I have to be completely honest. The reason I've barely written anything on my blog recently is because 9-10pm is my writing golden hour. It's when I feel most creative and relaxed, usually stuffed full of cheesy pasta and drinking a cuppa. But for the last few weeks, something far more important has been occurring… Continue reading Everything I have learned from Love Island 2018

Why I am my own #Fitspiration
I have never been into fitness. I used to cry the night before PE lessons, and sometimes during them. The first time I stepped foot inside a gym, I was 20 years old, and I fell off the end of the treadmill. While many people find a long run relaxing, or get a buzz from… Continue reading Why I am my own #Fitspiration
The March Round-Up: Trashy telly, a moving memoir and rediscovering my basic roots
Not gonna lie to you friends, March has been quite a shitty month. There's the obvious reason, of course, that the weather has been depressing and awful. The Jew-fro is really not cut out for this climate, and hasn't been coping well at all. I've also been feeling particularly anxious this month. Probably partly because… Continue reading The March Round-Up: Trashy telly, a moving memoir and rediscovering my basic roots
Talking self-doubt, imposter syndrome and doing the things that scare you with Stevie Martin
If you bump into me on the Jubilee Line on a Tuesday morning, I should warn you that I won't take my headphones out to say hello because I'll be listening to the Debrief podcast. If you haven't already listened (or heard me rambling on about it), it's a weekly show hosted by writer/journalist/comedians Tessa… Continue reading Talking self-doubt, imposter syndrome and doing the things that scare you with Stevie Martin
Talking heartbreak, haters and authenticity with Amelia Perrin
You know those girls on Instagram whose lives just seem SO perfect, you're not entirely sure they're real? Where it's all designer handbags, pink fluffy coats, rose-gold beauty products and bouquets of flowers? If you're thinking of someone in particular, my guess is it's Amelia Perrin. But there is more to this ex-beauty queen than… Continue reading Talking heartbreak, haters and authenticity with Amelia Perrin
22 lessons I learned as a 22-year-old
I don't know about you, but I'm no longer feeling 22. That's right folks, yesterday I turned 23 and the Taylor Swift song no longer applies. I'm a whole year older - and yeah, I actually do think I'm a bit wiser. I've been through a lot of change since my 22nd birthday. First permanent… Continue reading 22 lessons I learned as a 22-year-old
Relationship status with social media: ‘It’s Complicated’
I know what you're thinking: Arielle, you love social media. You're always tagging friends in memes on Facebook, drunkenly snapchatting your friends singing in ubers, tweeting #JournoRequests and writing excessively long captions on Instagram. Yes, yes, I know. I live in the social media bubble just as much as the next millennial. I probably unlock… Continue reading Relationship status with social media: ‘It’s Complicated’
Long-term love when you’re a millennial? Wtf lol
I'm only 22, but I've been with my boyfriend, Laurie, for almost eight years. We met at school aged 13, but our memories of our first meeting differ wildly - and neither are particularly good. Me: He was running around the playground with a pot of 'stinky mushroom powder' that his auntie had bought him… Continue reading Long-term love when you’re a millennial? Wtf lol
‘But you’re so sociable, how can you have social anxiety?’
A good friend of mine recently confessed after a couple of beers that he felt intimidated when he first met me. As someone so easily intimidated by others, I was completely puzzled. "What?! Why?" I demanded. "Because I don't think I'd ever met a girl as confident as you," he told me. I guess this… Continue reading ‘But you’re so sociable, how can you have social anxiety?’
Hey, what’s with the name?
Millennial pink is only slightly cool and only slightly adult - a bit like me.
