12/31/2018 #365DaysOfSelfCare #365DaysOfSelfCare | A 2018 Review Hello & a warm welcome back to the last blog post of 2018! This year has flown by and I thought the perfect blog post to end the year with is all about my experience of the #365DaysOfSelfCare challenge on Twitter.

08/19/2018 The "Green Eyed Monster" The Green Eyed Monster Hello and a warm welcome back to my website. Today is a little bit of a different post but one I’m sure many may be able to relate to. You may have heard the saying; “you can’t live your best life if you’re too busy wishing you have some else’s.” I didn’t realise how true that saying was until way back when, I experienced pangs of jealousy myself and I’m not ashamed to admit that, as jealousy is an emotion after all, even if it is one we would rather not experience.

07/07/2018 The Stigma is Real Mental Illness Stigma; my recent experience! Hello and a warm welcome back to my blog. Today’s post is one I didn’t think I would have to write, but I’m hoping it will be educational to some and provide some support/well wishes to those who need it.
