#36 Why TALA keeps appearing in my bank statements

The other day, my sister demanded to know what I was doing, in order to work out if she could join in or not (she was very bored). “I’m getting ready to snap up some items in the next Tala launch,” I said, matter-of-factly. She gave me an unapproving look and then rolled her eyes.

#35 What’s the dress code for a worldwide pandemic?

After what has seemed like an endless waiting time in the queue for a pint and a haircut, the Prime Minister’s announcement that the hospitality industry will now be able to reopen, has shone through the U.K., brighter than our current heatwave, like a big light at the end of the tunnel. This includes the

#34 Mental Health: the stigma

TW: Mental health Last month involved Mental Health Awareness Week, hosted by the Mental Health Foundation. Hundreds of thousands went online to increase the awareness, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit angry, after seeing some celebrities, microinfluencers and some friends on social media post about it. What annoyed me was how loosely and

#33 Black Lives Matter

By now, you should be aware of the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent rioting and protesting. Most of you will also be aware of how important it is to be anti-racist. Unfortunately though, racism is still very much alive in the U.K., not just the U.S., which is why I’m writing this blog

#32 Google, did you know…?

Yep. The answer is yes. Because Google knows everything. During lockdown, I’ve been trying to listen to one podcast per day from Today In Focus, by The Guardian. I would highly recommend them – they discuss random but important issues like where our recycling really goes, and the horrors of what Jeffrey Epstein did. But

#31 Meet my BFF – Hygiene

Aside from it being not the most ideal word to spell, hygiene to me is one of the sexiest motherfuckers in town. It turns me on like the sex scenes in Normal People (BBC). And what better time than in a worldwide pandemic to rave about hygiene? Allow me to list just some (and only

#30 Birthday Celebrations: Lockdown Edition

After a month off of writing articles for the uni newspaper, I thought I better get my ass in gear again. Jumping onto the Life&Style section, the issue of having a birthday in lockdown stands out to me, because A) my birthday is coming up this month (YASSS) and B) I’m here to tell you

#29 Reflection: The Lockdown Experience

Hi bitches, me again. Yep, it’ll be a month tomorrow since my last post – I haven’t done so in a while. Although Boris didn’t put a lockdown on publishing blog posts, let’s just pretend he did, because I have no other valid excuse as to why I haven’t written any blogs. For me, lockdown

#28 I Don’t Know How To Title This

Hello, bitches. Guess what. I’ve given up on healthy eating for the 27th time? That’s not what I was going for, but you’d be right anyway. What I was going for, was the fact that, yet again, I have no idea what to write my next blog about. If I make it to #30, is

#27 The C Word: Coro*******

I have so far refused to add to the already mad amount of material in the world, concerning the coro*******. But, seeing as my Draft Blogs section is empty, and my ideas are running dry, here I am. With only brief mentions of the worldwide situation in my previous blogs, I’m now doing what I
