What's your SUPERPOWER?

What’s your SUPERPOWER?

So something happened a few weeks ago that got me thinking.

I have a full time job in a local chemists. I work mainly on the perfume counter so spend my day very much in a customer service roll. I welcome customers, give advice on products and carry out transactions. I am 5 feet tall, blonde and petite, nothing that would make me stand out in my full time job. But I have a secret life outside of…

I'm Feelin' My (real) Self

I’m Feelin’ My (real) Self

I’ve been thinking lately, “what are some small things I can do to make me feel more like the person I am on the inside”. I always feel like I am holding back a part of myself from the world for fear of judgement or rejection. I want to take some small steps towards being happy with who I am and who I see in the mirror. I took the first of these small baby steps by doing something as simple as…

I forgive you,,

There are so many things I would love to say to you. I don’t because it wouldn’t change anything, and to be honest, I don’t think it would involve very many nice words. I also don’t think you realise how much of an impact you had on my life. So many things I want to say, and never will… but I will say this. I forgive you, even though you may think you did nothing wrong. You kept me up late at…

You are Amazing - Mental Health Awareness Day

It's Mental Health Awareness Day guys....let's get talking, sharing and kick depressions butt!

So today is 10th October, or in other words Mental Health Awareness Day. I have myself have suffered from depression for the last 7 years or so. I’ll admit, that yes there are times that I feel as though I am normal again, like when I was on holiday for a few days visiting family, but I know that reality will have me crashing back down to earth again and the cycle will begin itself again. But…

Flooded with thoughts

If you have been watching the news the past few days you might have seen that Northern Ireland was hit by a storm on Tuesday night which resulted in a lot of flooding incidents. I was caught up in it twice, once in my car with my boyfriend as he tried to take me to a hen party for one of my friends and the second time I was called with the NIFRS to help those affected. I was tasked, along with…

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

I have been using this foundation for over a month now and I have some thoughts on it that I wanted to share. With so many foundations on the market that make big claims to be full coverage yet weightless, it is easy to get overwhelmed when trying to decide what brand you so trust in their claims. The Magic Foundation range boasts a 15 shade range and claims to give full coverage yet a light…

Hedgehog Heroes

Could the soft coat of a dog running through your fingers, or the gentle purr of a cat help fight your depression? It might just help in more than you think it would. A few years ago I was prescribed sertraline, an antidepressant. Now I am the sort of person who doesn’t even like taking pain killers for a migrane, but I was at my wits end and I knew I needed help so I turned to my doctor for…

I crave control,

I crave control; how I am making it my mission to take back control of my life

As I am writing this, I am sitting at my desk on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I look out through the floor to ceiling windows that frame the picturesque seaside town that I call my home and watch as the waves gently caress the rocks along the shore line. Sounds like bliss, doesn’t it. Children playing without a worry in the world, elderly couples sitting on beaches scattered along the promenade,…
