Being present in the future
In this day and age, roughly 63% of the world population is on social media. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to 5.17 billion- 5.22 billion social media users.

Psst… It’s my birthday month
February is one of my favourite months of the year, and not just because it’s my birthday month. It’s a time when everybody can take a deep breath and blow away the January cobwebs. A month filled with so much love, a whole day is dedicated to expressing it, and also- if I hadn’t already mentioned- it’s my birthday month!

Being a woman in your twenties
Being a woman in your twenties. It’s a period of life that everyone experiences in their own unique way. Half of the people you know are settling down, in their houses with their partners. Whereas the other half are still using tinder as a joke, and coming in from nights out at the same time everybody else is waking up.

Is reading actually good for the brain?
I don’t consider myself to be someone who lives an extremely healthy lifestyle; I rarely get 10,000 steps in a day, I almost always have something sweet after dinner (and usually lunch too), and I regularly forget to do my skincare before bed.

It’s in the details
Journaling is something that has found it’s way in and out of my life over the last few years. It’s something that I have promised to make a daily ritual but has often just been left forgotten about.

It’s time to shop for Summer
I’m currently drinking possibly one of the strongest teas I have ever made, wrapped up in my cosiest fluffy pj’s, with fluffy socks that definitely don’t match, and all my candles are burning. It’s 9pm and I have just laid down after one of the busiest days at work. I’m about to turn over and allow my sleepy eyes the rest they rightly deserve, until that familiar theme tune begins to play, and every muscle in my body beams with excitement. It’s love island time.

Gym Talk- What are we wearing?
I have taken up running. Just on the treadmill in my local gym, as I haven’t braved running in the wild outdoors yet. But I have surprisingly come to enjoy it, not only because it makes me feel accomplished and good about myself, but it has allowed me to find my favourite thinking spot in the whole world.

A message to my younger self- Hey girl!
The Golden Globes Awards took place just a few days ago, and the red carpet featured a reunion I never knew I needed.
Actresses we looked up to as children on the big screen, and now we get that chance again. Looking up to them, now, as strong, independent women. Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Zendaya, stood that evening, all as award nominees.

A letter to those who find Christmas hard
Dear Readers,
I wanted to take a moment to reach out to those who may be struggling this festive season. It can be a challenging time for many, filled with mixed emotions, expectations and memories, making it feel quite overwhelming.

The Autumn/ Winter fashion trends everyone should fall for
The York Christmas Markets are my favourite place to be in December. The endless trail of stalls with offerings of scarves, candles, baked goods, and genuinely the nicest hot dog I may have ever had.
As I was smelling every gingerbread candle I could get my hands on (spoiler- I ended up buying one), eyeing up every brownie and cookie stall I could see (another spoiler- I got one of each), and oozing over the jewellery store that had the most gorgeous and unusual rings I’d ever seen (no spoiler this time they were too expensive), my attention was undoubtedly being pulled elsewhere.

The big and bouncy blow dry is back
I used to thrive in a slicked back hair style. I loved waking up a couple of sleeps after a wash day and feeling the readiness in my roots to be drawn back into a sleek style for the foreseeable.

Is a Chic Over on our 2025 cards?
Do you ever watch a film, and you are immediately inspired? An inspiration that lingers in your mind for days and intrudes on every choice you make for the foreseeable. Well… me too. I watched The Devil Wears Prada the other day for the millionth time (roughly), and now every single outfit I leave the house in is just never enough.
