First of many.

Hi. Hey. So I decided I would start a blog because I spend too much time talking to myself whilst walking to work when I should really just write it down. Every morning I put my headphones in and have a 20 minute conversation with myself on whatever topic has popped into my head- and …

Teach girls bravery not perfection.

I recently watched a TED Talk on Facebook by a woman named Reshma Saujani, these words are the ones that rang most true. "Most girls are taught to avoid risk and failure, they are taught to smile pretty, play it safe, get all A's. Boys on the other hand are taught to play rough, taught …

Free my nipples.

I did a photoshoot a few months ago for a girl in her final year at London College of Fashion. She had made these beautiful Greek wedding veils and wanted them captured in a natural environment that took no distraction from them. So we shot them topless and with a really natural make up look- I …

A Love Letter to Myself.

This photo was taken whilst I was a patient at The Cardinal Clinic, in Windsor. I was admitted to the clinic for bulimia, self harm and depression. This picture was taken by the group of friends that I made whilst I was a patient there. In this picture I hated myself, I hated everything about …

I remember spending …

Bulimia & Self Harm

Okay so I am taking a bit more of a personal approach to this post so give me a minute! I began my journey of self-destruction quite early on, around the ages 12 or 13. At this age my biological father had not been in my life for many years and he became a separate …

Men aren’t pigs.

Men aren't pigs; they really aren't. In fact I love me, I have a lot of wonderful men in my life who have enhanced it and have become very good friends, I have a father who is a great man, a grandfather who is a great man and an uncle who is a great man; …

Period Problems

Ladies. Period Problems, we all have them. Here is one of my experiences: So I started a new job today, well yesterday now, 15th August. My job title is receptionist, I was sat at the front desk and low and behold mother nature hit. Always in the non-finest hour. I have nothing on me (Ladies, …
