I went back to Copenhagen to find out whether the lifestyle I fell for the first time was just a city-break illusion. Being fortunate enough to travel fairly regularly across Europe and America for work and my own trips over the last three years, I’ve never been quite as drawn to a place as I have to Copenhagen.

Date: March, 2023 Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash If your doctor told you that oral contraceptives would regulate your periods, banish your acne and release you from the burden of your menstrual cramps, what would you do? For almost 40 years, general practitioners (GPs) have been prescribing female patients the same treatment – oral contraceptives. This seemingly one-fits-all approach simply masks the signs of underlying health conditions, delaying diagnosis a

Even after reading many travel features and watching endless documentaries that followed exciting travels across the globe, writing in this style myself was entirely new for me. Once I started writing about my recent trip to Budapest, I realised that I enjoyed describing all of these small moments in detail, translating my thoughts and emotions into a story that people could be inspired by. I hope this piece - the beautiful sights, delicious food and fun escapades - encourage

My article about Adult ADHD diagnoses has been published in the mental health and wellbeing magazine, Happiful.

It was a very interesting piece to work on and I think it will be an enlightening read for many. You can read the article on the Happiful website here, as well as in their e-magazine and print issue in store or online.

As readers of the novel know, Persuasion is the st

Marson expressed the need for an effective approach to recover from the significant impact that the pandemic has had on student’s education. She feels that there is no sufficient substitute for classroom learning and supports pupils return to school. “We need to balance the needs of families and teachers,” she said, when considering how student

A Hertfordshire business has seen sales decline after new Brexit regulations cause confusion for EU customers. The Allendale Group on Pindar Road in Hoddesdon have seen sales of larger items fall by half, following Brexit.

The recent events surrounding Sarah Everard’s murder, at the hands of police officer Wayne Couzens, have hit everyone hard. Whilst I do not want to take away from her case and the mourning of Sarah, the events have shed a light on the fact that this was not an isolated matter. The actions of certain men and the consequences they have had have been brought to the forefront of our minds in the last couple of weeks. A report from the Office for National Statistics has shown that

The struggle with food and overeating has become more of an issue now than ever for many of us in lockdown. In a time when most of our stress and boredom levels have reached their peak, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I have fallen into the cycle of comfort eating at least once this past year. This (what seems like) endless coronavirus pandemic has left many of us turning to food to ease our feelings of stress, anxiety, boredom, and loneliness. With the consequ
