Here's The Deal With Porn: Sex, Education & Reality
Here’s The Deal With Porn: Sex, Education & Reality
When you think about it, the fact that there’s an industry dedicated to watching other people have sex seems a little mad doesn’t it? But porn is a massive player in our current society and it’s been something that has caused many debates over the years. I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with porn. I’ll just put that out there right now. At the end of the day porn is just sex and…

Benefit Brow Bar Experience: Wax & Tint
Benefit Brow Bar Experience: Wax & Tint
In a couple of weeks I’ll be turning 21 and instead of tackling all of the proper issues that are going on within this time, like reevaluating my future, my ideals and relationships, I chose to get my eyebrows done professionally. Because I’m a woman now. I have only ever had my eyebrows done once before and that was through a friend. Other than that I have no experience with professional beauty…

Sexism, Exploitation and Memes
Sexism, Exploitation and Memes
I wonder how many memes there are on the internet? They’re something we all see pretty much every time we log onto a social media site. That black and white lettering that protests some sarcastic message has basically become iconic now and will forever be recognised. Memes are a way for people to rant, to express their opinions or just to make a joke in a quick and fashionable way and overall I…

My New Year’s Resolutions
Can you believe it’s 2017, man? It’s absolutely crazy but let’s try not to get too upset about how fast everything is going. Although I’m not a fan of New Years or the month of January as a whole, I’m trying to be positive and focus on the fact it’s a fresh start. Here are some of the things I want to achieve this year. Let’s say they’re more ‘goals’ then resolutions: Travel More I travelled more…

The Beauty Edit: Best Of 2016
The Beauty Edit: Best Of 2016
I haven’t done a beauty post in a little while, but my love for makeup hasn’t subsided any in that time! Today I want to do a little round-up of some of my favourite products from 2016. These products may be ones I have tried for the first time this year and have loved or ones that I may have used before but for one reason or another stood out majorly in 2016. This might help you find some new…

Five Non-Fiction Books To Gift This Christmas
Five Non-Fiction Books To Gift This Christmas
Buying Christmas presents can be a real struggle. You want something that will be perfect, something you hope they’ll love and treasure for a long time. But also, let’s be real, without spending too much money. Books are such an under-rated gift I feel and are something that can be easily slept on. Okay they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but what better time to introduce someone to the joys of…

The Scrooge Guide: Reasons To be Happy This Festive Season
There’s no escaping Christmas now, no matter how hard you try. This is a wonderful time of the year but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. And I get that. Christmas can be a magical and fun time, if you celebrate it. But for some it’s just another month in the year. This post is for you. It’s also for you if you love Christmas, of course, because I’m guessing any mention of it has you practically…

I know I said this in my last monthly post (read here) but it’s just been another weird month. I think with the end of the year approaching, workload picking up and the general state of the world (*cough* Trump) it’s understandable that a lot of us are feeling a bit shit right now.
I’m, personally, really looking forward to the end of the semester and the end of the year. Although I hate New Years and January, I feel like we all need a chance to let off some steam over the Christmas and start afresh.
Although this month has been a bit poop and I’m still feeling weird about a lot of things (2016, man) I did some really cool things throughout November. These things, I noticed, helped me escape whatever was going on around me and although I want to share with you the events, because they really were cool, I also want to talk about escaping and looking after yourself too.
Bastille Concert
On Remeberence Sunday me and my brother went to see Bastille in Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena and they were phenomenal. Seriously. Bastille are a band that seem to always be there when I’m going through a weird or difficult time and I was so happy to find that my love for them hasn’t disappeared over the years.
The arena was bouncing and the guys were amazing. I’d totally recommend you guys give Bastille a listen, especially if you’re struggling to cope with what’s happening on the news right now. They sing about now and the struggles we’re all facing. Wild World is such a relatable album and sums up all our feelings on this year, basically.
Stand Out Tracks You Need To Hear: Fake It, The Currents, Warmth, Snakes .
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Stage
Attempting to be Janet
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a new love in my life. It’s something I’d seen in the past but didn’t really get. But now for some reason it’s become a great love of mine. In my university flat, there’s nothing we enjoy doing more than watching a version of this weird and wacky show together. And luckily we had a chance to see it this month!
It was hilarious, as expected, and brilliantly performed. It was basically a wonderful excuse to get dressed up and giggle like a schoolkid about sex. And there was something so wonderful going to see it so close to the shocking news in America as Rocky Horror is basically a celebration of all genders, sexualities and, well, species. Ha! It was the perfect escape and just a chance for us all to laugh about silly things.
If you haven’t seen Rocky Horror or have and just don’t get it, then I’d highly recommend you watch the BBC America’s 40th Anniversary Special (you can find it on YouTube). Seeing it live is a totally different experience and I’m sure you’ll love it.
Durham
This month I went home for a week which was so lovely. I’ve been feeling really homesick this semester, which is unusual for me, so it was so nice being back home and getting some TLC from my family.
While I was at home, me and my mam took a little day trip to Durham as, despite how close it is to where we live, we had never done that together. It was such a lovely day (as you can see in the pictures) and it was nice exploring somewhere new with my mam, who I don’t get to see much when I’m at university.
Going somewhere new and exploring was such a nice boost and made me feel like a completely different person. I know it did me and my mam the world of good being out of the house and having a little walk around. You don’t have to go far, but dedicate a day to explore and be outside. It’ll make you feel so much better, I promise.
So that was my November. This is kind of a different post for me and I’d love to hear your feedback on it! How was your month?
Speak soon,
Rachael.
Cool Things I Did In November (Alternatively Titled: How To Escape) I know I said this in my last monthly post (read here) but it's just been another weird month.

Mind Your Damn Business: A Discussion On Privacy by a Nosy Journalism Student
Mind Your Damn Business: A Discussion On Privacy by a Nosy Journalism Student
I haven’t even started this post yet but I already know it’s going to have no structure and no clear point. Apologies. But this is a topic I really want to talk about and something that I’ve been thinking about recently for various different reasons. I am currently in my last year of a Journalism degree, which means for the past two years I have been taught how to be more curious, how to be ask…

Things I've Been Loving: October
Things I’ve Been Loving: October
October was a frigging long month wasn’t it? Unlike previous months, which seemed to fly by, I thought it would never end. Now winter is basically here, Christmas is coming and we can all breathe a sigh of relief that this weird year is coming to a close. October was an odd month for me and not a particularly good one, but these little things made me happy throughout so I though I’d share them…

What Is Self Care Anyway?
What Is Self Care Anyway?
Following Mental Health Day this week (Monday 10th October, FYI) I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole ‘self-care’ thing. It’s become somewhat of a trend on social media and we’re often surrounded by images of Lush products and bubble baths. Which of course is a part of it, but it isn’t always pretty and so Instagramable. We all have a metal health just as we have a physical health. It just…

Becoming Unstuck: How To Get Out of A Rut
It’s so easy to get stuck into a rut and feel like there is no way out. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, being ‘stuck in a rut’ describes those times when you feel like you’re trapped. When things aren’t going quite as you’d like but you can’t find any way to resolve that. This is kind of how I’m feeling right now and I know I’m not alone. Although it seems like everyone and their…

Four Small Things I'm Loving Right Now
Four Small Things I’m Loving Right Now
Things have been a bit odd for me these past few weeks. I moved back into university accommodation and have just started the final year of my degree (*que hysterical shrieking*). Most of my time is now spent trying to settle back into a normal routine and getting stuck into work. So when there’s lots of things going on in my life, I try to focus some attention on the little things that I enjoy on…
