There is no denying that the world will be a changed place once this is all over. Although we all keep talking about when things go back to normal, we know deep down there is no old “normal” anymore, only a new normal that we’ll all be forging together. This new normal will touch every aspect of our lives. The way we work, shopping, leisure and of course, dating. I can imagine once lockdown is lifted and leisure sanctions changed a lot of people will be looking towards their love lives. Especially if they’ve been on their own for weeks on end. There will be a lot more people ready…

I’m single and I have been for coming up to 4 years now. It seems like a long time but for me, it’s also been a blink of the eye because I’ve been too busy raising my kid. I had to put her first. But as she gets older I know it’s time for me to put myself first. I think the COVID-19 lockdown has been a bit of a wake up call for me. It’s made me realise how alone I am. Yes, I’ve had my kid flittering around, but she’s the only social contact i’ve had for over 7 weeks now. I miss having an adult to talk…

This lockdown has been a great reminder just how lucky I am to be able to work from home. Although I have seen a reduction in work as a lot of the companies I work for as a self employed writer and content creater aren’t deemed as essential, I have still been able to work! This isn’t a case for a lot of people and for that, I’m blessed. It seems that people are really consuming influencer content during this lockdown and that’s where I’m continuing to earn. Although to make enough money to live a comfortable life while working in this field I do have to pick up as…

For a lot of us, we’re now heading into the 8th week of lockdown. This has been telling on us all physically and mentally. I know I’m starting to struggle. I’ve eaten too much, I’m not sleeping well and i’m definitely not getting the exercise I should be. At the moment my main goal is to survive. As long as I come out of lockdown as mentally healthy as I can possibly I’ll see it as a win. As lonely as I’ve been, I’m glad i’ve only had myself to worry about. I’m on my own and there are only two of us in the house and that’s enough. I…

If one thing’s for certain, it’s the fact that all of us will have to accustom ourselves to living within the “new normal”. The new normal refers to the adoption of social distancing, better hygiene practices and cost-cutting all in an effort to combat COVID-19. Despite the naysayers, social distancing and widespread quarantines have proven to be extremely effective in preventing national healthcare systems from becoming overwhelmed as was seen in New York and parts of Italy. While these measures have successfully flattened the infection curve, it has come at a grave cost with the global economy being brought to a virtual standstill. As consumption falls and people begin to…

Many people believe that straightening teeth is not a possibility for adults, but rather a treatment that is only for teenagers when bones are young and supple. It is true that younger mouths are more adaptable and responsive to change, however this does not mean that straightening teeth or correcting the alignment of an adult jaw is not possible. It may take a slightly longer period of time, but in the great scheme of things, a month or two longer makes no real difference for an individual who is looking to correct their smile. For adults, straightening teeth may have been a decision that was a long time coming. Teeth…
