I have been graced with many friends throughout my twenty one years. From primary school to university, I have been fortunate enough to meet some of the most extraordinary, amazing people in my life. At school I met the girls that remain some of my best friends, and although I do not see them every day, I know they are…
I have gained all of my internships through hard work, determination and sheer tenacity. I knew absolutely no one in the media world who could hand me an internship on a plate. I went to a state all-girls grammar school and contrary to popular belief, I found them incredibly easy to secure. Why are internships important? Not only does an…
I find it incredible how much people (myself included) are willing to put up with when it comes to certain people.

Seeing my best friends every day From my best girlfriends, to my course mates and housemates,…
So I’m sitting on the train heading back home to my parents’, in order to pop into London for a job interview and it hit me. Hard. In less than two months’ time, I will have finished university. The bubble that is my lovely current home town, Aberystwyth will have burst. I will no longer see my Welsh best friends…
When I first found out that Poundland had produced its own makeup range, I was snobbishly unimpressed. However, after popping into the store and seeing the collection, I thought ‘what if these products are just as good as my go-to makeup collections?’ The average woman in Britain ends up forking out over £130 a year on makeup, so this could…
In the UK alone, more than 3.5 million women regularly rely on the contraceptive pill. Of course for the majority of these women, there’s no problem, they can happily take it and continue their lives as before.
