You’re always on my mind. You’re the last thing I think about before bed and my first thought when I open my eyes at 7 a.m. to the sound of my alarm. You’re the reason I’m late for work in the mornings and the reason I stay up way too late at night. You challenge…

Kicking it OLD School
Going back to school in your mid 30’s certainly comes with its challenges. Picture this: A 35-year-old woman sitting in the last available chair at her local Starbucks with a MacBook on her lap (because you can’t swing a dead cat in there without hitting someone working on the 3rd draft of their thesis), reading…
Welcome to Your 30’s, You Officially Work with People Who Were Born in 1998.
I had the great pleasure of witnessing the first signs of grey hair in my mid 20’s, but now that I’m in my 30’s I’ve started to notice the rest of my body sprinting to catch up to my roots. Why is it that when men age they become known as silver foxes, but an…
How Twitter Changed my Life
I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but when I opened my Twitter account back in 2009, I had no idea of the impact it was going to actually have on my life. In a land before time when memes weren’t even a thing and before I was composing 1500 word blog posts for…
I hate reading. There, I said it.
I crawl into bed each night next to a perfectly stacked pile of books on my bed side table, all of which are half read (half is actually pushing it, I’ve probably only read the forewords). I love books, the smell, the feel of flipping though pages, the bright colours and individual design of each…
Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice – Tales of a Basic Bitch
If you were late for work this morning because you had to stop and get a pumpkin spice latte at your local Starbucks drive-thru where the barista, who knows you by name, proceeded to compliment your oversized blanket scarf as you drove off listening to the latest Taylor Swift album, you might be a basic…
Proud Member of The No-Babysitter’s Club
When I tell people I don’t want kids, I’m always looked at like I have two-heads (none of which will be coming out of my vagina). Since it’s 2018, I’d like to think that I don’t have to explain the millions of reasons why you should never ask a woman in her thirties (or a…
Forget the Spark, I Need a Blow Torch
As I prep tonight’s gourmet single-girl dinner which consists of half a bag of Skinny-pop popcorn and a caffeine-free Diet Coke, I find myself feeling an overwhelming amount of guilt for having given up on myself and completely lost my spark. I guess you could say my “fuck it” meter is at an all-time high…
The Fast and The Furious Life of a Female Driver
They say that driving is a privilege, not a right. But what I don’t understand is how insurance companies think that gives them the right to pretty much have us at their mercy for the rest of our ever-loving lives. And don’t even get me started on how insurance companies treat you when you’re a…
