It’s my birthday! Today I’m 40 I had an amazing little surprise party at the weekend with my bubble and it was simply perfect! I was spoiled rotten by the people I love most in the world 🥰 And while I’m sad to be leaving my thirties behind I am so excited for this

When I retired from work it was far too easy to become spread too thin. I would be running here there and everywhere as I had nowhere else to be. I forgot that the very reason I had been retired was that I was too ill to work. I wore myself out. Now I try to only do things tha

I spent most of my twenties worrying about things I couldn't control. I worried about other people and their actions. I worried about how things would work out and fretted when they didn't. When my marriage broke down just as I turned 30 I realised that I had to let go of things

I am the biggest culprit for having a screen on. If I'm not bingeing on Netflix, I am looking at my phone or typing frantically on my laptop. My mum and dad used to joke when I was a kid about getting square eyes from sitting in front of the TV (funny story there used to be only

I see all over Instagram today that it is #selfcaresunday and while I love the idea of this I have to say that I think self-care should be EVERY DAY!! We live in a world that never stops. All-day long we are under pressure. We have to deal with jobs, money, homes, socialising, t

Sleep Oh my gosh, this is the bane of my existence at times. Sleep or rather lack of it can cause a HUGE dip in your mental health. 1: Get comfy - I love clean fresh sheets! 2: Make sure you are not too warm or cold 3: Wear something comfortable 4: Dim lighting 5: No screens 6

Hobbies I have LOTS of hobbies. I like to motorcycle, knit, macrame, craft, paint and go to the theatre. I also have a pottery studio in my garden. I like to blog, take pictures and travel. I am a busy girl! I have all these hobbies (and more) so as to keep myself busy. Days

CBD stands for cannabidiol which is a product of marijuana. CBD products have many potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety, and seizure-suppressant properties. It is available over the counter and is much easier for many to access com

I think as I get older I love to have a routine. As the mum of a child with Autism, routine has been a huge part of our lives as it helps Owen to deal with everyday life. But routine is important for mental health too. Routines help us cope with change, create healthy habits, im

For me, there is no better feeling like that of being intimate. In fact, I think it is the most personal you can get (either with yourself to with another person) Yes I am including masturbation here as the end result is the same! Guys we are talking about ORGASMS! Orgasms re

Setting boundaries. I never used to understand this term. In fact, I used to run myself ragged trying my best to accommodate everyone, please them and not having enough left for myself. Life was hard. So now I try to set boundaries as best I can. I do this by: 1. Being Direc

Its Friday again guys and I am so looking forward to the weekend. Its when I try to switch off I homeschool during the week so it can get pretty intensive between maths, science and Japanese (yes we study Japanese here or rather Owen does!) I also cook lots, try to do anythin

The only weight I plan on losing is the weight of other peoples opinions. I know that I am not the "ideal weight" for my height or the "healthy weight" I should be at. Yet we use an outdated set of expectations to set these goals so why should I worry. I gained a lot of weight

I am a mum. I have two (wonderful) children. Sophie (21) and Owen (14) Yes ok this may be an old picture but look how young I look!! As a mum, I feel guilty for not always having the time to dedicate to my kids. Sophie is married so not so much her but I do worry about Owen. I

Migraines - they flipping suck! I have been a sufferer of migraines for a few years now. In fact, I am borderline with chronic migraines. They steal days and weeks from you. So I have come up with some tips to help manage migraines. Medication - believe it or not big heavy-dut
