Helping Mums Embrace Gentle Living & Easy Journaling

If I was better what would I change?

So let’s say the combo of naturopath, CBD oil and Far Infrared mats (my newest investigation) didn’t just help me manage my Lyme/Fibro but actually returned me to full health. What would I change?  What would I go back to doing?  What lessons have I learnt? I think that it’s an important question to answer. […]

When Fibromyalgia is actually Lyme Disease

Progress

I’m sorry, it has all been a little bit about sickness recently hasn’t it?  Bit boring really, so I’m going to make this post succinct, and then move onto more interesting subjects for a while 😉 Some background: since June last year, I got really sick.  I’m better, but I can’t work full time, find […]

CBD oil for Pain Relief & Sleep Problems

I apologise, I’ve been promising this post for months, and really it’s pretty easy to write, I just didn’t get round to it. If you have a weird funky illness that gives you pain and sleep problems, the I really recommend CBD oil. There is no ‘hit’.  Just pain relief and a good 6hrs sleep, […]

Why my body suddenly crashes

This is how my body works ….. “Right then, we have a target, all hands on deck we have a target” “We estimate that this project will take <xyz> amount of energy over <abc> number of days: initiate gradual send out of energy per day” “Oh shit, we estimated wrong” “Initiate borrow of energy from […]

The face of silent illnesses

This is the face of illness ……   It doesn’t look particularly ill does it? Honestly I don’t mind.  If I looked like I felt, it would be pretty catastrophic, and at least I don’t have that to worry about.  I don’t need lots of sympathy all the time either.  Although, I suppose it might […]

Pampering – it’s one of the best presents you can give YOURSELF or your loved ones! It might sound a bit ridiculous for the owner of a Hair & Beauty Salon and Spa to say this: But I hadn’t understand HOW important it is until recently. Now Danny Smith at Radio Verulam is a big […]

18 Months On From My Diagnosis With Fibromyalgia

Lowchens and children

  I’m so sorry, it’s been sooooo long since I wrote about my Fibromyalgia.  I feel especially guilty having been selected as one of the Top 16 Fibromyalgia Blogs worldwide.  I totally meant to blog as I went, but it just didn’t happen. But I have GREAT NEWS, so maybe it’s been more important that […]

Ten Tips On How To Take Care Of Yourself!

I’ve been wondering what to talk about with the gorgeous Danny Smith on his drive time show to Radio Verulam for a couple of days.

My house’s journey in 2013 – from salon to normality

My house’s journey in 2013 – from salon to normality

Loads of people do reviews of their life for the previous year, I’m going to do a review of my house’s life last year. For the first quarter of the year I saw lots of my house because I was still getting to grips with my Fibromyalgia – I basically needed a jolly good rest.  Gradually […]

Never been to a Folk Festival? Nows the time to try it …

I can’t believe it was so long ago that we went to Folk By the Oak 2013 at the beginning of the summer in July. I’m a fan of family festivals as you know, but I’ve never been to a ‘folk’ festival, so I was intrigued to see what it would be like. I needn’t have […]
