Are product/service reviews influential to you?
Consider how difficult it would be to make a purchase if no one left a review for any product or service. Product reviews are an important aspect of the purchase process, especially because we millennials spend so much time online shopping. Personally, I believe that reviews impact everything we do. The brands we purchase, the… Continue reading

You can only imagine my surprise and confusion when I saw stretch marks on my arms and a new set of stretch marks on my thighs.

Easter has nothing to do with bunnies and eggs

My fleeting moment in France
France, I believe, will always have a special place in my heart, and I’ll explain why. This was my first trip out of the country in a long time, and it felt liberating. So when I think of Paris, it will always represent freedom to me. I took this trip in October of last year,… Continue reading

Is this what the 30s is about?
First and foremost, where is March going? I feel like I blinked and we’re already knocking on April’s door. I believe my 31st birthday was the most uninteresting birthday ever.

Performative Emotional Distance
Performative emotional distance was a concept I first learned about a few days ago. I was aware of the idea, but I couldn’t explain it in a way that made sense. What exactly is performative emotional distance, though? The best way I can explain it is that you hold back your emotions, actions, words, and… Continue reading

I love being a woman, you should too
When I think back on my tomboy days, I cringe. My demeanor and the way I carried myself reflected my masculine side. I was about 10 or 11 years old at the time, and my young and naive self had no idea what it took to be a woman. Being a free woman is a… Continue reading

The Laws Of Power (Part 1)
I recently started reading a book I have always wanted to read titled, “The concise 48 laws of power by Robert Greene” and it has been insightful and mind-opening. Not to get all religious on you but if you’re familiar with the book of Proverbs in the bible, you’ll recognise some of these laws. I… Continue reading

I don’t miss the pain
Waking up at night and experiencing the worst pain in my left arm was no joke. I must have slept in a weird way I thought as I nursed myself back to sleep with hopes that I would feel better in the morning. The pain was worse in the morning. I then remembered that the… Continue reading

When in doubt, travel to Malta
Towards the end of last year, I wanted to travel to somewhere warm but close to London and after a bit of research, Malta was selected as the destination of choice.

What’s going on with my social life? Things have been little dull around here lately. I started the year set out to achieve so many things but it looks like there’s been a neglect in that area.

Are you team city or suburbs?
Sometimes, I forget how beautiful London is but I will never forget what it does to my soul. I immediately feel alive when I’m in the city. A lot of people romanticize how beautiful and peaceful it is living outside London but I think London is the place for me. I have tried to convince… Continue reading

I get very erratic when the time of the month approaches. It is like a possession. From random cravings to mood swings, pain in the boobies, anxiety, depression, bloating, stomach pain and just a combination of bad vibes that throws you off completely.

Trauma triggers
I had a traumatic experience a few years ago, and the memory of that event lingered in my mind for a long time. In fact, the trauma influenced many of my adult decisions. I believe that going to therapy would have been the right thing to do, but I did not. I was gradually healing… Continue reading
