labels – a box that doesn’t fit anymore

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely young woman called Leen, whose writing really struck a chord with me. I've been feeling really stuck with a lot of personal topics, so I am very pleased to host her thoughts about labels here today! "Hello, my name is Leen and I am …

adagio tea – feat. exclusive giveaway!

You all know how much I love tea. If I could write poetry, I would write odes and sonnets to its deliciousness. I have a pretty good collection of mugs to drink my tea from, if I say so myself. And even when I do dabble in a coffee or two, I always go back …

april wrap-up

April was an okay month for me - lots of travelling, and it was my 23rd birthday. My posting wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be, but I'm working on it. Book reviews: Small Town Hearts In at the Deep End Internment Happy Fat Mental Health Monday: Me at 23 Fatphobia …

#mentalhealthmonday – me at 23

#mentalhealthmonday – being teetotal doesn’t totally suck

So I've finally done something that, to be honest, I should have done a long time ago. I've gone teetotal. Trigger warnings: mentions of alcohol I've known that I should probably not drink alcohol for a while now. My horrible psychiatrist told me, my very lovely therapist told me, and my adequate doctor told me. But …

why I don’t use Goodreads’ star ratings

I use Goodreads for a lot of things. Obviously I keep track of the books that I've read, and books that are on my TBR. I often also use the lists to find books with specific representation and themes, though obviously because they're made by Goodreads users, they're not perfect. But that's not what I'm …

#mentalhealthmonday – love yourself

It's that time of year again - Valentine's day. To start this post on a personal note, I don't really have any thoughts about Valentine's day. I agree, it's a corporate holiday, and that there shouldn't be just one day of the year where people make an effort for their partner/s. And it's another example …
