The La Tomatina Festival - My Experience!
One of my best memories from Valencia 2019 are as follows: It was three days after the Tomatina festival in Buñol, and I was with my friends in the Arts and Science Museum. We decided to book a ride on the paddle board, you had to stand on in order to paddle across the wide swimming pool, cutting across the entire length of the museum. Since we wanted to capture this experience, we decided it would be best if we took turns going on the paddle board so the other two could take photos in different angles.

If You're Travelling, Here Are Some Tips For You!
I remember my first time travelling as though it were yesterday. I was fresh out of university, having just booked a 5-day trip to Tenerife with my cousin and two friends, feeling on top of the world. I felt every emotional under the sun; hope, fear, excitement, joy, nervousness.

Best Restaurants/Bars in London!
Something important to know about me is that I love food. I love cooking it. I love eating it. I love planning my dates around what restaurants I’m going to go to. I love trying out new food and places and I just generally love living for food. And that’s why this week I decided to share some of my most favourite food places in London.

If someone loves you, you will just know.
As young women who participate in modern dating through which we exercise our rights as rational individuals, capable of making decisions about our romantic life, we sometimes act irrationally.

Loyalty is not a personality trait.
There was a time when, I too, would label ‘loyalty’ as one of the qualities a man would ideally tick off my list of ‘attractive personality traits’ before I considered him as a potential partner. Among loyalty were other things such as ‘he should love me’ and ‘he should respect me as an equal’.

The Letter That Saved Me
There comes a point in every person’s life when they reach a place of self-love and healing. The healing is gradual, it is a constantly fluctuating line that slowly staggers upwards, but this place of self-love is one that has taken this person a long time to reach.

Excuses in relationships suck.
You had to see this, you just had to. So, now that you're here, listen to this advice carefully: Stop saying, ‘It’s okay, things will get better,’ after yet another argument.

Loving yourself is the key to being happy.
Over the last few years, I've managed to embrace the truth that self-love is the antidote to a lot of the heartache that we experience. And without accepting this - I wouldn't be where I am today.

Being Alone and What It Taught Me.
You can stay alone for as long as you like, but you’ll never truly be comfortable in solitude until you welcome it with open arms.

'Anyone Would Be Lucky to Have You'
You told me, “Anyone would be so lucky to have you”. But you looked away when you uttered it, as though looking deep inside my eyes made it harder for you to turn this lie into a truth.

If they love you, they will give you your space
Often, we feel bad when we don’t do things for others. We give explanations for why we cancelled on dinner and we justify our sadness, and we think it’s fine to meet up with friends whom we’ve outgrown or old lovers who broke our hearts just because of our history. But by doing this, we’re being unfair to ourselves.

Heartbreaks Kill, or do they?
I’ve had my fair share of heartbreaks. Heartbreaks that taught me new lessons. Heartbreaks that changed me. Heartbreaks that remained in the back of my mind, even as I got to know new people. Heartbreaks that haunted me each night. Heartbreaks that I got over quickly. They are still heartbreaks, even if they don’t last as long as those that came before them or those that will arrive after.
