A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 13)
If you've ever owned a pet you know that they are a bit of a mystery. It's hard to get inside of their heads and figure out what is really going on. We can look for subtle hints and signs, but sometimes there is really no road map to understanding your pet.

How to Take Down a Rapist
Empowerment after sexual assault is an astounding experience. To take back your name, your body: simply to continue to exist. In light of the recent #metoo, conversations around healing are more public. Healing is not a linear path as moments, triggers and memories can arise unexpectedly. For this reason, unconventional acts of resilience and love can provide a survivor comfort and empowerment.

My Favourite Lush Products
Lush is a great brand if you're looking for amazing quality, organic, cruelty-free skincare. I have temperamental skin, and so my skin freaks out at the slightest change in routine. But Lush products are not harsh on the skin, and are gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.

The Real Stories of Buying from Breeders
This story begins when I decided I wanted to add a special needs cat to my family of two cats, unborn child and myself. It was posted on Facebook that there was a blind pure bred Siamese kitten that needed a home and I knew she would be the perfect fit. When I got her, she was about 10 weeks old, blind, and about a month behind in her growth. This is when my work started. I knew the extra work that was going to be involved in a blind cat and was ready to get her as healthy as possible. We were unsure of her sight prognosis at the time and just knew we needed to do what we could to help her.

No
No. So short. So punctual. Two simple letters, packed with meaning. A simple yes, or no can change your mood, day, quite possibly your entire life.

Gharials - The Best of the Crocodile Grins!
The first successful breeding of gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) in Europe took place at Protivin Crocodile Zoo in the Czech Repulic this year, an incredible achievement—congratulations! Following this, I decided to dedicate this entry to the urgent plight of the gharial and take this opportunity to nerd out about what are hands down my favourite species of crocodilian.

Dealing With Death
My dad wasn't a bad man. He didn't have the easiest upbringing; having multiple older siblings that looked after him most of the time. He grew up in Luton surrounded my family. He met a woman and had a child, and then met my mum and went on to have four more children.
