On Wednesday I had to be weighed and my height measured. Before I had an appointment about my STOMACH. Not confusing at all. I must admit, my hackles did raise. I make a solid point of NEVER WEIGHING myself. My mum hid the scales in my family home MANNNNYYY YEARS ago. And I don’t have…

What DIET CULTURE actually does to your body… – Plum and Hazelnut Overnight Oats
Today I have a hospital appointment. It’s not for my mental health. It’s for my stomach. I was diagnosed with IBS as a young teenager. But anorexia and the destructive habits I engaged in (diet pills and laxatives to name a few) have only made it worse. Recently I shared on my Instagram stories, the…
It’s not YOU, it’s your CLOTHES – Hot Cross Bun Overnight Oats
I’ve gained weight! And it’s seriously not an issue. Contrary to popular belief, I’ve gained weight and it’s a HELLA GOOD THING. For the first time in my adult life I have been eating 3 proper meals a day and snacks in between. Oh my gosh, like a normal human being, really? Revolutionary! I’ve been…
Go BRAVELY – Mexican Chilli Chocolate Zoats
I have a frame that sits on my windowsill. It greets me when I wake each morning. In this frame is a postcard my Mum gave me. She gave me this postcard when I moved to London when I was 19 years old. I’d got a place on a part time foundation acting course at…
Don’t be SCARED of SADNESS round the corner – Happy Banana Bread Flapjacks
This weekend I was unbelievably JOYFUL. (Alright, Joy, don’t rub it in) I laughed so much. I had a beautiful time with my mum and stepdad. On the coach back to London, I was smiling. I had a moment in which I thought, ‘SHIT! I’m really HAPPY!’ The next thought was … ‘When is this…
I’m a vegan but… I LOVE MEAT – Tofu Kedgeree
This is quite controversial coming from the mouth of a vegan but…. I love MEAT. I’ve been thinking of writing this blog post for a while as so much of the time with vegan activism, we don’t hear from the vegans who STILL LOVE MEAT. Why do you think there are so many meat substitutes…
Apologies to ANYONE I’ve ever GHOSTED on Tinder – Red Velvet Oatmeal
Dating is SCARY. One of my favourite books which involves a romance is ….Jane Eyre. So well balanced. Rochester locks his mentally ill wife in the attic. He tries to marry Jane, lying to her the whole time. She leaves. Eventually she comes back to him and they marry, after he is blind and severely…
Let them eat CAKE – Coffee and Walnut Cake Oatmeal
Here is a funny story about cake. And as a lot of funny stories begin, I’m going to start it with the sentence…. ‘When I was severely anorexic….’ (Hilarious right? No but seriously stay with me) I was about to collapse and be taken into hospital for the second time but before that it was…

You DESERVE Pancakes! Plain and simple, you bloody well DO! You don’t need to have exercised to burn off the calories to EARN the pancakes. You don’t need to have under eaten today to EARN the pancakes. You don’t need to go … ‘Well it’s Tuesday… which is NOT a treat day, and is not…

Most mornings, you can see me stirring my potion (*cough* porridge) in my shiny metal cauldron (*cough* saucepan) I can prove to you that PORRIDGE is… MAGIC! That is has healing properties and can boost your MOOD and ENERGY. Porridge used…
