Grandparents’ Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of October, this year being 3rd. It isn’t a holiday that is celebrated much in the UK as it has only been an official holiday since 2008. Nevertheless, this is a great day to appreciate and have your grandparents in your memory if not by your side, a holiday that should be celebrated more often! Grandparents are so important for all of us to keep grounded, feel true care and love from and tell us all the crazy stories of their lifetime. For many of us, we wouldn’t be the people we…

Demigender. It used to be a strange concept to me; not identifying with a single gender or an absence thereof. A disconnect from biological sex sometimes without dysphoria (a state of dissatisfaction or unease). But then again, my own gender has always seemed untouchable, a locked box in the back of my mind, rejected for fear of the unknown.I’m 24, and all my life I have identified as a cis woman. I was born female, and up until recently that is what I thought I was. Dysphoria is no stranger to me as I suffer with body dysmorphia and have…

Like many singletons, I have spent a disproportionate amount of time during the pandemic on Tinder. I’m not going to pretend I’m proud of that fact, but it’s my reality. I’m not unsatisfied with my dating life, I was simply bored. Day in, day out of only getting up off the sofa to walk the dog or a quasi-clandestine trip to Tesco Express got old after the first week. At the time, I was a supply teacher’s assistant, so I was immediately furloughed and my teeny tiny social life disappeared overnight. So I loaded up Tinder. As did so many…

My depression didn’t go away. It’s a fact I live with every single day, from the moment I crack my eyelids open to face the screaming dog that’s been sitting on my chest salivating for the last three hours, to when I finally pass out in the wee hours of the morning after playing Skyrim until I’m too tired to think. I’m not unhappy. No, a little white pill every evening took care of that. Sometimes it’s lavender in colour, or slightly squat, and I chuckle to myself because it’s almost as if the manufacturers are trying to cheer me…

Dating is hard, right? Yes! But here is a little list to help you create that special date for that special someone. 1. It’s not cliché, it’s a classic; a cute walk in the park if it’s a nice day and maybe a romantic dinner to finish a perfect evening. 2. Go all in and create the perfect setting. Try stargazing for the comfort of the car with blankets, snacks, music and laughs. 3. Options are a given but want to keep it relaxed? Why not try a rooftop bar with a good atmosphere and food options of course. 4.…
