I first started doing yoga when I was studying and working full time, because I needed an outlet to help my mind and body relax. When a friend took me along to a yoga class, I was really nervous – I was a beginner, I was fat and I’d never done yoga before. What if I couldn’t contort my body into the amazing poses I saw people doing? What if I was clumsy when everyone else was graceful? What if people stared at me? View Post
TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE
If you’re paying attention on Twitter this week, you may have noticed something called #MyBodyMyTerms. It’s a campaign that I’m really proud to be part of, that aims to start conversations about sexuality, revenge porn, victim-blaming and rape culture.

I don’t know about you, but when the weather turns chilly I find myself becoming so unmotivated. I actually wish that we could hibernate when it gets cold. Unfortunately I am a human and not a squirrel, so I’ve decided that I’ll use my time much more productively. Inspired by the 100 Happy Days challenge, Give It 100, and the 100 Days Project, I’m setting myself a 100 day challenge starting on the 1st of May, and I’d like you to join me.
