My Five Fave Things About...

...being a girl. 

Surprised? I know at least one of you will be. (In jokes on blog posts are really annoying I know, so I fully apologise for this guys). 


Honestly though, being a girl can be pretty shit a lot of the time- dealing with fuck boys, having periods, people voting for Donald Trump to be President so he can tell men everywhere that it's okay to grab you by the pussy... you get my drift. However, it's not all bad being a girl. In fact, sometimes it's the best thing ever because...

You can be a princess allllllll the time
My best friend text me on my birthday saying "What have you been doing today?" and I genuinely wasn't lying when I told her I'd been lying in bed all day wearing a tiara. The same friend also bought me a tiara for my birthday, taking my collection up to three now. You don't see boys getting to wear tiara's and calling their bratty behaviour 'princess' behaviour, do you? 



We have better underwear choices
Is there even a male equivalent to Victorias Secret? If there is I am 100000000% sure it's nowhere near as nice. I bought velvet underwear the other day. Velvet!! Please continue to sit there in your basic Calvin Kleins whilst us girls get our pick of Swarovski encrusted bras (we can't afford them but we can still try them on so it's still a win okay).



Makeup!
Okay so I'm not saying boys can't wear makeup- I know boys who's contour game is stronger than any other aspect of my life which is hella unfair, but speaking very generally, girls get to have fun with makeup and boys don't. I could make myself a whole new person tomorrow if I wanted and boys would be none the wiser because she'll be gone with the wipe of a cotton pad and some cleanser the following day. 




You can cry without people making fun of you
It's totally unfair, because boys should be able to cry, of course they should! But if they cry at a movie they'll almost always be called names or laughed at. Girls can bawl their eyes out at an advert and text their friend only to find out she is also crying. (This has genuinely happened to me in the last week. Maybe more than once) You can also cry when clothes don't fit, pizza doesn't taste how you want it to, boys are mean to you and at puppies. 



You can talk allllllll the time
I hate awkward silences, I hate having to hold things in and I hate sponsored silences. All I want in life is to just talk about everything and anything with anyone. Particularly things like sloths on Planet Earth, but you know, I'm yet to find someone who will indulge in that conversation with me. That example aside, I know right now I could call a girlfriend and talk for hours about absolutely nothing and still enjoy it. 



What are your fave things about being a girl?

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

By -

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
