Like most people, I’ve read a few articles online about the good and bad effect that our digital age has on us as humans. The continued rise of Social Media is discussed at length and in great detail.
Our younger generations, in particular, it seems, are struggling...

The older I get the more I look back over my life and find earlier points of reference. This layering of experience and information adds more depth and understanding to both where I am now and where I was. The reference this time I am referring to is the religion or way...

Dear Janine,
I found out last week that my father has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. I'm an only child and my parents got divorced when I was 7, so he is single. How can I best support him and myself through this difficult time?

Spring is almost here, you can feel it in the air. Automatically every cell in your body is getting ready to come out of winter hibernation in readiness for the sunshine and warmer weather.
Winter is a wonderful time of curling up, warm winter fires, or just cosying by the TV...

I need your help please. I just turned 33 and started my first relationship with a woman about 4 months ago. My girlfriend wants to meet my parents. The only problem is that they have no idea that I'm bisexual. How can I tell my parents and make my girlfriend...

Happiness is not external - happiness will never be found outside of yourself. This is hard to grasp as I sometimes still find myself saying ‘life will be better when...’, but I must remind myself life is good now. I can CHOOSE to be happy now right in this...

February is the month of romance and Valentine’s Day, and the time when people are desperate to find someone or be with someone because no one wants to spend Valentine’s Day alone.
Why is that? Why do people seek to be with others to take away that feeling of loneliness...

I spent some time in the rural villages of France at the beginning of last year when the world was a different place. I was particularly struck by how uncommercialised the area was. There was scant reference to Valentine’s Day, whilst here in England, whether you love it...

Let’s start with a super brief history of how Valentine’s Day began.
There’s lots of history regarding the 14th of February with regards to religion. The actual day was named after Saint Valentine, a catholic priest who lived in Rome during the 3rd Century. It...

Dear 2020,
Thank you for teaching me some of the hardest lessons in life. Thank you for never giving up in showing me my strength. Thank you for taking everything away from me to make me realise what’s truly important in life such as family, friends, nature and the little...

It is a fact. Working from home is here to stay for many of us. Whether we like it or not. Did you know the average person spends 2.5 days per year searching for lost items? That’s a lot of time wasted. Are you up for a challenge to change that? And transform your...

Towards the end of the year I saw so many posts, messages and images reminding me of the fact that there are only so many days left until the end of the year. Nothing unusual there then. There is an overt message that all entrepreneurs or action takers need to make a plan,...

Dear Janine,
My best friend has challenged me to do 'Veganuary', which is basically eating only vegan food for the month of January. I want to do it but I'll be honest, I love eating meat and don't know if I'll make it all the way through. Do you have any advice for me?
Thanks,

I’m fairly certain if you head to your wardrobe right now you’ll find some representation of the little black dress.
Have you ever wondered why it’s the little black dress and not the little red, pink or even blue dress? Well, wonder no more! The...
