                          BODY CONFIDENCE POST: 




I have always had issues with the way my body looks/looked, I've always felt my hips are too wide, my lips are too big, and why does my belly look like that? why does it stick out when I wear jeans? why do I not look like her! being a teenager was hard because there was all the woman who looked like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera or her being a 5ft 7 supermodel with long blonde hair all the women back in the 2000s but in this generation its about natural beauty and bigger girls who are a size 14 and upwards? which I think is so much better for the younger generation because they want to be a better size like their friends or famous people. I'm not saying that eating disorders don't exist anymore because there are between 1.25 and 3.4 million people in the Uk are affected by an eating disorder. around 25% of those affected by an eating disorder are male. which is really really sad! and the age is around 12-25... I'm very much aware of the consequences of an eating disorder I have had one myself and I know quite a lot of other people who have had one or still have one, it's a horrible mental illness! I think all body shapes are beautiful, I hate when my friends say oh I'm not ready for summer like they're packing a bag ready to go on holiday!!  if you have a body! you are ready for summer, please wear that outfit that is still new with tags on please wear the crazy-colored hoodie that you wore once in the house when you were cold. 


It took me all my life to be okay with my body, it holds my insides, of course, I'm going to have a little jiggle when I walk or sit down, body fat is normal!  yeah it's nice and healthy when your BMI is the right type for your body but it's not the end of the world if it isn't. people look at the numbers and feel like their world isn't aligned. when there is more to life than what they say! still stay healthy but their numbers are not going to be what people talk about when you are no longer with them. so have fun and eat that piece of cake with the heart on top (unless you are diabetic then maybe stay away!) I guess what I'm trying to say in this post is you are beautiful babe! πŸ’— below ill share some of my body-positive photos!

chronic illness rant.

 



                                            CHRONIC ILLNESSES 


I don't actually know how long I have had chronic illnesses, I just know it spiraled out of control when I was born, I don't remember my illnesses back then as I was so young but dating back to 1986 my records have been thick! things I didn't even know about. until I had to get my medical records.. when I got run over when I was 14 I have just felt a little up and down since then, but since getting a lot older I can feel it! like Mann, I can really feel it, this sounds like a sob story, but I just wanted to point out that chronic illnesses, invisible illnesses are not always shown on the outside, yeah with some people it's obvious as they have some sort of aid with them either it being a dog, a wheelchair or even a person with them.  i always put a lot of pressure on myself whether it's going out to somebody's party, going on an outing, or even going to clean somebody's house I feel like I need to be in good form always no matter what pain is going on on the inside. Every day I wake up tired and unable to keep going, I have to try my best even if it's hurting me or harming me! sometimes I wake up I don't even want to get out of bed, I don't even want to look at a screen. but I do I just get up and carry on no matter what is happing...  there was a time of had forgotten to take one of my medications for a whole 4 day because I had covid and it took me into a bad bad state where I just couldn't move out of bed for days! I just couldn't eat, or even drink, and another time when I didn't have covid i forgot to take my thyroid medication, my body went into shock my whole body just gave up!  i don't actually know what this post is about or even what the theme is all I know is that chronic illnesses are horrible, so please please be kind when people are telling you they are poorly. don't say oh again! please be kind, ask them what they need and are getting enough to drink. everybody is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

-Adventure post {buildings, landscape & nature and all the things in-between}

 

    A MOVING MINDSET... 22nd-28th


With the start of summer and summer solstice, it was lovely to go on a little adventure, it's been such a strange and sad couple of months that have made such a shift in my mindset for me... I don't even need to write how much we have all had to deal with over the last year. Yet alone dealing with covid and having covid myself pretty bad. So for me, it was a lovely time to just slow down, and not have to worry about other people around me and the little things like that little bit of messiness around me. Just go on an adventure and forget about everything at home. I take photographs of everything, and I mean something simple like the way a flower has fallen onto the ground. one of my family members looking cute near the trees. food, books, anything. but this isn't just a random post of the little things in life that have caught my eye (not saying there aren't going to be photos of flowers or my husband near a tree haha) this is a little photo album of the time I went to Inverness to look at future villages to move to!. i will include some of the names of the villages we went to and the places and then at the end, some random ones enjoy.. sweetie. <3





















the photos above are Nairn beach and fort George..  this is where we went on the first day which was the 22nd of June. out of the 12th places, we visited Nairn was at the top.  fun fact Charlie Chaplin used to visit Nairn every year for his holiday, and tbh I really don't blame him it's such a beautiful little town with all the shops you could ever need, food shops, hippy shops, museums, vape shops you name it its there!















    

On the second day, we went to a place in munlochy to visit the clootie well, which is a pagan healing place, where people will hag clootie pieces on trees to represent their and there bodies to represent their health problems and wish for healing themselves.. simply tie something to a tree and then find a running natural stream and drink from them or wash your face. I saw somebody wash their whole head in there lol.. its sort of like a healing pagan ritual. i loved the place it had such a lovely calm feeling there. and i even meditated for 5 mins before we headed back up to the car. after.. 














   

then on the 3rd day, we went to the place i have ALWAYS wanted to visit since being a little girl and that is loch ness! Yes, your girl went to loch ness. It's the most beautiful place i have ever been to in the world and the tales are true it is such a beautiful happy place where all your dreams come true, it's like Disney land in Scotland! lol well, it was to me. we had the most amazing fish and chips there, the place was stunning. i didn't find the loch ness monster unfortunately but I did bring back the most amazing little squishy loch ness monster teddy! if this is the place that you have always wanted to go to GO pack your bags it is amazing you will not be disappointed i promise!! 






















the 4th day was such another magical day we went to a fairy glen falls which was the prettiest waterfall i have ever been to! it had such a lovely walk quite a hike to get to the second waterfall but it was definitely worth the 1-hour hike up to the top...  there was also a lot of nature and little birdies hopping away! and obviously, there were fairy's there they were just hiding lol! 
























on the last day, we went to a couple more places that we wanted to visit too.. these places were worth the wait. Clava Cairns is a place where ancient remains were left of. this had a really sad feeling in some places but a happy and calm feeling in other places.  it really was a sad feeling. because of all the people who were buried there. the site is a least 4000 years old and was built in 2000BC..  the next place we went to was the botanical gardens this was so beautiful! made me sneeze a lot from all the live pollen but the things i saw there was aaaaamzig all the plant babies were sooo pretty and i adored that they had a cactus garden/greenhouse it was so hot in there i felt light-headed but the size of them was incredible I was so shocked and wish i could take them all home! <3   



























Randomn photo time!!
