Working With Jake Jamie

Hello,

You know when people say you don't know whats around the corner ? that's totally true!

I had a message from Jake Jamie asking for me to complete some work or him on a Meme he was working on for his Social Media. First I was so shocked and second of course said yes !

He was the most kindest and down to earth guy that has worked for what he has, which was a huge inspiration for me.

Please go check out his social media : @JakeJamie

I think we can all relate cant we ?

I really enjoyed the experience and very grateful that I got asked to do this.

Hope your all doing well!

2017 Resolutions

 

Hello All,

So the start of this year I made resolutions like most people do and I actually stuck to all of them... I know the shock! But this year was more realistic and life goals.

1. Learn how to drive (I started this back in May and might be passed by Christmas which I'm very proud of myself for doing as its something my nan would be very proud of. Also I never thought id be able to drive I just thought it would be hard but I love it. Will be doing a blog post once passed about my experience if anyone is interested or wanted help.)

2. Become braver (I've always been scared of the dentist and doctors for as long as I can remember and I wanted this to stop. As you get older the more you need to visit healthcare and knowing I want children in the future its something I need to get over. Turns out I was tested for high cholesterol which is in my DNA from my dad's side of the family, this meant lots of blood tests and scans. At the moment I'm better than I used to be and have forced myself to the doctors, hospital and dentist so I'm nearly there as I think ill always be that little nervous.)

3. Loose weight (from this time last year I have lost a little weight, but this is something that I think I will battle with for the rest of my life as I'm torn between feeling great and over eating on junk, its something I think I will need to learn and take that relationship away from food, slowly but surely my mind will get there, if you have nay tips please share below, would be hugely grateful.)

4. Get a new job (Start of this year I was so fed up on were I worked and felt shut in and no way out i decided to look for a job where I could have a future in. currently in accounts job and loving it)

5. Saving (This year I have been saving for the first time in my life and I'm so proud of myself, currently saving for a couple of different things and happy with how its going.)


So this year I have been successful on the resolution side and completed them all nearly so by Christmas time I can officially say I've completed everything.



Time to plan next years resolution in December, would love to know if you ticked of yours and if your planning next years resolution's :)

Hope your all well

Love
Becky

IBS and Anxiety

Hello,

I have been dealing with IBS and Anxiety for a good couple of years now and I know that alot of social media, Bloggers and Youtubers have come out and made content on the subject. I'm really happy that now more people are coming to terms with mental illness and not brushing the subject off.

I wanted to go through my story in case I can help anyone at all out there that's going through the same thing which is the most important part of this "Your Not Alone"

It started back in around 2012 when on nights out I would start to get a nervous stomach and use to think everyone was staring at me and the room always use to feel as if it was closing in.
I always thought it was just me or the alcohol I was drinking, but over time it seems to be I become nervous when I know I have an event or need to get somewhere new.

Although my IBS goes hand in hand with my Anxiety as I always feel nervous traveling or being in public and feeling like I need to rush to the loo to put it lightly, which then puts me in a anxiety state.

Back in 2014 I was diagnosed with IBS and I have struggled ever since, a girl who loves food being told to only eat certain foods was hard.
They told me to diet or follow a FodMap Diet and I always try my best but everyone has slip ups right ?

Tips for IBS

1. Always drink plenty of water to flush through your digestive system

2. Peppermint Oil tablets work wonders on wind and for any ingestion you can get from having IBS

3. Buscpan is amazing for bloating and cramps

4. Not eating over 8pm has helped me alot for each morning I get up now

Tips for Anxiety

1. Never just think of the negatives in the situation your nervous for (you can always make out it will be 10 times worse and that's not always the case)

2. I listen to calming apps on my i-phone when im traveling to calm me and take my mind off my IBS

3. If things become worse - take yourself away from the situation for 5-10 minutes (for example when I was out in a pub or club I would just sit outside or in the toilets and gather my thoughts before continuing)

4. I have now found out Netflix have a download bit so you can watch on the go so I will download a film and watch it on the way to work and back to take my mind off IBS symptoms

If you are struggling with any mental health or illness please see someone and talk to someone, easier said than done I know but its truly the best way to get it off your chest and get help for easier day to day life.
