This is my second post as part of the #TalkingPeriods campaign, and today I’m going to be open and honest about how my period blighted my teenage years and filled them with confusion, upset and anger. And that’s just down to my mood swings alone! This campaign is all about encouraging a positive attitude towards our body’s natural functions, and sometimes that means...

It's been almost a month since we moved into our swanky new apartment, and we've settled in pretty nicely. It occurred to me that I haven't yet gave you all a VIP tour of my favourite space in our place - my room of course!

My dream has finally been realised, and it's been two weeks since my boyfriend and I moved into our seaside apartment.

When NYX released their "Total Control Drop Foundation" line, I had just, coincidentally, ran out of their "Stay Matte Not Flat" foundation. I had a love / hate relationship with that particular choice, so after hearing rave reviews, and being a huge...

We all have those books we always reach for, no matter how many new ones we buy. I'm guilty of this, as I'm sure many others are. Currently, I'm running out of space in my room to contain my addiction, yet I still don't make time to read what I have before buying something new - I'm a literature student, can you really...

There's a certain amount of pressure within the blogging community to keep up appearances and be on the top of your game 24/7. Social media is, without a doubt, one of the great inventions of our time. We're able to communicate openly and honestly with strangers across the world, sharing our emotions, achievements and day to day anecdotes in a constant stream of...
