Have you ever wondered what life with ulcerative colitis or crohns might be like? Aside from reading about it, and never totally being able to understand, because in all honesty, like they say "you don't get it, until you get it". However I wouldn't wish it upon even my worst enemy, but, I know one…
An update regarding my hair depressing/issue.. I have started washing my hair in very cold water, which after my second time I actually quite enjoyed. I do it the old fashioned way and wash my hair bent over forward so the water only gets on my head, then I wrap it up and jump in…

I don't know if I can share this video on social media so click onto my blog and watch it! I got this idea a while back for this special day, and me being silly decided it would be fun, also, me being as last minute as I can be, did't really give myself as…
I'm sorry if I haven't replied to messages recently..I feel bad about it, I promise! The past week or two haven't been fun. I have been in a flare up. My UC has been playing havoc with my body. I am so stress sensitive, as well as lack of sleep and bad food and drink…
