A Day in Bouznika & Casablanca: What (not) to do

Just in case you aren't bored hearing about my trip to Morocco, here is the second of three posts telling you what I got up to and whether it's worth it.  This post in particular is exploring the cities of Bouznika and Casablanca, which we managed to both cover in the same day. Bouznika: Eden Island Surf …

The “Dreaded Bikini Pic” with Mermaid in England*

As I wrote recently in a post, for the first time in a while I'm actually okay with my body.  I've had so many different issues in the past, tried every diet under the sun, and cried over the way that I look more times than I can count.  However, the more I look back at that, …

The Book of Mormon… Hmmmmm

So, my friends and I went to see the Book of Mormon... I feel like this review is going to be slightly controversial because I've never heard anyone say a bad word about it, but I'm sorry to say that I?  Didn't?  Like?  It? I went into it, like I go into most musicals, having no real idea …

Nailing the Narrative: You Do You

I mentioned right at the beginning of June that I wanted to get into reading for fun more, and so as a result, me, Crystal from Et Tu, World and Eni from Eni's Struggling Student Survival Guide have started a book club! Every 2 weeks, we read the same book, discuss it together, and "Nail …

10 Things I Learnt in Chicago

As you probably know if you read my stuff regularly, I’m a massive sucker for retrospect and personal growth.  There are so many events and choices that I’ve made in my life that have changed the course of my life significantly, be that through what I’ve learnt from them or the through the direction they …

My “Summer Body” & a Healthy Approach to the Gym

Since starting this blog, I've had an ongoing series called My Food Mentality, in which I document my journey from unhealthy food patterns and disordered thinking to finally feeling comfortable in my own skin.  However, it has been a while since I gave an update on everything, and I thought I'd explain why... In all honesty, …

7 Things that Make me Happy

I've had quite a few posts and videos recently exploring the rough time I've had mentally... Exams and the overall unexpected busy nature of this year took a toll on me and I went into a rapid mental decline.  However, through all the low moments, when I was stuck crying in my bed thinking that nothing was …

Home for the Summer (Kinda…)

So I finished my exams, I handed in that last killer essay, gruellingly packed up my room and headed back to London for the summer... Time for relaxation and the long-awaited joy of staying in one place, right?  Nope, not at all.   As I mentioned in my post about my summer worries, I applied for a lot …

A Letter to those who Accept my “Crazy”

To those who accept my "crazy", I know that I'm not always the easiest person to deal with.  Sometimes my brain takes over and I lose control, and nothing feels as it should and I begin to doubt everything that I've come to know. I push you away, I say things I don't mean, and …

Reading Again & Nailing the Narrative…

As you may know if you've read any of my uni-related posts, I study English Literature and Philosophy.  Which means, due to the English Literature side, I never really stop reading.  I have been up to my nose in reading lists stretching from Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett since I've started, and honestly, I've never enjoyed reading less.   I …
