HPV is yet another acronym we’re supposed to know about! But just so we’re clear it’s not more internet-speak (like LOL or ICYMI), it’s actually pretty serious and important you understand.  Okay. So, what is HPV? ICYMI, (sorry) HPV, or Human Papillomavirus, is actually a really common sexually transmitted virus, and up to 80% of us will be infected with at least one genital type of HPV at some time in our lives (Source[AP1] ). There are over 100 types of HPV, and about 40 of those can affect the genital area (Source[AP2] ). For most people, there are no symptoms and the virus is cleared ..read more

This post is sponsored by PayK I like to think I’m pretty laid-back. I don’t sweat the small stuff. But, I do have one teensy, tiny pet peeve. I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, because it doesn’t seem like a big deal. But it’s something that happens to me ALL. THE. TIME. You know when you go out to dinner with friends or your organising a group birthday present and one person has to pay the lump sum? Well, I often put my hand up as that person. ‘No worries, I’ll chuck it on my credit card and you guys can just pay me back.’ And out comes my poor, worn-out plastic, so overuse ..read more

I thought I had pretty realistic expectations of dealing with a little girl’s hair. After all, I was a little girl once and I can vividly recall sitting on a kitchen stool screaming bloody murder as my mother brushed my hair. Fast forward 30 years or so and I find myself re-enacting this exact scenario with my own daughter and the trauma is even worse than I remember. Blessed with the same fine fickle locks as mine, I really struggle doing much with my five year old’s hair. This is undoubtedly in large part to my absolute lack of skill or finesse in the domain of anything girly, but also becau ..read more

Decluttered and minimalist living is all the rage these days. Marie Kondo’s Netflix series is just the tip of the very messy iceberg. It’s a billion dollar industry, with books, blogs, businesses and even TV shows, all based around having less stuff. And with good reason – the touted benefits are many and there is even scientific research linking the state of our homes to the state of our minds. A UCLA study called Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century discovered that mess and stress are closely linked. It turns out the more clutter we have, the more likely we will be depressed. This makes ..read more
