Not many of my friends know I blog. I know a lot of experienced bloggers will say I should promote my blog on my personal Facebook, and I understand where they are coming from – its a lot of potential readers! I choose not to do this for 3 reasons: 1. I don’t want to be … [Read more…]
I was having a poke about on the internet the other day and I came across an article (I think it was on Buzzfeed, but I could well be wrong!) about lies men tell women to get them to sleep with them earlier than the would normally feel comfortable with. A few of them rang … [Read more…]
I wrote this when I first started my blog. I fully intended to post it at the time, but when it came to it, I bottled it. Its such a personal post and I decided against posting it. I was talking to another blogger today on Twitter and she inspired me to bite me lip, … [Read more…]

Amanda Knox has finally been cleared of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Not before time.
