Dignity, Always Dignity | Keeping your Dignity After a Breakup
Dignity- Always dignity. It’s a line from one of my fave movies Singin’ in the Rain. It’s a funny quote because the character Don Lockwood (played by Gene Kelly) is a comedian who has to do the most undignified things in order to earn a wage: he has cream pies thrown in his face, he […]
When Does Sadness Become Depression?
I just got nothing today. Nothing at all. This is not a post about writer’s block, this is a post about emptiness. I feel like life has lost its lustre, but I can’t be too despondent here because I don’t want to cry. I want to be positive. It’s really hard to keep looking on […]
How Long Does it Take to Get Over a Break Up?
I have been avoiding a break up for the past ten years. Basically I never got over my very first love, who I split with by the time I was only 22. Since then I have had several long-term relationships, but I always kept my partners at arm’s length. I had a five year relationship […]
Taking Charge of My Life by Telling Myself a Better “Personal-Story”
I have been having trouble with some negative self talk lately, and it’s getting out of hand. I have discussed this problem on my blog before, but I am finding this a constant struggle.

What Makes a Man Hot? The Definitive List
Men. Blokes. Dudes. Bros. I love ‘em and I hate ‘em… but mostly I find them irresistible, provided they play by my rules (ok this has never happened to date, but I remain staunchly optimistic!). Recently, I uncovered an old diary where I listed what I find attractive and unattractive in a man, and since […]
What’s Wrong with My Body? The Parts I Love and Hate
I thought it was high time I blogged about my boobs again. My posts on my breasts have been among the most popular on my site, which doesn’t surprise me as my boobs have always been popular in general. I am a straight woman, but I have to admit that I love breasts. All in […]
How to Let Go: of People and Things
Letting go: It’s hard isn’t it? As humans we have a tendency to hold onto things, particularly things we think we need.

Bad Manners: The 7 Worst Mistakes You’re Making

Men with Beards: Why I Love ‘Em!
Beards, they are everywhere at the moment. Do you love them? Loathe them? Do you have one? I personally have always loved facial hair, from sideburns to moustaches to full beards and mutton chops, I’m a massive fan of unruly man-hair. I’m not really sure why – I think it’s probably because I am not […]
How Many People Have You Slept With? Here’s the Number You Should Give.
This one seems to crop up quite a bit, and it shouldn’t. Like asking a woman’s age, or a man’s penis size, there are certain questions which are just plain rude. Yes, I have been asked the question a few times, and I no qualms about not telling the truth with this particular information request […]
How I Plan to “Date” Myself : Getting Used to My Own Company Again
I’ve got no idea who I really am. Of course, that sounds absurd; if I don’t know myself, then who possibly can? Aren’t I the one in charge of dressing myself, choosing my food, putting myself to bed and getting myself to work? So how can it be that I totally don’t know myself at all? I have […]

The term “Alpha” started to appear in the media a few years back to define those people that take control of a room effortlessly; those people who seem to have the command of others’ attention, those people who seem to get the best jobs, the best lovers, the greatest opportunities. Where does the term come […]
