This fortnight we decided it was about time we discussed something a little lighter so we’re chatting all about fashion, personal style and wardrobe staples. It’s something we both love and can be so much fun so whether you want to just get involved in the conversation or are looking for that confidence boost when it comes to stepping outside your style comfort zones, we’re here. We also discuss Our Planet, Captain Marvel (no spoilers, don’t worry) and the people you simply must be following on Instagram.

This week we decided to just have a bit of a natter over some tea & mini eggs (because who can resist when it’s the season for them?). We catch up about everything we’ve been up to recently, discuss our favourite teas (with some possibly controversial thoughts), what we’ve been reading, what we’ve been buying and just generally have a bit of a ramble. We’ll be back in the next episode with a slightly meatier topic but for now we thought it would be the perfect chance to take 5, catch up and chill out after a long couple of weeks. We’ve also relaunched the 20s Are Hard Instagram page so head over there for your daily dose of positivity and some pretty pictures!

This week we are discussing long distance relationships, a topic that is very close to both of our hearts and something that we could chat about for hours. We have both been in long distance relationships for some years and in that time have found that not only do very few people seem to discuss them but that there is also the idea that long distance can only ever be a bad thing. That certainly isn’t how we feel (or our boyfriends for that matter!) so we wanted to have this conversation to reframe long distance and share why it has worked for us and the steps we take to maintain a healthy relationship. We know that this probably wont be relevant for everyone in their 20’s but it’s been a defining feature of ours so wanted to discuss it. Whether you’re in one now, have been in the past or you’re just as nosey as we are and like to hear about peoples relationships we hope you enjoy this week! And if you want to hear the couples Q&A then please send us in your questions and we’ll get the guys on!

This week we are chatting all about social media. Love it or hate it, social media is a big part of most of our lives and for all of its benefits there are some drawbacks that we’ve been thinking about more recently. It isn’t always easy to create boundaries around social media as it’s so intergrated into our lives and as a result it doesn’t always have the most positive impacts on our day to day lives. We discuss how we came to realise how altered some elements of social media is and also how we are trying to curate our social feeds to be more positive and empowering spaces.

This week we chat all about our recent trips to Prague, Riga and Stockholm (don’t we sound so glamorous?!), share some cosy recommendations to provide some comfort in this freezing weather and also discuss careers. There’s so much we want to discuss about careers but we thought we would start with how to work out what your ideal career is, how to land that dream job and what to do if that dream job doesn’t turn out to be quite as perfect as you had imagined.

This week we discuss all of the expectations we had for our twenties and how they didn’t quite work out how we had imagined. The reality of jobs, living situations, money and even how we decorate our living environments are all very different from what we had expected, but that is totally fine, very normal and actually ok. We also share some of our favourite things from the past fortnight and update you on what we have been doing.
