Do you read about how lockdown dating has led to a…
★★☆☆☆ – Great Brand Intentions But Some Ingredient Improvements Needed I was contemplating writing this review, and decided that my readers need to know all sides of the pleasure industry, the good, the misjudged and the ugly! Chatting to the Aura founders, and looking at the brand values, I was super excited to try their products. However when I received…
Hi Eve, My boyfriend of nearly 3 years cheated on me in March (pre-pandemic) He decided to do this the day I travelled to London for work to talk about a complaint that someone had raised against me (apparently my skirt was too short- it wasn’t). I’ve been cheated on in pretty much every relationship I’ve ever been in, so…
Hi Eve, I dated a guy for a month or so recently, we were Facebook friends for about 3 years as I met him at a festival. We were having a lovely time but I could tell he was very wary of emotional connection. After the 3rd time I saw him texts became less and less and eventually he ghosted…
2020 has been possibly the most disruptive, anxiety-inducing and confusing year for pretty much all of us. Collectively as a planet, we’ve had to face the most intrusively affecting issue of our lifetime: a world-wide pandemic. But I don’t need to remind you of that!! We’ve been living it! I don’t know about you, but I feel almost daily like…
Over a period of two years (no pun intended), I’ve been researching female intimate products. What I’ve found is disturbing. Sanitary & hygiene products, condoms AND cheap sex toys are so unregulated that they are physically damaging women’s bodies, which can lead to infertility and cancer. It also begs the question: why is this information not readily available, and why…
Post written by Thomas Dockerill – The Nice Guy Writes They say that love will find you when you least expect it. I don’t know who ‘they’ are, but they’ve always annoyed me with their wise sayings. I’ve never really bought in to the notion of being surprised by love, and despite our grandparents and many from the older wartime generations telling…
I really can’t believe it. My little ole blog is a whole six years old! I thought I’d write a bit about my blogging journey, and include some things which maybe people don’t really know about me, the progress of Never Settle and my reasons behind why I started it. I think it’s quite interesting looking back and seeing how…
Whatever your age or gender, knowing your body and being aware of the symptoms of breast cancer is really important. It sounds a bit scary, but it’s really important to know that in the UK 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. And guys listen up, as around 400 men a year will be…
Hello Eve, I have recently gone through a bad break up and your break up posts are truly the way I feel right now… It was a long distance relationship for 4 years, but he broke up with me because I went too far with my anger and jealousy about some girls he was spending time with whilst doing sport…
Virtual dates, socially distanced meet-ups and more reliance on conversations and “getting to know each other”, welcome to the new world of dating during a pandemic. A coronavirus world in which the path to love is literally plagued – or is it? If you thought dating was complicated before, with ghosting, benching and all the other dating terminology we were…
Hello lovely readers! Well, what a year it’s been so far – who’d have thought a few months ago that we’d be living in such a historically significant moment (and no, surprisingly I’m not actually referring to Brexit). We find ourselves in a bubble of time which none of us have really experienced before – the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has…
Hi Eve, I’m coming to you, confused and in love. I would like to be head-over-heels but instead, I find myself constantly questioning my relationship with this guy… we’ll call him Tim. Tim and I have been dating for about four months now and I’ve been uncertain from the get-go. At first, he was so different from other guys I…

Knowing your worth is sometimes a lot harder than we realise. I’ve written about it before, years ago, but it will never become any less true. Now in 2020, it’s never been more important to not only to give yourself a little extra TLC, but also to value your own worth, and give yourself a chance to achieve everything you…
The immortal words which can only signal imminent doom, “We Need To Talk“. But don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s me... We’ve all likely heard it at some point or another. But readers, I need to talk to you openly and honestly. It’s been ages since I’ve written a post. It’s been even longer since I’ve written freely and about…
