Sleighing the Aunt Game: A Toy Story


Relationships

Ah, the Christmas season! That magical time of year when the world is awash with twinkling lights, the scent of pine needles fills the air, and my bank account braces itself for the annual onslaught. As a single woman, my holiday duties pivot sharply from self-indulgence to the noble cause of spoiling my nephews and […]

Shuffling Fate One Card At A Time


Hobbies & Interests

Let’s talk tarot, or as I like to call it, “Tinder for the soul.” As a card-carrying member of the single women’s club (pun absolutely intended), I’ve found myself drawn to the mystical, somewhat mysterious world of tarot readings. Now, I’m not exactly what you’d call a hardcore believer, nor am I a skeptic. I’m […]

Sneakers Ready, But the Treadmill’s Steady


Health

Once upon a calorie, in the land of Singlehood and Unmatched Socks, I found myself caught in the reflection of a shop window, contemplating the extra layer of love I’d been cushioning myself with. Ah, the blissful union of Netflix, Ben & Jerry’s, and I had started to become a bit, shall we say, visible. […]

The Case of the Vanishing Facebook Friend


Relationships, Social Life

Well, isn’t life just chock-full of surprises? There I was, sipping my morning coffee, swiping through an endless sea of memes, when my phone pinged with a notification. A text from “Clair-RememberThatOneTimeSheUnfriendedYou?” – a name I had apparently saved in a bout of pettiness three years ago. I blinked, not once, but thrice. Clair? THE […]

Single Bells Ringing at the Family Reunion


Relationships

So there I was, at the annual family reunion, otherwise known as the ‘Feast of a Thousand Questions.’ As soon as I stepped foot into the bustling house filled with the aroma of Aunt Sue’s famous apple pie, I knew I was stepping into the interrogation room. The scene was set – an army of […]

Ex and the City: The Supermarket Edition


Relationships

It’s a Saturday morning, and you’re rolling your grocery cart down aisle 5 – the snacks aisle (because let’s face it, nobody goes grocery shopping on an empty stomach). Out of nowhere, you spot a familiar face. You squint a little and, sure enough, it’s your ex, hunched over a jar of peanut butter, meticulously […]

Single Seat, Remote in Hand


Home & Lifestyle

Listen up, my fellow single comrades, because I’m about to spill the beans on one of the most glorious perks of flying solo: the ultimate power over the remote control. That’s right, in this realm of solo living, I am the undisputed ruler of the sofa kingdom, the master of the channels, and the arbiter […]

Queen of the Quilt


Home & Lifestyle

So, my dear readers, you know the age-old saying: “Two’s company, three’s a crowd.” But, have you ever considered the thrill of a party of one, particularly in the realm of the humble, yet sacred bed? Let me pitch you the tantalizing tale of singledom and the splendors of having a bed all to oneself. […]

No Cats in this Alley


Hobbies & Interests, Home & Lifestyle, Relationships

Whoa, hold your horses (or should I say, hold your cats?). Let’s set the record straight: I am single, but I am not, I repeat, NOT, a cat lady. Now, don’t get me wrong; I’ve got nothing against those adorable, whisker-faced, purring machines. It’s just that when it comes to choosing between ‘meow’ and ‘woof’, […]
