Knowing Your Signs

This post is about spotting the signs, if you’ve experienced mental health issues before, youContinue reading “Knowing Your Signs”

High Protein Foods

I had a realisation today, after a brief discussion about what foods are full of protein and what aren’t, my husband needs to build up muscle just above his knees (physio’s orders) and I suggested a little more protein in his diet might help with this. It might not, but since it’s used to helpContinue reading “High Protein Foods”

Changes – Photography

You may have noticed a few changes on the website, while I wanted to keep things together, it’s become obvious that some aspects need their own dedicated space. My photography is an important part of my life, and I have been working on developing that skill. Preferences lean towards street, candid and macro photography, IContinue reading “Changes – Photography”

And So It Begins – 2022

I’m not sure it’s wise to start with happy new year, for many this really hasn’t been and with Omicron doing it’s best to spread far and wide, it’s not likely to improve for many. I’m not doing any new years resolutions as such, a tradition that is more about making plans you don’t intendContinue reading “And So It Begins – 2022”

Collab reviews – real or scam? T-Post

There are so many of the collab or ambassador offers these days, and honestly, most of them aren’t real or have catches that make it not worth your time. My latest is T-post, who I confess, I’d not heard of until today. I find it fascinating how many I get considering my followers are fairlyContinue reading “Collab reviews – real or scam? T-Post”

Wales Comic Con – Darryl Costume

This isn’t an overly complicated costume, I’m sure you’ve seen it before if you love the Walking Dead like me. Firstly you need the obligatory leather waistcoat, doesn’t matter what else you go with, if you’re missing that, you won’t be recognised. So I started out copying the wings and then trying to make themContinue reading “Wales Comic Con – Darryl Costume”

Gratitude – Positivity or Toxic?

Gratitude is one of the new big buzz words, it helps you sleep, makes you more appreciative of what you have etc. It can improve mood and help reduce anxiety. But how does it work and is it always good? Now I promise this isn’t bashing gratitude as an idea, or denying the benefits, thisContinue reading “Gratitude – Positivity or Toxic?”

World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is a day of awareness, keeping fresh in our minds that anyone can suffer from mental health issues, at any time, in any place. And yet, we still hear “What have they got to be depressed about?” or my favourite one “they’re just doing it for attention.” I put those upContinue reading “World Mental Health Day”
