Hi Eve, I’ve had one of those mad realisations that you see in the movies. When the girl is in front of the boy she’s known forever as a friend and realises that, actually, she is meant to be with him. There was always bad timing – one of us or the other would be in relationships. Neither of…
So it’s nearly time to say goodbye to 2017, look back on the past year and, thankfully, move on to the new, fresh, clean slate that is 2018. Last year, in What 2016 Has Taught Me, I wrote that I’d had a year full of mistakes, achievements, hard decisions and sun-beaming-out-heart moments. That I had been graced with opportunity and…
It’s the dirty thought that counts… It’s the holiday season and what’s better for the single lady, or cosied up couple than adding a bit of spice to your cold, cold winter nights? If you’re a man struggling for gift ideas, or fancy treating yourself to the best gift a girl can get (infinite, unadulterated pleasure, duh!) then look no…
Let your imagination run wild and watch your relationship blossom with each new LoveDrop box… I’ve been super busy lately, working hard, blogging lots, exploring new ventures and sorting out everything on the run-up to Christmas! However, in the midst of this madness, I was lucky enough to be introduced to LoveDrop and the super lovely team behind it. What…
Since the age of 15, I’ve jumped from relationship to relationship. When I did have gaps, it wasn’t for very long (a year maximum), and even then I would be seeing people casually. I’ve had 3 serious relationships thus far in my short life, and one in particular was, in the end, a very unhappy one. In hindsight, or to…
Dear Never Settle, I feel stuck. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I feel like I’m giving my all to my relationship, I put my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t feel like I’m getting the same in return. It’s made me really irrational and insecure – which only makes me more irritated because that’s…
London in the winter is one of the most beautiful places: the buildings glow white against the cold white clouds and the crisp chill in the air means we have the perfect excuse to wrap up all snuggly, wandering the city in awe of the lights and attractions. Christmas is an incredibly romantic time, so what’s better than having a…
What is the key to being happy? It’s a question with a highly sought after answer. New data published last week from Dr. Tchiki Davis revealed that positive self-views (which emerge from self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-worth, among other things) was the best predictor of happiness. So why is thinking positively about ourselves such a massive component in our happiness, when there are so many other contributing factors,…
I had reason to believe something odd was happening. My girlfriend of nearly three years had started hanging around with a new guy friend and messaging him a lot. A little too much. When she went on nights out she stayed at his house, instead of with a number of the girl friends she had, or even me. We lived…
Along your dating travels, you may have come across a few not-so-great characters: they may have messed you around, cheated or not made it clear where you stand with them. However, possibly the worst person you can get involved with, is a habitual, pathological liar. Someone who twists the truth and leaves YOU feeling like the one with the problem. …
As winter descends and gloomy, cold nights draw in, the search for a Christmas-time lover begins. Sadly, cuffing isn’t a kinky new sex trend – although it does sound like one. Cuffing season is the term used to describe the period during autumn and winter months in which avid singletons find themselves seeking to be “cuffed” or “tied down” by a serious…
So I’m feeling pretty low on the self-love at the moment. It’s super easy when you’re confidence is knocked a few times to beat yourself up, forget all the positive parts of your life, and get caught up in a thick web of negativity inside your head. But it is SO important to remain positive and stay strong. When life gives…
Think back to the last argument you had in a relationship. It may have been last month, last week, yesterday, You may have never experienced an argument at all. However, if you have, there is one underlying reason behind all heated conversations and angry exchanges. When you lash out at each other, there is always one, subconscious answer for it,…
It’s the age of the six-second attention span, and grass is always greener attitude. It’s the era where you have a 50% chance of a divorce after marriage, and cheating is so normalised and rife, that most of us millennials and centennials inherently develop some kind of insecurity complex. Question is, is it possible in the 21st Century to have…
Most of us have a love/hate relationship when it comes to dating apps. They can be exciting and novel when you first get them: your hopes and expectations are high, and best of all, it can be really fun! But very soon, your interest wavers, you get weird messages from weird people, and your thumb tires from continuously swiping left,…
No one is born with a guard up. Walls are built when you’ve loved openly, with your heart on your sleeve, given free love unconditionally, and ended up being really hurt. Over time, through heartbreaks, rejections and trusts shattered, a subconscious, but very real guard can be put up. It wasn’t deliberate, it wasn’t instant, just completely natural when you’re trying…
Do you know what one of the most unique and misunderstood organs in the human body is? The clitoris. Oooh there I said it. Clitoris. It’s the source of so much pleasure, but golly gosh, we just don’t like talking about it, do we? It’s naughty. It’s weird. It’s… gross? OR It’s inherently linked to the one dirty little secret…
Breaking up is so difficult. It can be really hard if you’re the one instigating it, and even harder if you’re receiving the news. There are a variety of circumstances leading up to a breakup: cheating, falling out of love, acting on a deal breaker, personal issues, difference of opinion or moving apart are just a few. How do you…
It’s World Mental Health Day 2017, and it’s time to talk and educate people about what it is, how it affects people differently, and why it’s so important to rid mental health of it’s stigma. I have to start by saying that frankly, mental health is a taboo subject. I write about my own mental health, my anxiety and my…
The heart-rending split second when you find out your ex has moved on with someone new. Whether they’re dating, sleeping with, or in a full on relationship with someone else, the pain of knowing that it’s really over can be excruciating. Part of that pain is not being able to understand how they’re able to move on so quickly. How can…
