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.

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. Sleep might feel elusive. This is because we haven’t had enough rest during the day or not enough of the right type of rest.

The Reason Why ‘Thinking Positive’ Isn’t Always Easy

The negative stuff tends to shine like a beacon, roar like a lion and refuse to retreat.

Body-Doubling For When You’re Struggling to Focus OR Get Started On Tasks

You know how you hear about something new and then you hear about the same thing a few more times before you really take note? I was the same with Schitt's Creek and in more recent times, body-doubling. The term 'body-doubling' is one I've only just learned about but it's a notion I recognise as a mechanism I've used as far as I can remember to focus and get started on things.

How To Choose Your ‘Word Of The Year’

Last week I shared what my word of 2023 was and how staying committed to it changed a great deal in my life. It was the first time I'd ever made a beginning-of-the-year intention and stuck with it.
