organisation skills, I'm currently hiding behind perfectly arranged, colour coordinated cushions in embarrassment - I've double booked my friends and now I have to break the bad news. Before my Quarter Life Crisis, sticking to a plan was as simple as, well, sticking to a plan. Now adulthood… Continue reading I’ve got 99 plans but I can’t stick to one
