How to Make Sure You’re Getting the 7 Types of Rest You Need

Rest doesn’t just occur when we’re asleep. In fact, if we spend our days zipping and zooming from one task to another, multi-tasking and switching between tasks willy-nilly, then when we lay down at night, our brain will probably start swimming through all that happened, might happen, or will happen.

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.

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.

A Letter To You If You Don’t Have ‘A Village’

Dear You, They say "It takes a village" and you hate that saying because it's a stark and painful reminder that you don't have one. It hurts, it rankles and it smarts doesn't it?! I know that you often feel alone, depleted, invisible and torn. As though there's nowhere or no one in which to turn for help. You might at times feel jealous of those who do have support. Anger, too, at your circumstances. Regret for the choices you may have made. Despair at the choices which felt as though they were taken from you. Exhaustion at the monotony of it all, wishing and wanting and needing a break.
