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...

How I manage to run three blogs

   Although in 2024 I am only updating two of my three blogs I still thought I would write this blog post as is.  It’s no easy task running three blogs on totally different subjects while maintaining an upload schedule you can stick to but this is how I manage.  I spend one week a year working on my blogs; that’s right only a week. Here is a breakdown so you can better understand how I do this.  Day one: I will look all over the internet and my own brain coming up with ideas for my blog posts  Day two: I chose twelve ideas for each blog and write down what I want to include in my post   Day three: I will make blog graphics up for each post Day four: I will write and edit my writing blog Day five: write and edit main blog  Day six: write and edit endometriosis blog  Day seven: finish up any posts I didn’t get too.  I spend maybe a total of ten hours in that week period working on my blog; I preschedule them so that I don’t have to even th...

How I hid my pregnancy

  It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell.  I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for.  Clothing and appearance I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie.  Behaviour I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue). Situational adjustments I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people mi...
