Mental health issues make it super hard to look after myself. I try to batch cook when I'm feeling well, but the best trick I've learned is a sheet pan meal. All I have to do is chuck veg and some meat on a tray, some spices and seasoning, then bake for however long it's needed. Sometimes… Read More

The one that always sticks with me is from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - "I learned that anyone can withstand just about anything for 10 seconds, and when that 10 seconds is up, you start on a new 10 seconds". I can relate so much, and it's got me through some tough stuff.

Bigger isn't always better. My first sex toy was a girthy rabbit and it was actually way too cumbersome to use and not very enjoyable - so much so that I threw it away after a year of not using it. My small bullet vibe is my most-used sex toy now!

I made this sweet potato pizza for a Slimming World dinner. Ridiculously yummy, and all my own recipe. Base: Sweet potato (1 med/large) 1 egg Sauce: Punnet cherry tomatoes (I used sweet plum) 1/2 onion Squeeze tomato puree Mixed herbs, S&P… Read More

A rumour went round our A-level class that a girl had been fingered by her boyfriend during art class, in the art classroom. There was one stool we all studiously avoided sitting on...

I spent years avoiding drugs because of the stigma attached to them. Eventually I learned to accept that there was a genuine chemical imbalance in my brain and I was just as entitled to take medication as someone who had the flu, or a chest infection. My medication doesn't make things… Read More

I'm sorry, but where the f**k was ROSKILLYS?!?!?
