Last week was a manic one but it got me well and truly into that festive feeling. It all kicked off with the Meadowhall Shopping Centre’s light switch on. Year after year this gets bigger and is now a fully fledged concert hosted by Capital Yorkshire which draws in a crowd of 15,000! This years […]

How I Made Over £800 Selling Stuff I No Longer Wanted!
I’ll prequel this with if you have a lot of stuff you’ll have a lot to sell so it’s swings and roundabouts really AND I’ve spent money to get to the point of having things to sell! However since working with Mercari a fairly new to the U.K. selling app I’ve been using it to […]
You Have the Right to Remain Fat- Book Review
Just before my last trip I came across an email in my junk asking if I’d be interested in reading a new short book (manifesto) called You Have The Right To Remain Fat written by Virgie Tovar- you might not know the name but you’ll certainly recognise her – as an activist and expert on […]

How Watching Love Island Can Help Your Career!
I’d never watched Love Island until a couple of weeks ago, and I must say upon first watching I was not impressed. Lots of arguments, preening and of course snogs and what not.

Why You Don’t Have to Wear a Bikini to be Body Confident
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now and never quite expressed myself how I wanted to (and so never hit publish) but I’m here to try again!

Luckily the lovely Leeds blogger gangs took me under their wings and I now class myself as a Leeds blogger whenever I’m asked! I blooming love Leeds and […]
You Should Come to My Hood
If you think I’ve suddenly turned street on you then fear not I’ve actually always been this way! It is always interesting to see people’s reactions when I talk about what kind of music I’m into which I feel heavily influences me and some of the words I use and understand. I’m teaching the young […]
Ditching Flattering Thinking
I will always preach how you should not worry about what others think about you, or worry about being judged for clothing (or not clothing!) your body in a certain way, but I know in reality we don’t all feel that way. It takes time so whilst you go seek some inspiration and start to […]
