When it comes to employment, people fall into one of two categories – they either love their job with the passion of ten thousand Cupids, or they are using it as a security blanket that is holding them back from what they actually want to do.

There is never a right time to quit your job and embrace what you actually have a… Read the full story

Most of the transformation photos we see on the internet show the same story: bigger before, slimmer and more toned after.

The captions will detail the hard work of exercising and eating well. And those stories deserve to be applauded – it’s a big deal to dedicate yourself to fitness and achieve results.

But there are other transformations that deserve recognition, too.

Journeys of self-acceptance, for example. Transformations of health that are reflected in weight gain, instead of weight loss.

Many women – including myself not too long ago – worry that keeping fit will mess up their beauty routine.

Some people feel like they won’t have enough time to maintain a beauty routine and a fitness routine. Images of being a constantly sweaty, makeup-free, frizzy mess scare women off from employing serious fitness into their lifestyle.

But I’m here to tell you, you can look fabulous and feminine alongside handling hardcore gym equipment and showering twice a day.

Like most jobs, however, it does come with its downsides – like having to only eat salads and going to awful castings which drag on for hours without so much as a cup of tea.

Do you have a set rule for how many dates you need to go on before you have sex? Or are you more of a ‘going with the moment’ type?

Personally, it takes me a while. Not because of prudishness, but because I’m so scared of being murdered that I wouldn’t go to anyone’s home until I’d known them a few months.

This has never really been an issue because, thankfully, most of the people I date don’t have a problem with delaying sexy stuff.

Which makes sense, considering new research… Read the full story

I feel guilty for a range of reasons.

I often have to cancel plans at the last minute, I’ve reached the point where I won’t make plans at all for fear of having to cancel.

The thing I feel most guilty for is having to call in sick.

Luckily, I am in a position where I am able to work from home if I’m not okay to get into the office… Read the full story

That is, until now.

And what exactly does autism ‘look’ like? (Picture: Erin Aniker)

It’s Autism Awareness Week in the UK from March 27 to April 2. Awareness really is improving massively, but there are still lingering preconceptions that those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show visible traits.

I am an adult woman diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and I can tell you that, no, you can’t always just LOOK at someone and tell that they’re autistic – either from their appearance or their behaviour.

There is no one obvious ‘type’ of autism – it’s a spectrum.

Every individual with the diagnosis is different.

Some people with severe autism may display visible behaviours commonly associated with… Read the full story
