Ugly Society

Hey Earthbugs, Today I want to touch on recent on goings in the media and the uproar they’ve cause. If you have Twitter you may have seen the entertainment (I say that in the loosest term as I wouldn’t particularly call dragging women down to be entertainment, but we’ll continue) magazine “Now magazine” branding Stacey Solomon as “boring”, “desperate” and “cheap”. This has come to light because Stacey fought back against the horrible words that were written about her, this was a front-page story and surrounding the images of her were other headlines that read “I wanted a bum like Kim – 85k surgery” and “revenge bodies”. For me, when I think of Stacey Solomon I think of an amazing woman who works hard to share body positivity an obvious example would be her recent Instagram post of her in a bikini with the caption “Loving my extra fold over tummy lines this year”, a woman who shares positivity in everything she does and keeps it real. She’s the kind of person you want to b

Little Changes

Hello Earthbugs, I thought I would write a post today about the little changes that I'm making in life to help me enjoy what I'm doing more, be more productive and be a bit healthier. By writing this post now it gives me a few months to continue with what I'm doing and then I'm going to review it at the beginning of 2019, that is a little bit scary to say because it really isn't that far away.  It's a bit mad how I only really have one month left of being off before I return to university for second year, I had this huge to do list of things that I wanted to do before then and it's safe to say, that's been blown out the window. Instead I'm just going to continue making little changes when I feel necessary and not limit it to a strict timescale.  One thing I have set myself a time limit on though is to sort my room out before I go back to uni and declutter and get rid of clothes (to buy more obviously) and make sure I have all my big jumpers rea

You are your own home

Hey Earthbugs, The title may seem a bit odd and not really stuff that I'd usually touch on but I saw this image on Pinterest with the quotation "you are your own home". Before I get started with this post I would like to point out that the picture I am going to include is not my own and I'm unfortunately unsure who to give credit to, I just loved it and had many thoughts about it. So, pop that kettle on and let's get started with the deep stuff.  Home. What is home?  Google describes home as being "the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household". I think I disagree, when I moved into the house I currently live in with my parents I was very close to turning 8 years old and for a very long time it didn't feel like home. I wasn't sure why, I didn't hate it at the new house or anything like that but for some reason, home was the old house. I'd spent most of my life there, made lots of memories t

To Hull and Back (The Deep Review)

Hey Earthbugs, A few days ago I went to Hull and back, we did only visit the Deep but I did want to use that reference in a blog post about Hull. If you don't recognise the reference then it is the title of an Only Fools and Horses episode, and very funny it is too. I thought I'd do a little review on the Deep because I absolutely loved it and had a really good time, the journey was only about an hour as well so it was a win win really.  I purchased tickets online before we went to get a little bit of a discount, gotta save money where you can, so when we arrived we joined the main queue to the entrance and soon enough we were looking around the exhibition. We also had the slight advantage of queue jumping a little bit on the way into the exhibition because there were several people queuing for the lift with pushchairs etc so we hopped up the stairs. Which I regretted by the time we were at the top and I felt like collapsing on the floor. ANYWAY...  As soon as you walk in
