So, I have a brain scan coming up in two months time and it is safe to say that I am absolutely bricking it. This is for many reasons, the first is that I am scared of the actual process, I hate to feel locked into places and I just don't know what to expect. … Continue reading Brain scan! 🧠

Miscarriage – It was not your fault
Hello everyone! As I said in the little introduction video (bare with me, it's my first video!) I had a miscarriage in May '17. Rob and I weren't planning, we hadn't even been together a year.

The time I was taught to love myself
I remember being around 6 years old and everyone from my family to strangers on the street would tell me how beautiful my hair was. How long and blonde the locks flowed over my shoulders.

How Music Saved Me
Do you remember the pain of having to wait over an hour to have a whole playlist sent to your phone via Bluetooth? (And being stuck to that person kind enough to share no matter how awkward it was?) I do, and it was during school so I had to go through the anxiety that … Continue reading How Music Saved Me
How to make the perfect safe space.
One thing that keeps me going through life is knowing that I will be going home to a safe space. A place where I will never be judged for crying over trivial matters, where I can run and hide from the scary world, a quiet area so I can calm down. If you don't already … Continue reading How to make the perfect safe space.
