What Are You?

“What are you?” “I thought you were a white girl.” “Do you even celebrate Christmas?” “Paki isn’t even offensive, it doesn’t mean anything.” “What’s that growing under your neck?” I was never comfortable with my name. In college, I decided I wanted everyone to refer to me as “Kayla” and since then, I am […]

A Challenge To You | Blogtober Day 16

This is the end. At day 16, I unfortunately have to end my Blogtober journey. It’s been super fun, engaging and I’m so glad I’ve discovered some amazing new bloggers. Unfortunately, writing the stuff that I write sometimes does take a toll on me. I love being open and honest and discussing important things, but […]

My Biggest Fear Is Loneliness | Guest Post By Laura

Happy Blogtober Day 15! Today I am honoured to share with you a blog post by one of my most favourite people on the platform, Laura, aka LavraxLondon. She is one of the earliest supporters of my anti-blogtober series and it’s amazing that in that year, we’ve become friends outside of blogging too! This is […]

Finding Your Own Voice (2018) | Blogtober Day 14

This is a post that I wrote for Blogtober 2018. I stumbled upon it when looking for inspiration for this blogtober and realised I never posted it. So, I thought I’d post it now, as something that still holds truth but is a sort of time capsule for my blog in it’s first month of […]

Get Off Social Media: A Rant | Blogtober Day 13

If you physically can’t put your phone down for an hour… honey, you have a problem. Don’t you worry too much, because I do too. I’m a weird mix of socially aware about my engagement to social media, however in denial and stubborn and can’t seem to get enough. It’s an addiction. And with all […]

Hello, I Struggle Sometimes | Blogtober Day 11

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day. I found it really ironic, because these last couple days I’ve been in a really bad place. I love talking and opening up on here, but sometimes, when I’m going through a bad period anyway, writing a post about depression can really ignite the dark days inside of me. […]

Is Post-Grad Depression Real? | Blogtober Day 9

I graduated from university on June 25th, 2019. Around this time, I was a mixture of emotions. I was happy, excited, scared, proud but most of all, I felt this dark sadness looming in the back of my mind. I felt it for weeks leading up to my graduation, but I thought it was due […]

Let’s Talk About Ariana Grande’s Skin Colour | Blogtober Day 8

These images have been circulating around social media for the last year. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding them, especially regarding Ariana’s dramatic change of skin colour. However, there’s been a lot of discussion on whether they have been edited further, to make her skin tone noticeably darker. Fake or not, these images […]

Why We Need To Take Influencers More Seriously | Blogtober Day 7

Influencer this, influencer that. I know, we’re all tired of the word influencer. This new job title has sprung into the universe and as all things new, most people are struggling to understand the concept. It was like when YouTube was created and we were first hearing the word “YouTuber”. No one took it seriously, […]
