Somewhere between the sourdough starter and the perfectly ironed apron, a quiet revolution has been taking place on your For You Page. Women in florals, baking bread from scratch, folding laundry with a smile, and declaring, camera rolling, that their husband’s needs come first. Welcome to the world of the tradwife.

It’s 11.47pm and you’re three minutes into a scroll that was supposed to last thirty seconds. Someone from sixth form just got engaged. Someone else has posted a mortgage offer letter with a party popper emoji. A third person, who you’re fairly sure once failed a driving test in a Tesco car park, is now Head of Something at a company you’ve never heard of but sounds important.

as cancer season washes back out with the tide and makes way for the fiery energy of leo, you may be wondering what the rest of summer has in store for you. should you plan that beach trip with your besties? is that situationship worth hanging onto any longer? fear not, for i’m officially branding myself as adolescence’s astro girlie.

i’m intrigued by the clean girl aesthetic and its prominence over the past few years. that is, i can’t stop thinking about how it strips away any semblance of individuality.

Most people remember Sylvia Plath's fig tree as a metaphor about indecision. But beneath it lies a quieter and more painful idea: every choice creates a ghost. The life you didn't live doesn't disappear, it lingers in the imagination, tempting you with what might have been.

On 3 July 2026, Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in front of roughly a thousand guests. Adam Sandler officiated, and Paul McCartney performed a Beatles song he reportedly hadn’t sung live since 1964. It was, by any measure, an extraordinary event. Whether it succeeded as a wedding rather than a production is a different question entirely.

Everyone has seen the whole ‘eurosummer’ trend on tiktok. It’s not necessarily a trend, as many of us live this life every summer, but now everyone wants to live this life. I get it! Eurosummer is the peak summer experience. Outside all the time, having fun, looking good- why wouldn't you want a eurosummer?

After doomscrolling for hours and finally jolting awake in the middle of the night, I get this sudden urge to scrap my entire identity and become a new flower. A better me. Someone who's heaps more disciplined than the lazy, procrastinating, mildly gluttonous person currently lying in bed at 2 a.m. scrolling TikTok.

London attracts over 30 million visitors each year, both international and domestic. It’s a convenient city break for many. It’s in Europe (although not in the European Union anymore…but visas can be as cheap as €20), it’s in an English-speaking country, and flights are oftentimes very cheap. I’m just back from a weekend city break to London with my friend, so here is how I would recommend spending two nights in England’s lovely capital city.

I’d cry if my mam took me to a new after-school activity, or if I had to start at a new school where I knew no one. I was often the quietest kid in the classroom; everyone said that I was shy. I feel that many people can relate to this: not wanting to talk to strangers and not wanting to embarrass oneself.
