So you've taken the plunge, it's official you are moving to London! Congratulations you!  You are about to embark on one heck of a journey!! Here are a few little tidbits that may help you as you make this move.  I've broken this post into 3 sections.... How You are likely to feel.  How You are likely to be treated. How to quickly adjust, or at least look like you are. Let's get started. So how are you likely to feel? Well to tell you the truth, I would be concerned if you're not on a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster right now. Moving to a new city is a big deal. So much of your life is about to change. It should feel exciting, but it's normal to feel a little (or a lot) nervous. Those butterflies in your tummy are a good thing when you first get to London, they will keep you sharp and alert.  You need to be. It's a very fast-paced place, especially in the centre and even more so when travelling.  It's okay, you will get used to it. A little lat...

I am a country girl from South Wales, and my other half is a Londoner. We were a long distance couple for a long time, but eventually, I moved to London, not just to be closer to him, but also because it was better for my well-being, career and overall goals for fulfilment. London as with any city, is so divers...

Hey guys, we're back!  Hope you are having a great Summer, we sure are!  In fact, you can see just how much fun we've been having over on insta where we are smack bang in our summer of reflection.  You see I have a big birthday at the end of this Summer and so before I hit the big _0 I wanted to reflect on all that I have learnt thus far, and where life has brought me. Now it just wouldn't be right if, given that I am a generous person by nature if I don't share that generosity with the city that I have called home for 5 years.  Previously to that, I was in a long-distance relationship with my other half for 5 years and so f or 10 years now, London has been a regular part of my life. I know that many of you are moving to London for school around about now. (or maybe you just moved here for your other half/as a faith move and need to jump straight into work like I did) The thing is, much of what I share here could be useful if you are moving to the big city this Su...

How To Leave A Secret Society And Not Die (How I Got Trapped) They trapped me, or maybe or perhaps it was my ignorant bliss. I thought they loved, I thought they cared, But really they lied, they emptied me wallet and soul. I was so broken, Thinking there was  no way out.  I thought I was desperate at the beginning. When death signed the marriage certificate.  But oh what bliss to struggle in freedom! The day they gave me everything,  I thought I won, but really I lost.

The nature of what I am about to share with you, is not something that anyone else should bare the weight of, since this is my decision, based on my own convictions. I am sorry this sounds so dramatic, but anyone who knew the old me in person will know, drama and Hayley Esther kind of go hand in hand. I admit to this fully, and it is for the purpose of leaning into a language I have taught those that love and support me, to expect from me, that I now choose to make my exist in a dramatic fashion ...

Disclaimer :Since it's the age of triggered, I will give you 3 potential triggers for this post, but if you trigger easy you likely don't wanna read this so see you tomorrow if you come back.  Potential Triggers: Sucide/Depression /Real Talk Right guys, let me straight today I don't feel like writing....I don't wanna be a real downer especially now the sun is finally starting to show up around here but I just got a word that a  friend of mine has committed suicide. At this point, I've just about had enough of getting messages like this, because I've had more in my young life than I care to admit. To be authentic today, I can't in good consciences  (yeah big word and what? I'm so not in the mood to edit myself right now) put up the happy post I was going to do so instead. I'm fighting back! Depression that is. I am fighting depression back because it sucks, and while it may be a part of the whole grieving thing. it's also had way too much of my li...
