Please don’t be alarmed, I seem to have done that thing again. The one where I start writing with good intentions, but never hit publish because I started over thinking things. In an attempt to share this post before the year gets away from me, here’s a really quick looks at my ins and outs for 2026 (and how I went with the ones I shared for 2025). We’ll recap 2025 a little later on, otherwise this will never see the light of day. View Post
I shared my “ins and outs” for 2024 in April last year and then despite the best of intentions, promptly stopped posting because I’d just been told I was being made redundant. A lot of my self worth was tied up in my work – no surprise, because I’d poured almost ten years of myself into it – and I felt really lost and unsure of myself and my abilities. I wasn’t allowed to talk about it, and my anger and complete devastation over the situation took over every waking moment. View Post
Last year I shared my “ins and outs” for 2023 and as someone who loves a list, I found it handy to sum up a whole bunch of things I wanted more of or less of in my life. It made it much easier for me to prioritise things that aligned with those goals (for lack of a better word) and I found myself coming back to look at that list throughout the year.
Prioritising my wellbeing was at the top of my 2023 “in” list which is admittedly very broad, but encompassed a few things that I was working on, like getting more sleep (did not happen), reducing stress (literally made myself sick on more than one occasion from stress) View Post
Even though it’s 2022 and by now we should all know better, some people insist on making comments about other people’s bodies. How big or small they are, how they’ve changed, unsolicited opinions … yuck. Can we just not? Over the years I’ve gotten better at setting boundaries around how other people talk about my body, and how they talk about bodies around me. Part of this has come around from being a parent, and part of it because I got to a point where I realised that I don’t have to tolerate other people disrespecting my body.
We are heading in to the holidays and some of us will be seeing family members who like to make comments about our bodies. We are also heading in summer in Aotearoa New Zealand, and on top of that a new year. Basically it’s prime time for diet chat, unsolicited comments and general body bullshit. View Post
Some easy sustainable swaps for your bathroom
Over the last few years I’ve been challenging myself to be more considerate of the waste that I create (and more specifically single use plastics). I talk a lot on Instagram about remembering to take your reusable cup to get coffee, but there are other easy sustainable swaps I’ve made. Seeing as it’s Earth Day, I thought I’d share them on here. It’s good time to consider how we can be kinder to our environment. If you can think of any other easy sustainable swaps, let me know View Post
