The Last Month of 2022
Wednesday 30 November There are only 31 days left of this year. Some year it’s been. I am sure for everyone there has been a fair share of ups and downs, but I hope there has been more enjoyment than sadness. As December starts tomorrow, I want to give you one piece of advice, inspired […]

Christmas Time and Eating Disorders
Sunday 20 November TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDERS. The things I will cover in this blog post: We all know that Christmas can be a struggling time for people who have eating disorders or a bad relationship with food.

The Winter Blues
Thursday 27 Oct Don’t you just hate the winter blues? The lack of vitamin C, the cold and dark days, the lack of motivation… We all experience the concept of SAD on some spectrum during the winter months.

Routine isn’t everything.
I don’t know about you but recently I have been trying to make the most of the end of summer. With October and the beginning of school looming, it’s only fair that I’m holding on to the end of summer by doing the things I want and spending time with the people I love. However, […]
