lifestylin', chronic illness livin', twenty-somethin' creative mess
March is Endometriosis Action Month. You may vaguely know of the condition. You may recognise the name. You may have absolutely no clue what I am talking about. Well, it’s time to change that. Trigger warning - there will be discussions of periods, blood, fertility, and medication within this post. When discussing Endometriosis (Endo), I…

A few months ago, I came back from my first trip abroad in years. Damn, I had forgotten how difficult flying and travelling can be if you have health problems. My husband turned up with this little rucksack, looking all happy, whereas I needed a rucksack for my medication alone, let alone my carry-on items.…

I'm a collector. A collector of symptoms, that is. In my bag, I've got wheezing and coughing, sciatica and swelling, anaphylaxis and aches, plus everyone's favourite; anxiety. Most of my chronic conditions have been with me since birth, or developed once I finished puberty. However, there is a condition that has only been with me…

We are back baby! Back with a New Year, and back with some more No Year’s Resolutions. Personally, I hate the framing of ~resolutions~ - something that you only resolve to do once the new year starts, and these tend to be tasks with a short lifespan.

Well, 2022 is swirling to an end - can you believe it?! I felt like I blinked in March and suddenly woke up on 28th December being asked ‘what are you doing for New Year’s?’ As a person, I tend to look to the future, to the year ahead. It’s far too easy to get…
How apt is it that I am welcoming PCOS awareness month with a PCOS flare up? It’s like my body has decided to try method acting. Sorry, I’m speaking in acronyms like some eighties businessman - let me clarify what I’m on about. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. A surprisingly common disorder that not a lot of…

Not to be someone to wish away the summer, buuuuut I’m actively wishing away the summer. Some people thrive in this heat; lying out in the sun, making the most of pub gardens, getting that Hot Girl Summer. I’m more of a Soft Girl Autumn type of gal myself. I can’t put my finger on…

We’re not on about breast implants today; I think my double Ds don’t need any extra help. I’m talking about the implant a la birth control! With the discourse surrounding abortion and birth control as rife as ever, including misinformation, I thought it would be good to share some real life experience, and to talk…

To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, “hello there”. To quote myself, “long time, no see, eh?” It’s been a little while since I’ve been in the blogging sphere, a few months in fact. I’m sorry for not heading off with an interim “I’m off!” post or a “see ya in August!” message. You see, I hadn’t planned…

I’ve got a chubby belly. Arms that wobble. Thighs thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. And I’m not losing any of it for my wedding. Not that it should be anyone’s business. My body, my rules after all. However, since I got engaged almost two years ago, I’ve felt that pendulum start swinging - one…
