We have all heard it a million times before – cut back on plastic. And really, when you do pay attention to the world, it’s amazing to see how much we really do rely on the stuff. It’s not surprising of course, it is undoubtedly useful and if plastic production was ever to stop, we’d have a bit of a task thinking of substitutions. Continue reading

It’s that time of year again where everyone is counting down for the new one to start. While I try not to wish my life away, I do love a new year. It’s time for self-reflection, learning from the past and moving forward for the future.

Happiness is something I’ve thought about a lot lately. After a tough couple of months (read about it here), I can honestly say that I am – with every fibre of my being – happy. A blissful, light, singing along to the radio at the top of my lungs, sun on my skin, kind of happy.

I don’t even have answers for myself. Lastly, this is not an anti-contraception rant. If anything, I’m envious of those who can take contraception without any negative side effects.
