“You’re so quiet” “You’re so shy!” “Can you just say something?” “Is something wrong?Are you alright?” I heard these countless times. While you may think being called shy or quiet is a good thing. Perhaps even a compliment. To me it was as if someone was telling me how ugly I am, how fat I am. You’re so quiet. You’re…
I first began to read poetry in school. Well actually if you count nursery rhymes as a sort of poetry then perhaps I’ve been reading it my whole life. In school though I’ve come across poems that I love, that I found a deep connection with, even though the writer is a stranger to me, somehow their words speak sense.…
Now I know the world believes it is May, but let’s say for the sake of this post that it is still April ( and so that I don’t have to re-edit the above image). I was technically supposed to have these reviews written and published in March but you know me, I am a total disarray of a blogger.…

Last Wednesday was International Women’s day. Women, Men and Children marched on the streets all over the world. It was a day where many women striked in protest to the economic inequality, prejudice and insecurity faced by women in the workplace. In Ireland there was also a focus on striking to repeal the 8th ( if you want to know…
I know what you’re thinking. Yes, it is March. And yes, I know that Valentine’s was in February.But even though this cake is a Valentine’s themed cake, it is still cake! And it is ALWAYS time for cake. I actually made this and had a little photoshoot a year ago. But I didn’t post it because 14th February had come…
Happy V-Day to all the men, women and and other genders out there. The ‘V’ in this case stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina. Upon stumbling across Emma Watson’s instagram page at the start of the new year, I found myself joining her online book club. The book of the month happened to be The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler.…
Art Journaling is one of my favourite hobbies. It’s creative and fun. I love how there is no right or wrong way to make art. I’ve been keeping this journal for over a year now. On each page I like to have a theme or quote. Usually something inspirational and motivational. The journal I use is a black leather back…
I’ll Give you the Sun It’s taken me quite a while to find the words to write this review. And sadly I’m afraid I still have not found them. You see to some this book may be just another YA about love, pain and general life struggles but to me turning the pages was like walking through a secret garden…
