Ridding our bodies of every inch of hair – sans our heads and eyebrows – is now a generic part of modern day personal upkeep.

Some of you will remember me from my travel posts last year. I spent the early part of 2015 venturing around India and South East Asia with my boyfriend and had the time of my life. Having been home exactly a year this month, I have had time to reflect on my trip and one...

They say that it’s the most important meal of the day and that the failure to eat a good hearty breakfast is failure to fuel your body for the day ahead. But there is no meal harder for me to stomach than breakfast. Waking up, jumping out of bed and chowing down is my idea...

For me there is nothing better than going out to eat, whether it’s for brunch with my girlfriends on a lazy Sunday morning or a date night somewhere fancy with my significant other.
