I started a new drug during the week… It went well! But today I just can’t seem to wake up. Maybe it’s just my body adjusting to a new thing, or could be from the sedation I had with a colonoscopy too. Plus the travelling to Sydney. It’s not ideal…

Hiccups (Autoimmune Diseases + Crohn’s) and Updates
I don’t check in here with my Crohn’s as much these days because generally I am pretty well and I manage a lot of my Crohn’s myself… but little hiccups do pop up now and then. I find writing out my issues quite good for my brain. It helps me…
Let’s talk about CBD oil
CBD oil…. Yep, let’s chat about that. Since before Christmas I’ve been talking Cannabidiol Oil. Full disclosure. I am no expert, no medical professional, and I am not a recreational drug taker. Never have been. But I’m all for medicinal products to help me. I’m proactive. Background – I’ve had…
Around here lately
I have not done a catch up on here in ages! I seem to spend most of my time on Instagram stories so then I don’t get a chance to update here. I’ll bullet point some stuff – Lockdown has been good for me. I’m used to being on my…
The never ending Crohn’s Disease symptoms
This post is for anyone who has an auto immune disease…. it’s forever there. You know what it’s like! You look good on the outside and you’re pretty capable of most day-to-day activities but every few weeks something kicks you up the bum and reminds you you still have a…
I can’t live without these supplements
For about 12 months I’d been following the Happy Hormones Facebook group. This is run by Lisa Curry. Head over there and check it out. I have no association with them, nor is this paid. Just sharing the love! I’d read hundreds and hundreds of success stories from women with…
Essential oils for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 23 years. I have a colostomy bag. So, I’ve had my fair share of rotten times. I know lots about this disease and am pretty confident in talking about my own journey and changes I’ve made to help me feel better. I’m no expert and…
DIY Magnesium oil for adults and children
Magnesium is a vital mineral and I have read that many of us are deficient. Like 50-80%! I thought maybe I was. I’ve had some issues with my ankles over the past month – swollen and aching. It could be residual immune problems from Crohn’s Disease, but I wanted to…
How is 2019 looking for you?
I had a pretty epic 2018. I won’t forget it in a hurry (it’s not done yet though!). I am truly grateful for this year. A lot happened and I discovered a lot about myself. If you visit here often you will know that I had permanent colostomy surgery in…
8 ways to stay positive when you’re sick
Sometimes the world gets rough. Sickness takes over and you feel down in the dumps. We’ve all been sick at some stage and usually it passes with a cold or a bug. But if you do have a long term illness or disease it’s a different challenge. I’ve had Crohn’s Disease…
Can you thrive with a chronic illness?
This is a long one today! If you have a chronic illness then you know you just can’t escape it. It’s with you forever, and it will show up day after day. It’s like a job you hate, but you are stuck with it. I have a 16 year old…
Find your flow and row, row, row
I saw this quote on Pinterest and it really struck a chord with me! Find your flow and row, row, row. I love it. YES, that’s what I am doing right now. If you are on my email list you would have received a letter from me last week with…
I just want you to be well : doTERRA oils
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me bang on about doTERRA essential oils lately. I know I am late to the party (because you’re telling me you love them already!). BUT if you’re new then today I have a quick explanation on how you can get…
My first new moon cacao ceremony + 13th rite of the womb
In a bid to get out and about more, last week I saw a little workshop pop up in my Facebook feed. A lovely girl (Sam from Willow Metta) was hosting it and for some reason I just clicked on it and booked myself in. If you read my latest…
I’m back! And I’m happy it’s over… (colostomy surgery)
I just want to start by saying thank you to everyone who messaged me over the last few weeks. Your support has been wonderful and it really helped. If you’re new to this blog I’ve written a few posts here, but just quickly, I’ve had Crohn’s Disease since I was…
