My latest article for Eat More Cake

10:31
Hello! Just thought I'd post a link to the latest article I've written for Eat More Cake, as I've had quite a bit of positive feedback from it, which was both unexpected and quite exciting! So, if you'd like to read the article I wrote in response to this piece about the rise of size 000 in Grazia, then please click here :) I worry that this topic...

The Writing Process Blog Tour

17:00
So, I was asked to do The Writing Process Blog Tour by Lorna Holland on Twitter (@themaxdog)- thank you! You can find her responses on her blog here. If I'm honest, when Lorna asked me, I had no idea what she was talking about and had to turn to good old Google to enlighten myself. Once I'd done this however, I was pleased to...

The BBC Top 100 Books- Brave New World

09:39
So a couple of days ago, I wrote a post explaining that I've challenged myself to read all of the BBC's top 100 books (minus a few) by the time I go and study English Lit at university.  A few days on and I have finished Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley- hurrah! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially...

MyStudentStyle book review- 'The Storyteller' by Jodi Picoult

12:42
I just thought I'd write a quick post to nudge you (lovingly, of course) in the direction of the book review I wrote for MyStudentStyle.  This book will probably be the last so-called 'light-read' that I get to enjoy for a while (see blog post below) and I'd thoroughly recommend it! To find out why, please click here (and you will magically be transported elsewhere). Harriet...

(A variation of) The BBC Top 100 Books List- My Challenge

09:46
Right, if I'm want to study English Literature at university in a few years time, I think I need to get my act together and become a little more 'well read'.  When I saw a list similar to this on another blog, I arrogantly thought to myself "Pfft, I bet I've read most of them". Let's just say I was swiftly removed from...

I've still been writing, I promise!

12:46
Before anyone gives up on me and decides that I must have lost interest in this whole writing lark, I'd just like to gently point you in the direction of the various articles that I've been busy on over the last couple of weeks! Here are the links to the pieces I've had published on Kettle Mag- Are You a Victim of The Conveyor...

3 Awesome Websites I Found On Twitter

20:45
I just thought I'd share a few of the great websites that have been brought to my attention through the wonderful (if a little distracting) medium that is Twitter- Eat More Cake is an exciting new online magazine that I recently stumbled upon while I was aimlessly scrolling through my Twitter feed.  Whether you simply want to check out the articles, or maybe try...

Is this your idea of a healthy relationship with food?

10:32
As I was scrolling through (and largely ignoring) the articles on the Daily Mail Online app this morning, this one particularly caught my eye. Of course, this is by no means the first product to be launched as a 'zero calorie' alternative, but the fact that this isn't even food seems to take things one step further.  Diet foods vs zero calorie 'foods' Don't get...

My Day of Great Adventure

11:48
A train journey from St Albans to Kingston. No big deal, nothing out of the ordinary, right? Probably not, for the average eighteen year-old; but for me, this was a big day. This would be the first time I went into London on my own and the first time I planned a journey for myself. A few months ago, when I was struggling...
