I was reading an interesting article earlier this week about Millennial Burnout. If I’m honest, it isn’t something I’d heard much about before. On first glance, it may just sound like another excuse. A reason to dwell or simply admit that perhaps that’s why things aren’t working out or going to plan. First discussed by...

I was talking to my colleague the other day, who just so happens to work in social media, and the topic of Instagram inevitably came up. It’s no secret that the success of this app lies largely in nosiness. We love to see inside the lives of others, don’t we? The rise of ‘interior instagrammers’...

They say, don’t they, that a tidy house equals a tidy mind. There is certainly some truth in this, for the majority at least.

As I get older the more I want to make stuff: small stuff, big stuff, home stuff, clothes stuff, pointless stuff, just stuff. Not that I’m any good at it and my patience usually only allows me to complete half a project at a time (something I’m working on) but the list of ‘stuff’ to...

While the rest of the office indulges their OCD (obsessive Christmas disorder) tendencies; baking untold quantities of gingerbread men and searching Spotify for the best crimbo compilation, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to shake my grinch like slump.
