Making my way through my twenties, one slip at a time
My favourites on Instagram: Enhancing the Instagram experience
Instagram. Us millennials and centennials are all guilty of spending hours on end scrolling through the app, consecutively double-tapping on aesthetically pleasing images that comprise our feeds as a signal of our liking, even if we haven’t read their captions entirely. The platform is renowned for its toxicity in encouraging users – particularly young peopleContinue reading “My favourites on Instagram: Enhancing the Instagram experience”
Things I wish I’d known before starting Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I’ve always been a gamer girl. Growing up in the early noughties with an older brother by three years who has owned all the PlayStation consoles to date, and would play classics like Abe’s Odyssey, Tekken Tag and Grand Theft Auto, I always wanted to get in on the action. Likewise, I have owned manyContinue reading “Things I wish I’d known before starting Animal Crossing: New Horizons”
The annoyances of being a perfectionist
I’m a perfectionist. I always have been. It’s just another trait of my hyper-organised self which I’ve mentioned a few times on my blog already (I even offer how-to guides which focus on being more organised). To a perfectionist, the slightest of errors, mistakes and mishaps that transpire on the daily can be extremely irritating,Continue reading “The annoyances of being a perfectionist”
It’s been almost a year and I’m still not over losing my dog
Anybody who owns a pet would agree that pets are not just pets; they are members of the family. And incredibly special members, too.

InContinue reading “It’s been almost a year and I’m still not over losing my dog”

The virtual pub quiz has seemingly taken the world by storm amid the coronavirus pandemic. As families and friends across the globe have gone weeks – even months – without seeing each other to assist in stopping the spread of COVID-19, many – including my own – have turned to hosting and/or engaging in regularContinue reading “Running out of ideas for your next virtual pub quiz?

Living with someone with a chronic illness: A World IBD Day tribute
This summer will mark four years since my fiancé Daniel and I started living together. I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way; I love waking up to him every morning and going to sleep beside him every night, especially after a long, hard-working day. Nonetheless, it’s safe to say we haven’t always had itContinue reading “Living with someone with a chronic illness: A World IBD Day tribute”
The advantages and disadvantages of being (very) short in everyday life
To me, being (very) short is a large part of my identity. More often than not, my height is the first thing people notice about me. At school, however, I was almost made to feel like it was problematic; the observation “you’re so short!” was made daily (that’s right: every single day for five wholeContinue reading “The advantages and disadvantages of being (very) short in everyday life”
This blog post doesn’t really have a title…
Except that it does, but it’s not a “proper” title. I guess my point is that this blog doesn’t have a specific theme; as my first blog post, it’s an introduction to myself, my blog and a smattering of other nonsense fused into one. If you’re reading this, you probably came across a post thatContinue reading “This blog post doesn’t really have a title…”
