The product of January


Moroccan Oil.

It needs no other description. I'm sure everyone has heard of or used this product already. I discovered this at the rear end of 2016 and it truly has improved my self confidence. 

Last year I was told I had a heart condition (SVT) which causes my heart to spike to 250+ beats per minute on the rare occasion. I had two episodes of SVT in the space of a month which means I'm left taking beta-blocker medication. I'm only 21. Any how back to the real story, The new medication did some damage to my hair, it was falling out and becoming very very dry. I've never had dry or damaged hair before so I really had to get it sorted.

I scrolled through amazon and purchased a bottle of Moroccan oil and honestly my life has changed. I put the oil through my hair around an hour before taking a shower. After only one treatment my hair was almost frizz-less. I could run my hands through my hair and not cringe at how dead it felt. 

So for anyone out there suffering from damaged, dry, broken or health affected hair (this includes STRESS) pop this on your hair before you shower and watch the change happen!

In the words of... MICHELLE OBAMA



"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am."

Welcome.



Hey there,

long time no speak. I've deleted all my old, cringe worthy posts and decided to start afresh for 2017. That is this first month of this oddly numbered year (odd years make me very uncomfortable) done and dusted and a lot has changed for me so far. I quit my job.

For years I have been a manager in a local sandwich shop - a rather famous one at that. Being a manager is stressful, tiring and emotionally challenging. Especially so young. It was a brilliant job, don't get me wrong, however the nature of the job simply took it's tole on my health.

I'm an anxious person. I strive to do my best twentyfour-seven. And when you run a busy shop you have to bear the brunt and take a heck of a load of criticism. I know, I know that comes with every job but it is such a responsibility running a whole shop. A long with a medium sized work force just isn't the correct career choice for me.

In 2016 I got engaged, turned 21, moved into my own flat with my man and truly decided it is time for me to follow the career I have been striving towards. I don't want to be sitting at night dreading getting up in the morning. I want to be happy that I'm earning money and keeping my mental health in tact.

I'm currently unemployed after leaving my job but that's okay. I am ashamed, don't get me wrong but I'm not depressed, stressed and anxious like I was and that's a plus side. For 21 years I put my mental health to the back and just forgot about it, hoping the depressed thoughts would go away. They don't. They come back in the worst possible way. I hate speaking about the way I feel. I hate it. Taking some time to myself has been the best therapy for me.

So what is to be expected from this blog in 2017? EVERYTHING! Reviews, recommendations, thoughts in my brain just everything.

So hit the subscribe button and come a long on this journey with me as I fill my large amount of spare time pouring my thoughts into this keyboard.
