Getting into the Christmas spirit is feeling a lot harder for most people this year. I am seeing so many people saying they are just not feeling it even with the relaxed rules during the pandemic here in the UK. I know for me, I feel a little like I am going through the motions, and it has felt like that for a little while. However, this year with a global pandemic, and with a little break in the rules,…
Its never easy dealing with depression at Christmas, but for so many it is reality so its important we talk about it. I have been hit with a flare of my own depression this week and I couldn’t let it pass without commenting on it. The thing that triggered my depression was planning to put up our Christmas decorations. It was something that to be honest I had been putting off, but I had wanted to make the place look…
Hey everybody! Well we are just days away from the big day, today is winter solstice and the days are dark, the weather is not nice and everyone is under pressure to have the ‘perfect’ day! But not everyone has someone to spend the day with, not everyone has a home, not everyone has a family who support their sexuality or gender and there are people who will not be safe this holiday season so here is a list of…
Hey everybody! Well now if you have been reading my blog for a while, you might be aware that Christmas is a very difficult time for me since my Grandparents passed away. It just was always a time that was very focused on them and I have been dreading it to be honest. But then as I looked back over my week, as I always do on a Friday, I realised that I might actually be feeling happy at Christmas!…
Hey everybody! Well December has arrived, and we are all reflecting back on the year, while either dreading or getting excited for Christmas. As we look back we realise we all have times where we struggle but it is rarely all one way or the other, life is just full of ups and downs. Over the last few days I have been thinking back, and a good way of doing this I realised was to look at my vision board….
Hey there butterflies! It can be so hard for the disabled, or housebound people to find nice presents to buy this time of year without facing the crowds. I have decided to put together a gift guide of small online shops that I think are great for finding nice presents and I actually shop there too! None of these are sponsored in any way but I will state if anything was sent to me for free or anything as I…
Hey everybody! So it is getting closer to Christmas, with plans for visiting relatives and going out for dinner on the day as well as visiting my elderly Nan are all hovering over me. Of course, my body has chosen right now to get a cold and to hit me hard with fatigue that leaves me laying on the sofa unable to think straight no matter get dinner going! My wonderful husband has epilepsy and his medications make him drowsy…
Hey everybody! Well it is that time of year again, I have cards to make, presents to wrap and right now I just want to fast forward to January and be done with it! Now do not get me wrong I am not a Christmas hater and I am not one to be compared to The Grinch at all! In fact, I always loved this time of year and looked forward to seeing my family and giving presents to people…
Hey guys! First of all I want to say that I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day if you celebrate and that you are enjoying the holiday season! My Christmas day was really nice, I honestly was very tearful Christmas eve because of missing my Grandad and wishing he was here. However, Christmas day my Dad and his girlfriend Linda bought my Nan over and we opened presents. I made everything I gave this year and I think…
Hey everybody Merry Christmas and Blessed Yule!! YESTERDAY I GOT TO SEE ROGUE ONE!!!! (No spoilers) It was amazing we saw it in 3D which I highly recommend because some of the scenes really pop out and you feel more a part of it. I fell in love with Jyn Erso she was badass and incredible so inspiring and I just love females taking charge and Star Wars is always good with those characters. I will say though that there…
