This post is all about vape culture, including the advantages and disadvantages of vaping, and the impact of vaping on young people. I will include how vaping has become so mainstream and popular with Gen Z, the way in which vape shops profit by reaching new audiences and I will even mention how vaping can link to toxic masculinity! Also, I have left a link to my podcast on this topic at the bottom, so please feel free to check this out!

The Sad Girl
You know what sucks. Feeling upset, hurt or really just sad. Perhaps it has finally been made clear that the guy or girl who you were interested in did not really have the same feelings for you, perhaps you were unable to afford to see your favourite band play or perhaps one of your goodContinue reading “The Sad Girl”
The Male Gaze
Think about it. You are leaving the house for the first time today. You were happily cooped up in your room, wearing, I do not know, tracksuit bottoms or something, and chances are you do not have makeup on. Yet there are probably a few rituals which you abide by before you decide to finallyContinue reading “The Male Gaze”
Wellness Culture
It is Monday morning, and let us face it. You are already pretty exhausted, despite the weekend that has just passed which is meant to leave you feeling refreshed for the upcoming week.

Body Neutrality
Wherever you look as a young woman, what do you see. Oh, admire the talent of this person, this is how you become successful in the work place, and brand new art for you all to admire.

The Toxic Side to the Body Positivity Movement that no one wants to Discuss
Happy new year, and welcome to 2022. The time of year again where gyms, gym wear companies and, come on let us just bite the bullet here, really anything relating to diet culture, can look forward to making money off people.

Why you don’t have to be “That Girl”
Imagine this. You are in your late teens/early twenties, and for the first time in forever, you have a little bit of time for yourself. You may not know it, but you really do value this time. However, you do not have the energy or motivation to go for a walk, pick up a book or paint.Continue reading “Why you don’t have to be “That Girl””
Why Diet Culture is so Damaging!
Perhaps people of all shapes and sizes pop into your head when you think about a “healthy” person. They’re reasonably happy, they eat a balanced diet, don’t drink (too) much alcohol and they probably have a fairly active lifestyle. Alternatively however, we may subconsciously think of someone who is quite small. Or should I sayContinue reading “Why Diet Culture is so Damaging!”
The “Anti-Vaccers”
Over Covid, we have heard a lot about the anti vax “movement”. From those speaking about microchips, 5G and those who oppose the whole idea of lockdowns. I expect David Icke may come to many of your minds, but read more to find out what is really fuelling this movement.
Internet Escapism
It is not too surprising that escapism is going to be on the rise, and I expect we are all too aware of the dangers of gambling, addiction and other escapist behaviors. But have you thought about how this may look on the internet; from something as innocent to animal crossing to online gambling sites, maybe we ought to be more aware of the dangers…
