A Letter to Myself for a New Semester
This week marks the beginning of a new term of my MA, and honestly? I’m even more excited than in September.

The Food Staples We Always Have In Our Kitchen (and our go to meals)
Stocking the kitchen (especially in a pandemic) isn’t exactly an easy task. Whilst I’m busy ignoring the Pringles, my boyfriend’s snuck a pack of cookies in the trolley, eating healthy has never come naturally to us. However, because of my health, we spend a lot of time thinking about the food we’re putting into our…
