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)

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)
‘Tis the Season – to be wondering what the f*** 2020 was all about
2020 has been the gift that keeps on giving - except you didn't ask for it and can't return it because it didn't come with a receipt. For a lot of us, Christmas this year will be like no other - but also exactly like every day of the year since March (pyjamas all day,… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season – to be wondering what the f*** 2020 was all about
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
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
Scare bnb
There's nothing like a holiday to escape reality. But when my boyfriend and I went on a recent trip, we got more than we bargained for at our Airbnb. We were busy enjoying some peace and quiet when there was an unexpected knock at the door. Standing in the old Georgian apartment, I had a… Continue reading Scare bnb
