What I learned from my first pregnancy

It took me so long to write this because my laptop lost internet and I didn’t know how to write this in a way it would make sense and because when writing about a pregnancy you lost, it can be hard not to start to cry, especially when you have to think back to all the memories.

1.) Life is too short
Everyone says this, but it took me to get pregnant at 14 to realise it was true. I was ready to be a mum, not that everyone agreed with my decision, but I was. It wasn’t that made me realise it; it was losing them that made me realise, I knew pregnancy lose was a risk for me; my mum had suffered one before, and my grandma on my dads' side had a stillborn plus with my age and my endometriosis I knew it was a risk but realising that my baby’s had died 1 day off being 8 weeks pregnant made me realise that’s baby's life was gone before it even really began. 

2.) that not all teenage pregnancy are the same
You here all these stories of teen mums losing almost all their friends and people abusing them about it ect but that wasn’t the case for me. If anything, it made my friendships stronger and gave me more. I was never abused for it; I was told I was stupid for landing up pregnant at 14 and that I shouldn’t go through with it and that I was a slut, but nothing as extreme as online bullying, being spat on ca.t

3.) that even at only weeks, it is horrible
I always heard of morning sickness starting early, but I never got that much of it. I mean, I felt sick all day long, but I never once threw up, which was a relief. Still, by the time I was 6 weeks pregnant, I had a bump noticeable enough that if I was in a single, you could see it, I couldn’t even get over a gate, and when I mean a gate, I mean an old door laying down on its side which would be the easiest thing in the world for me with my long legs. Still, it made me want to sleep then and there.

Now I know there’s probably way more that I learned, but I think that will be enough for now due to not being able to think straight or see straight for that fact.

Rebranding my business

I started  BeautyQueens Beautys back in April 2019, and nothing really came off it. I made an Instagram account, had business cards made, and even tried to sell my dream catchers.  Sadly, in my business's lifespan, I only sold a total of about five dream catchers, which left a lot of stock. In January, I decided to try and rebrand my business; this post is what I have done so far to rebrand my business and what my next steps are. I started by removing all my old posts and photos. I saved the best images, made them into better-looking posts, and just put them straight onto the Facebook page. I spent about two hours editing the photos, thinking of the captions and tags to get the best coverage. At the moment, I am making a dreamcatcher for my child, which is one of my most complicated dream catchers yet. When the dream catcher is finished, I will be posting it on Tiktok to try and get more public attention on my creations as well as starting to list them online for sale through...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

  Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language. I now have had a streak since the 10th April 2022 without missing a day and have learned a lot so I though I would compile a list of the benefits of learning a new language and some tips on how to do it for those of you who also want to learn another language.  Benefits of learning a new language 1. Cognitive enhancement: Learning a new language can boost your memory and recall abilities. Multilingual individuals also tend to have improved problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 2. Cultural Awareness: Language learning provides a deeper understanding of other cultures and perspectives. Knowing the local language also enriches travel experiences and interactions with locals. 3. Career Advantages: Being bilingual or multilingual opens up more job opportunities and can lead to higher...
