Gemini



I did say I was going to start to post some more creative work on here. I feel a bit nervous when it comes to publishing poetry or fiction because I really want to be good at it. It is a bit strange that I feel like that because my degree is in Creative Writing so you'd think I'd have a bit more confidence in myself. I am pretty proud of this one though.

Starting 2018 & Ending My Quarter Life Crisis (hopefully)

Don't worry - this is not going to be some 'new year, new me' bullshit. We're in February now so I kind of feel like I've missed the boat on this one but I'm starting this blog up again and this seems to be a good way to kick it off. I graduated almost two years ago now and as soon as I finished uni I dove headfirst in to my quarter life crisis. I've been treading water in here ever since, occasionally very nearly drowning in a few too many beers. My overall goal in 2018 is to become a proper grown up and find my way out of this god awful stage of my life. Below are some things I plan to do, that I pray will make my life less tragic. 1. Escape my hometown. Moving back was just as awful as I expected, but it had to be done. For me the hardest part of coming back is knowing that the majority of my friends are still in Sheffield, where I went to university. Even though I'm not back with my parents it still feels like it has stripped me of my inde

Froconut by EllyJoy X Cocoa Mester

Coconut and chocolate bundled up an a super hipster, Instgram perfect package- whats not to love? Cocoa Mester and Froconut teamed up and like any other trendy event in Sheffield, it was hosted in S3. Cocoa Mester permanently have a store in Krynkl down at Shalesmoor which is where this was held. Krynkl itself is really bloody cool, if you've never heard of it you should definitely check it out. It is a bunch of re purposed storage containers and they've been turned in to a restaurant, yoga studio and rooftop bar- but back to the point of this post... There were three different flavours to choose from all of which sounded delicious. I opted for Persian  Petal because the rose petals sparked my interested, they kind of tasted like Turkish Delight, it was amazing. The froconut itself is kind of like a coconutty, vegan Mr Whippy. The coconut that it was served in can be repurpused which I'm all about., you can dry it out and use it as a bowl. Elly

A Bride To Be, On Body Image

Apparently getting engaged is an open invitation for people to comment on your appearance. I think we can all agree that asking someone if they think that they 'need to go on a diet' is rude. It implies that you think that they need to lose some weight. However for some reason people think it is an appropriate question to ask when you're planning a wedding (it's not). I hadn't realised how getting married can put so much pressure on you to look your best. Obviously I knew I wanted to look and feel good on the day and have some nice pictures, but other than that it wasn't something I was obsessing over- until everyone else was. And the thing that kick started it all was my first bridal appointment...
