Autumn is definitely upon us… the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder and the leaves on the trees are turning all colours of red and gold. While I do love this time of year I normally dread the drudgery of winter (I’m a cold creature). But this year I’ve decided I’m going […]
Health Update: Why I Attended A Clear Passage Clinic for my Crohn’s Disease
Posted on August 21, 2016 1 Comment
I rarely go into too much detail on the blog about my current state of health but a lot has happened this year so thought it was worth a post or two. I’ve suffered with my stomach since I was in my teens. Told that it was ‘probably just IBS’ I put up with the […]

1 Health is a journey not a destination While some people go into remission for years and say ‘I’m cured’, I personally don’t think you can ever say you are ‘cured’ of a chronic condition.

I feel like I’m one of those animals who tends to come out in the spring and summer and hibernates in the winter months. I love this time of year and try to get outside as much as possible. But did you know that getting outside in nature can actually improve your health and happiness? […]
Go On, Treat Yo’self – It’s Vital For Health and Happiness

When I talk about treating yo’self, what I’m really talking about is self-care.

In my last post, I gave a round-up of some great anti-inflammatory foods. One that I personally use every day is turmeric. This golden spice has a warm, peppery flavour and is the main spice in curry. Not only does it look and taste great, it has been said to be the most powerful herb […]
