    The question everyone either asks me, or wants to ask, is this: Which toilet do you use when out in girl-mode? It’s a valid simple-sounding question. And the short answer is: “It depends”

  • A Few Days Away…

    ….in girl-mode. Taking the opportunity to visit a Pride Event in another country felt a little daring but… well, if you’re not living life on the edge, you’re taking up too much space, right?
