Let’s Talk Periods – The Sometimes Awful Reality Of The Pill..

period meme the pill

Contraception, of any form, has always been a pretty murky subject – rarely spoken about in depth, with the side effects often ignored and people being left in total darkness as to what is and should be ‘normal’. The conversation surrounding popular contraceptive methods, and most often, the pill, has been growing recently, as more and more choose to lead an artificial-hormone-free lifestyle. Having been on multiple pills from the relatively young age of thirteen, I wanted to shed some light on why I’m not the biggest fan, but why a hormone-free life just isn’t my cup of tea in all honesty..

I’m Ready To Talk – My Mental Health Story..

Inspired by the courage and strength of Just Jodes’ video on her mental health journey, I decided it was time to open up and get things off my chest. I’ve spoken before on my blog – to some extent – about my mental health and the struggles I’ve faced. I’ve never been ashamed to talk about it, but I wanted to be in a position where I felt comfortable and safe before I fully opened up and went into detail. I’m there now, I’m ready so I apologise in advance for the rambley post but it’s needed..

A 21st Birthday Wishlist..

“This year is absolutely flying”, a comment I’ve read over and over again since the beginning of February. Are you sick of hearing it yet?! I feel like I was only writing my festive wish list a couple of weeks ago, and yet, here I am preparing for my 21st birthday, featuring yet another awfully put together graphic.

One Year Blogging And A Life Update – Featuring MyPersonalisedCase..

As a pre-warning, this is going to be a super long and probably more rambly post than I would’ve liked, but I very much feel like it’s needed. I would suggest grabbing yourself a cuppa, or a glass of wine – or in my case, a fizzy drink – and settling down for a little life update..

Dating App Do’s & Absolutely Do Not’s…

I say this as though I’m proud of it, but I’ve used almost every dating app you can possibly imagine – Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Bumble, Hinge. You name it, and I’ve tried it out, almost always out of curiosity more than hoping to find ‘the one’. Tinder can be a pretty murky and confusing place to navigate, at best but it’s where I find myself the most as you’ll know if you’ve read my previous dating posts. I’ve learnt a lot on my dating app travels, and I wanted to impart my wisdom – things that, in my opinion, you should do, and things you absolutely, definitely should not do – when trying to attract the opposite sex..
