I am a 20 year old with a healthy interest in videogaming, society, writing, digital photography, writing music and sketching.

The Devil Wears Primark

My favourite t-shirt cost a mere £3. I bought it from Primark, a value UK clothing chain who sell every garment imaginable, from fuzzy pajama bottoms to cut price evening dresses. Unsurprisingly, they have been touted as one of the most popular and cheapest fashion stores..
And guess what, they have also been voted […]

Keeping Fit and Losing Wiight

I enjoy exercise. Jogging, cycling, badminton and even the odd hula hoop are my preferred method of bum-firming and serotonin. I also enjoy videogaming. A lot. And an increasing number of people of all ages are merging these two seemingly opposing interests and turning to the one media previously chastised be the […]

E133, E210, E-wwww

How many of us really know what’s in our food?
Celebrities, campaigns, and informative guides have all tried to help alert the public to the dangers of additives and saturated fats, yet we’re still far from the natural and organic palate most of us are striving to achieve.
In particular, E-numbers have caused a stir for a […]

Don’t Mess With PMS

It’s the start of a new week and already I feel haggard and exhausted. My moods are swinging like a particularly feisty pendulum and my breasts ache. It can only mean one thing: my good friend PMS is on the horizon.
The beginnings of some minor stomach cramps, an increased feeling of self-consciousness and […]

No Holes Barred

A lot of people don’t like the idea of a piercing, be it for religious, moral or personal reasons. Personally, I have no objection. After all, we can’t all be the same.
I don’t mind conflict of opinion, but notice a lot of people go beyond the reprimand of “If God intended you to […]

My Sexual Revolution is Man(made)

The biggest secret I ever discovered was sex. I was twelve years old when I started to wise up to my body changing, and fourteen when I first properly thought about the s-word.
Growing up, my knowledge on the classroom-rumoured Facts Of Life were always rather naïve; my Barbie and Ken dolls sometimes tried giving […]

Spring: The Season Of Spending! (and Giving)

Spring has almost well and truly sprung (although judging by the volume of welly-wearers and inverted brollies here in the UK, you’d never know it!). With the sunshine and cute baby lambs come the impending boom of car-boot sales (that’s yard sales to most of you), a tradition which is to me like soil […]

Happily Ever After?…Yawn.

Once upon a time, I used to think I was an old-fashioned romantic. Now I know for sure that I’m not. Sure, I’d love to believe in fairytale stories and picturesque idealism – but then again, wouldn’t we all?
For the majority of us, love won’t be rosy and full of references to the […]

The Social Networking Headache

I have a headache, and believe me, I’m not one for headaches.
Fortunately this ailment is of the metaphorical sort, although admittedly it does make me want to bash my head against a brick wall. Repeatedly.
I’m talking about social networking: MySpace, Bebo, Facebook, Faceparty, Sitonmybook, Myfacebookspaceparty…all right, so the last couple I made up, but it […]
