Weddings are romantic, exciting and a good excuse for a party, but next to house moving, getting married is also high up there on the list of life’s most stressful events. So really, deciding to put a wedding on the cards before Christmas would be quite ludicrous. And […]
A year ago I revealed myself to the world. Sharing my most shaded secret with Grazia magazine, I confessed probably the biggest social taboo of today: I had no friends. Having struggled half my life with post traumatic stress following an assault at 16, I’d reached the point […]
Since the day we learned we lost our baby, it seems all we see is babies. When you’ve gone from being a first time expectant parent to grieving the premature loss of your baby, you notice all the adverts with babies in, every single passing pushchair and […]
Women with big boobs are constantly being told what we can’t do. Not only is it frustrating to be put into a box and labelled, it isn’t socially responsible or fair when that judgement is plain wrong. How many times have you read this type […]
I never imagined that the first time I’d see my first ever baby she wouldn’t be alive. Laying in a dimmed room, in the illumination of the monitor, I saw my baby, like a little sleeping hippo, cocooned in the safety of my belly. But […]

IBS is a pain in the butt, so when I was asked to trial a product that could possibly cure my irritable bowel syndrome I jumped at the chance. Having tried medications and self help that made no difference I was a little skeptical, but the daily drain […]
If I were to be judged by my Instagram, my life is all rabbits and lingerie. While that is vastly true, it’s only the aesthetically pleasing side to my life. But, real life isn’t neatly packaged and trimmed with a bow, and we’re all a little guilty […]
I’ve been on ‘the pill’ for a heck of a long time. And, unlike most people’s reasons for taking a contraceptive prescription, mine was for sanity: I had demon periods. For years I dreaded my period that more resembled giving birth; two days every month spent […]
It’s just about the end of Winter yet we’re still bracing relatively arctic conditions. With an icy chill in the air and snow threatening to fall at every moment, it’s apt that February has been Raynaud’s Awareness Month. I’ve often spoken about my personal Raynaud’s experience and […]
