Not a #BossBabe; Just Your Average Feminist
My Instagram feed is positively brimming with Boss Babe mugs. Is this a side effect of nearing thirty? Or maybe it’s just that after centuries of repression and a lack of basic rights, more women than ever are taking control of their own financial future. You know what, I think that’s it.

How Does Being A Woman Hinder My Understanding of The Game of Football?
After registering my name at the entrance, I am directed into the main hall of the seminar. There’s just some background music and many young people facing their phones. Until there’s an announcement from the speakers: ‘We do not want to see anyone sitting. Everyone must proceed to the gallery behind. There are drinks there. You must begin or join a conversation with someone beside you.’

Jellybean . Top Story - December 2021.
“I’ll start my diet on Monday” “I’ll lose the weight next year, I promise” “Once I lose this weight my life will be so much better”. I tell myself these small platitudes and for the briefest of moments, I truly believe them. I think I want to believe them because we’re so conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our outward beauty.

My Ex Girlfriend Told Me To Leave Her Alone (If You Leave Her Alone Will She Come Back)
Your girlfriend says she needs space. Whenever a woman says that, the man she is talking to panics a little inside. She may tell you that it's just for a little while so she can sort through some of what she's feeling. Maybe she'll say that she's feeling overwhelmed and can't think if she's always with you. Regardless of how she phrases it or what she says to justify it, when a woman tells a man she needs space, or time or some distance, it means just one thing. It's the first step towards an official break up. If the woman you love has told you that she needs some time for herself, you need to act now or you're going to lose her. It's really that simple.

The Naked Canvas
I’ve been feeling inspired to write about my experiences as a body art model over the last few years, which is something I feel really allows me to shine completely and I feel has let me break emotional and physical boundaries. On the first day I modelled, I was really aware of walking out of my comfort zone as I strode along the catwalk at the end of the show, and it was an experience I had never in my whole life had believed I could ever be allowed to feel. That first night, nearly three years ago, it was my birthday – January 12th, 2019. I will be turning 40 soon, as the year changes and the weeks start to roll, and I can say with full conviction that having had the opportunity to model for artist Robyn Jean on that first occasion, being painted as the Celtic Goddess Arianrhod, the Lady of the Silver Wheel, was one of the most healing as well as fascinating experiences of my life.

Embracing Cheugy
I was almost reconciled to being Basic. Depending on where you look Basic is almost generic. Unexciting. Plain. Unoriginal. Could mean naïve. Unsophisticated. The thing is, it’s been around for years now, since 2013, so I’m kind of used to it. Basic is practically a classic.
