Sometimes the world gets rough. Sickness takes over and you feel down in the dumps. We've all been sick at some stage and usually it passes with a cold or a bug. But if you do have a long term illness or disease it's a different challenge. I've had Crohn's Disease for 26 years and I've …
If you've smelt flowers, an orange skin, a pine tree, then at some point you've already been exposed to an essential oil. Essential in terms of "essence" - the smell - not meaning "necessary". I find myself being drawn to the benefits of nature's medicine after many years of chronic illness. Not to cure me, …
I am an early riser - that's no secret! I love getting up early and heading to my computer to get some work done on this blog before anyone else in my house rises. I always think that if I can get a little bit done early then if my day falls apart or if …
I saw this quote on Pinterest and it really struck a chord with me! Find your flow and row, row, row. I love it. YES, that's what I am doing right now. If you are on my email list you would have received a letter from me last week with a bit of an update …
Usually I am not in to quotes (unless they are funny or sarcastic!). I can generally take them or leave them. But every now and I then I see a few and lock them away in my memory. I might see one I really resonate with and read it a few times to give myself …
I'm rambling today and it may not make sense but here we go with my thoughts in bullet point (because I wrote as they just landed on the page)... There's no pity party required, but I think I've been doing it pretty tough the past couple of years. If there is such a thing …
If you come here often you'll be sick of me banging on about myself and my dreary health struggles... but I promise I am not being a downer today. No more of that happening here in my little house in Wagga Wagga. I am waking up every day feeling happier and motivated and actually cannot …
I've been a little quiet over here and that's not usually me! I have always written on my blog daily (well pretty much) and since December I have been a real hit and miss. I think I've needed some time out, and over the next month I don't expect to be blogging much again. I …
It's the first day of Spring and I couldn't think of a better time to sort out my day to day stuff. A change in the season is as good as any. This week I discovered I'd been slapped with a shadowban on Instagram. Actually, I think this has been going on since June. I …
Here's a few fun facts today! Are there things you just don't have time to do?? You'd like to do them, but just know you'll never get around to being so diligent and disciplined? Here are 8 things I just don't have time for... 1. I don't have time to properly sort my laundry Oh …
Hey there! Scroll by guys if this post isn't for you :) ... but I wanted to share a little update on my Crohn's journey and I feel a little bit stuck, so sometimes it's just good to write about it... I've been patiently waiting for my doctor to get back to me about a …
Scroll on by people if this isn't your thing. I know, I will return to my normal pretty things tomorrow. ;) BUT seeing as I'm online a lot, I thought it's only fair to sometimes keep it real! May is awareness month for Crohn's and I've been asked to be of their promo this year. …
