I know this girl - let's call her Bronte. Bronte is the kind of girl that always has a boyfriend. In a sea of losers, and in a city where most men Bronte's age want to date someone 20 years younger, Bronte always has a date. Whilst stuck at home on a Saturday night, her single group of friends discuss how 'lucky' Bronte is - how she must have some secret power, or perverted sex trick that allures MORE +
A Short Guide To Procrastination (which I eventually got around to writing).
Maybe this post is not for you. It might be that you are the type of person who was born motivated, with a digitised to-do list and the cut-throat efficiency to methodically churn your way through it. Then again, maybe you are the type of person who just mooches through life with a vague plan of intent, some fuzzy hopes and dreams and goes to bed each night with the sour taste of MORE +
Three Ways To Be A Better Person.
As you know - I have little patience for people who are forever telling us how they are 'living their best life'. Its not that I am jealous exactly - I just wish they would just go about their awesome lives with a little less fanfare. Great - whatever, I am happy for you - but is it entirely necessary to rub your 'best life' in my 'kinda-Ok-doing-my-best' and MORE +
Are Your Finances Making You Sick?
Not having enough money can be a pain in the arse. But did you know financial stress can literally manifest as physical pain in your body? According to Louise Hay, author and healer, money worries are often felt in the form of lower back pain specifically. I was reminded of this yesterday whilst trying to work out my renovation budget. Whilst my heart was saying Architectural Digest, my wallet MORE +
The Gift of Heartache & The Joy of Failure
'What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.' Ugh. Unlike a lot of lame inspirational quotes, this one is sad but true. And quite frankly, sometimes so much crap gets thrown our way, we honestly want to just yell, 'Enough already! Go fling some of that sh*t at someone new!' But, as most of you know, I am all about the bright side - so, here's a reminder of two crap things that will not MORE +
Three Real Love (Island) Lessons
When it comes to the telly, there are two types of people. Those of us that watched, enjoyed and literally obsessed over Love Island. And the rest of you, who cleverly decided that you had more important ways to spend 58 (!) hours of your life (and quite frankly, after last week's post I am ashamed of myself.) But, in my defence, I did have the flu and to be fair, between the 'kicking off', MORE +
How to Change Your Life in 15 Minutes.
I just spent the last 15 minutes deciding what my first sentence might be. The 15 minutes before that scrolling through Instagram. And the 15 before that faffing around making a cup of tea. That's 45 minutes of F*ck all right there my friends. I am not prone to boasting, but it's safe to say I do 'not much' exceedingly well. I am fairly reliable when it comes to time wasting. And I MORE +
The Four Burner Theory & The Myth of Having it All.
This is one for all you over-achievers out there. And for the rest of us whose brains feel like they have too many damn tabs open. All at the same time. The Four Burner Theory originated from a piece written by David Sedaris in The New Yorker, back in 2009. He described it thus: “One burner represents your family, one is your friends, the third is your health, and the fourth is your MORE +
How To Be Less Annoying.
There is no question that some people are more annoying than others. Just for fun, and in case you have no idea how irritating that thing-you-always-do is, let’s look at what really gets up other people’s noses and (for the sake of mankind’s sanity), make a concerted effort not to do it. The Humble Brag: Nobody likes a show off, but more excruciating still, is the brag that hides behind a MORE +
The Secret to Finding Happiness (in 5 Minutes or Less).
If you have ever done a Yoga class, you will appreciate how magical that bit at the end is, when you get to lie flat on your back and do absolutely nothing. For like, five whole minutes. It is AMAZING. Which is weird, because I have plenty of time in my day to do exactly that. Just to lie on the floor and do nothing. But do I? No, I do not - what do you think I am? Some kind of a nut job? I MORE +
