Self-Care For When Life Gives You Lemons

We’ve all had ‘those’ days which have rolled into two, maybe three, possibly a week, a month, a year – a stretch of time when it feels as though life is just pelting lemons at us, repeatedly. A chaotic patch of life which tests our resolve to the limit. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong. We’re beyond stressed. We’re at our wits’ end. Kerplunked.

THE Fatigue-Fighting Blueberry Smoothie

I'm so happy with this recipe because I ended up with a delicious, creamy, satisfying, well-balanced, energy-boosting concoction. The combination of antioxidants, natural sugars, healthy fats, fibre, and essential nutrients from these ingredients seems to have helped me to combat both physical and mental fatigue.

How We Handle Eczema Flare-Ups In Our House

Writing about Eczema might seem like a complete u-turn in the content I ordinarily write but my blogging roots are in a) health and beauty (hello, Beach Bum Beauty Blog circa 2009), and, b) writing about what I've gone through (hello, The Blurt Foundation 2011 - 2022) first-hand or through parenting. So, Eczema, then. Eczema is a skin condition which can cause inflammation in the skin, making it sore, itchy, and dry.
