My Self Care Routine

When you do as much as me in a day, you need a good self-care routine to keep your body feeling good; I suffered depression for a very long time, and as anyone with depression knows, your body and self-care goes down the drain, my teeth took the biggest blunt and were yellow, and orange from not brushing them in ages and once I had almost pulled myself out of depression, and I was smiling again people started commenting on them which wasn't helping so I try and keep myself now as cared for as possible and this is how

Now the products I use are 
(these don't include my shampoo and conditioner and like hair products, and they don't include my body washes)

  • St Ives blemish control apricot face scrub
  • charcoal face mask
  • charcoal face soap
  • Sensodyne
  • white gloss toothpaste
  • white gloss diamond series teeth whiting gel
  • cup o' coffee face and body mask from lush
  • Garnier Fructis repairing papaya hair food
  • exfoliating charcoal body scrub
My routine

Sunday: I start off by putting the St Ives face scrub on my face, and I start to run the shower; I apply the White Glo whiting gel to the mouth tray and put it into my mouth. I hop in and wash my face and then scrub off and wash my hair. Once my hair is washed, I put the Garnier Fructis repairing papaya hair food in my hair, and I let it sit for five minutes. While it sits, I take out the mouth tray and apply the white glo toothpaste to my toothbrush and clean my teeth off; I then put the exfoliating charcoal body scrub onto my body. I then wash my hair out and rinse the body scrub off before getting out of the shower. 


  
Monday: I use the Sensodyne on my teeth any day I am not whitening my teeth. I normally use the face soap on Mondays.  

Tuesday: I normally do a charcoal face mask just to finish off the acne stuff for the week 

Thursday: I again whiten my teeth and use the white glo toothpaste. On Thursdays, I also use the Garnier as a leave-in hair treatment which does wonders. It's normally Thursdays that I do the cup o' coffee face and body mask to leave my face feeling soft for the rest of the week.

on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, I don't do anything in my self-care, I wash my face with water twice a day after brushing my teeth, and I shower, and that's it, nothing special

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

Tips for decluttering

Decluttering can help create a more organized and stress-free living space or even just make it easier when it comes time to move.   With my recent move I spent a few months slowly decluttering and downsizing my belongings to make the final step of selling what wasn’t coming and packing what was easier and I thought I would share some of the tips that helped me as an ADHD solo mum of two declutter my house after holding on and hoarding a lot of belongings from throughout the years.  1. Start small Choose a small area to start, like a drawer or a shelf, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Work for a set amount of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to maintain focus and avoid burnout.  2. Sort items Label four boxes as "Keep," "Donate," "Sell," and "Trash." Sort all the items into these categories as you go, this also keeps things clean when you do decide to stop for the day. Remember to handle each item. 3. Evaluate necessity Ask yourself questions like:  ...
