Confessions of a shopaholic

By -



Without being too stereotypical or sexist...all girls love to shop, right? Well, I know that I definitely love to shop. More so as I've become single and now have more money to spend on myself and not someone else! I also love the feeling of treating myself, of knowing how much overtime I've done at work so what extra bits I can afford here and there. I love hearing the postman knock, getting a dispatch email, photographing new products...it's all just an amazing experience. If you're a shopaholic like me, you'll get what I'm saying. And you might just relate to some of these thoughts and feelings too...


You get lots of post. But most of it is those annoying cards telling you how many mere minutes you missed your postman by and that you can't get your parcel until tomorrow, where you will no doubt miss it again.

Nothing makes you happier than wearing new clothes for the first time. You get to create new outfits, show off your clothes to your friends, post Instagram selfies... it's just endless happiness, right?

Looking at your bank account can be pretty terrifying. But you just can't help yourself. Girls just wanna have fun(ds)...so they can shop.

You own duplicate items. Except they aren't the same because they vary in colour, or slightly in shape or one is a cheap dupe. Duh. They are all needed.

Your card details are saved on your favourite websites. Shopping is quicker and you have no time to back out whilst typing in card details, because you just have to click one button and the money is gone.

You take advantage of PayPal. If you haven't used and abused the 'pay after delivery' option, what kind of shopaholic are you?




The postman is bored of bringing you parcels. And makes humorous but at the same time totally sarcastic and not funny comments about how many you get. "A parcel for you again? Wow!". Shut up.

You visit the post office so much they no longer ID you. Same goes for your favourite shops too. In fact, they know your name, a bit about your life and can make conversation with you because you are there so much you may as well be besties.

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
