My Advent Calendar - Notebook

I absolutely loved working with Kristina on this feature. She had an idea to create an advent calendar with a charity twist - behind every door is a 50p contribution to a charity. The premise supports 24 incredible charities, all carefully selected by Kristina and covering good causes in various areas, from children in need to animals in need and everything in between.

Thank you, body!

Love, love, LOVE this story! Absolutely love writing about women who have been on a journey to find peace with themselves. Women who have self-confidence, self-acceptance and happiness, much deserved. These are the kind of stories I want to read when I open a magazine and it is my great honour to help make them happen!

Toddler's Tantrums - Bella

If only there were just tantrums... poor Grace was dismissed by GPs as going through a 'tantrum phase'. Sadly, what her change of behaviour actually revealed was the utterly devastating Batten's disease. Mum Izabela shares her story in Bella magazine this week. It's heartbreaking, but if her drug trial starts soon they hope to ward off and delay the onset of the debilitating symptoms.

My partner stabbed me 24 times - Closer

What happened to Natalie is unfathomable. You may have read about her in the papers back on that fateful day and in the weeks and months that followed. We were a nation unable to believe her own partner, the father of her unborn child, could have done what he did. But, he did. And that's something Natalie had to come to terms with and move on from.
