A little rest and a lot of changes.
The last time I sat down and typed out a blog was October 2019. I was in need of a rest from pretty much everything. And what a lot of changes since then…

World Mental Health Day 2019 – How far I’ve come.
I was unsure whether to post this blog a few weeks ago but it seems fitting that I do today as it’s World Mental Health Day. Last month I totally jinxed myself. I thought, smugly, it’s been a year since I had my last panic […]
7 types of self-care that don’t cost a penny (and aren’t taking a bubble bath).
Self-care. We talk about it a lot. I talk about it a lot. But every time you open a magazine or online article it shows images of girls wrapped in towels at a swanky spa or, failing that, with a towel turban on their head […]
Self-care for Mums – a necessity, not a luxury.
Over the past few years I have become incredibly passionate about self-care for mums. Mums getting the opportunity to have some time to look after their health and wellbeing. I realised that ‘self-care’ didn’t have to mean an expensive spa day or a weekend break […]

The Perfect Juggler’s Meal Plan – w/c 9 July
In order to save money and to eat better throughout the week, I’m getting into the habit of making a weekly meal plan. Yes, snooze, I know. But every time I don’t do it my brain goes to mush. My organisation goes out the window […]

Almost daily I am asked whether I watch Love Island. When I say no, they try to get me tell them that I do really watch it, but don’t want to admit it. Again, when I say no they tell me I don’t know what […]
10 things to keep your mental health in tip-top condition
Following on from yesterday’s post I decided to tell you the things that have really helped me break down those ridiculously high expectations for myself. They may also help you too if you’re struggling or if you’re just feeling a bit ‘meh’. And no, they’re […]
Baby, I’m going crazy.
This week it is Maternal Mental Health Awareness week. But what does that mean? Well, I think, as mums, we can all agree that we all feel a little crazy after the 100th time of asking your little cherubs to put their shoes on, or […]
