• LISTEN UP #2 – WEEKLY INSTALMENT

  Posted at 6:01 pm by Holly, on October 17, 2018

  

  Last week I published my very first podcast – which was an introduction to what my little series would include, along with a few little light hearted stories for good measure.

  I enjoyed it very much because I can just chat into my iPad freely and then add some music at the start and the end and then submit it on a Wednesday – which is today.

  I just picked the middle of the week because that’s generally when people need a bit of a pick me up.

  So this week I focused on self love and looking at other then pampering what could help. I think I came up with a good ten tips.

  I have been verified on iTunes now so if you have apple here is the link

  10 SELF LOVE TIPS ON ITUNES PODCAST

  If you don’t here’s a clickable podcast on soundcloud – pretty sure if you press the play button on it then it will just play on here.

  I will update you next week once I’ve uploaded it. Please feel free to mention some things you wouldn’t mind listening to on there I’m a very open person.

  Til next time

  Much loves xx

  I have been wanting to do this for a while and going back a few years i did give it a go but didn’t have the confidence i do now and deleted them.

  I have just published my first podcast and i absolutely love it. Since i was able to talk it’s been my favourite pastime. Talking that is not podcasting 🙈

  

  So here it is. It would mean the world if you would take a listen.

  IF YOU HAVE APPLE CLICK HERE FOR PODCAST

  Alternatively you can click down below

  I will be uploading every Wednesday. So i will of course notify you on here when a new episode goes up.

  Feedback is always welcomed.

  Til next time my beauts

• Aunt Flo Essentials

  Posted at 1:05 pm by Holly, on August 4, 2018

  

  Every second human will experience the lovely gift we get monthly, that is aunt flo – i am seriously being sarcastic. I dread mine every time… since the age of 11. Early starter i know.

  Since i am due mine any day now i thought i would do a post of all the essentials i think are needed to get you through the week from hell.

  

  Depending on how heavy your period is and your preference of protection I’ve included the ones that will get you through every stage of it. I do think that they should be free for all as not every one can afford them. Especially if there is alot in their family or their country is poor/ do not have them readily available.

  I remember having mine for nearly a year as the injection buggered up my cycle and i can’t believe how much i spent on them.

  

  If you get pain not just targeted to your tummy then any of these will help – with the headaches, the backache and any other pain that presents itself.

  

  Of course not everyone likes taking pain relief in the form of tablets. So heat pads come in handy when you are on the go and last from 8-12 hours. A hot water bottle is great for when you are curled up on the sofa or in bed. Wheat heat pads are for mild pain and are microwavable.

  

  Due to your cravings leading up to and on your period days a nice selection of chocolate will do the job. Your horemones are here there and everywhere so a good tearjerker of a film is always a must with a big box of tissues.

  Thanks for stopping by, if your a woman i sympathise with you. If your a man cut us some slack.

• Letter board picks

  Posted at 6:31 pm by Holly, on August 3, 2018

  

  I bought myself a Letter Board a few months ago now to add a bit of character to my room to either inspire or make me laugh. I have a Pinterest board of some of my favourite finds so i thought I’d share them with you here.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I did have a lot more but thought I’d just put a few on.

  You can pick up some cheap ones from places like Home Bargains, New look and Primark. I got mine from trusty old Amazon and got a felt background one instead of plastic. It depends on your preference.

  Hope you’ve all had a fab Friday.

  Heres to a lovely weekend xx

• A year ago today

  Posted at 10:29 am by Holly, on July 20, 2018

  

  Some things in life are not planned.
  This definitely wasn’t.
  One year ago today was when my legs first went into paralysis. I couldn’t move them and had no idea why…

  All those blue light visits to hospital and they finally gave it a name FND (functional neurological disorder).

  Still a year on i don’t know why it happened and nor do the professionals. I have to live and hope that one day i can wave bye bye to my wheelchair and get back to some sort of normality.

  Thank you everyone who’s been thorough this with me and kept me smiling. It means the world xxx

• Body Beautiful

  Posted at 8:49 pm by Holly, on July 18, 2018

  

  You know the moment you can stand infront of the mirror and stare at your reflection and think hmm it’s not a bad looking body after all. That’s when you know that body confidence is starting to grow from inside you.

  I’ve found some inspiration on good old Pinterest with some quotes that will help you recognise the true body beautiful that is yours and then use them to motivate that self love in you.

  

  

  

  

  

  I can hold my hands up now and say after years of not loving my imperfect body you my darling body you’re bloody awesome. Operation scars, cellulite, stretch marks and the odd spots.

  I give you this mission to find the body beautiful within you too.

• Chase your dreams

  Posted at 5:00 pm by Holly, on July 12, 2018

  

  you are sat there and a Eureka moment happens, or you wake up and have the most wonderful idea running through your mind at a thousand miles an hour.

  Quick, grab a pen and paper and get it down on there before it vanishes into thin air.

  Put down as much detail as you can about your dream and plan on making it a reality. You know dreams don’t come true if you don’t put in a little effort. If only it was that easy

  

  I am working towards one of my dreams right now. I am writing my second book. I already wrote one about my bullying at school/ a few years after. This time it’s going to be a poetry book as I absolutely love words with meaning. It’s going to be relatable to almost everyone hopefully. I am in the planning process so will keep you updated as I work towards achieving my dream.

  

  Don’t let them pass you by. Your dream was given to you for a reason.

  Of course, if they were bad dreams please don’t chase those, let them bugger off into nothingness. Only the good ones deserve your time.

  In Gabrielle’s words….dreams can come true

  Thanks for stopping by

  Til next time…

• Hello July

  Posted at 8:16 pm by Holly, on July 1, 2018

  

  Hello and welcome to July.

  As I’m writing this its the 1st day of the month.

  Its been a boiling hot day yet again, so i haven’t been able to sit in the cool and write until now which is 9pm to be precise.

  I am one of those people that are all about starting the month on a good note.

  I’m taking a week off Facebook so i can concentrate on me and my wellbeing and not worry about what others are doing/moaning about.

  I am not going to let myself be walked over like a mug. I deserve better, so the guy who I’ve been swooning over has had far too many ‘I’ll let you offs’. I need someone who worships the ground i walk on…more like wheel myself on ha ha.

  This month is all about self love and self care for me. I don’t want added stress. I need to focus on making me a priority for once.

  Do this for yourself too. Know your worth and add tax as they say – who ever they is.

  Heres to a lovely July for us all

  Thanks for stopping by

  Til next time…

• Dear Reader

  Posted at 10:53 am by Holly, on June 27, 2018

  

  From me to you,

  I want you to know that in life you are going to stumble, and sometimes actually fall. The thing you have to do is not wallow in it, you need to get back up and get on with it. The only person that can achieve your goal is you.

  Take a step back if you need to an evaluate, but never give up. There is so little time in a day really when you think about it, and to of wasted your time throwing away a goal you were working so hard towards is kinda silly, right?

  If everyone threw in the towel when things slipped up/didn’t go their way we would be living in a really miserable place. Break it down into small manageable goals, and before you know it you will have a big ‘I DID IT’ tick beside it.

  You’d feel so proud of yourself for not giving up at the first fallen hurdle.

  Of course life is going to throw you crap, you just got to be ready to say… Not my crap and get your head in the game so to speak.

  Three final words of this post I am going to leave you with and I want you to always have them in the back of your mind when you have your sights set on something.

  

  Thanks for stopping by

  Til next time…
