Exfoliation. An important part of my skincare regime. A little while ago my friend who uses the same products as me (containing exfoliating beads) told me how bad these products can be for the environment. They contain plastic beads which are often not biodegradable. More recently, people such as Dougie Poynter have drawn attention to… Continue reading Don’t hate, Exfoliate…
I love positivity. I love to be around positive people. Some of the most positive people I know have been through some of the most traumatic things imaginable in life. However, I feel sometimes the positivity parade can be a negative thing. I heard the other day on the radio about a woman who’s close… Continue reading It’s okay to not be okay
I don’t want this to be a long blog post, but it’s something that I want to get off of my chest. I started last weekend with a workout. On the friday late afternoon. It kicked my butt, but I was so glad I did it. With therapy i’ve focused on my weight gain briefly,… Continue reading My name’s Stacey, not fatty.
Today was my stepfather’s birthday. Well, yesterday now, as i’m writing this past midnight. My friend Laura (Cold Tea and Baby B) made him a cake and it was delicious. She used xylitol instead of sugar, and hazelnut milk instead of milk. She’s as talented as she is considerate and thoughtful. My stepdad loves guiness… Continue reading Celebration time
Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember, you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside. ~Rachel Wolchin A decade ago, my mother and I didn’t get along as well as we do today. We have been through a lot and that has made us much closer. She’s… Continue reading My Mother, My best friend
January Blues? not this year. For the first time in a really long time, January was a great start to the year. I was well into my therapy, we’d had a lovely Christmas (despite a very unpleasant incident on Boxing day, which I won’t write about on here as this is a positive blog… Continue reading The time I won a shopping spree…
I noticed the first bloom of the year on my Olivia Austin rose today, and it reminded me that we have another trip to plan to the David Austin rose gardens and plant centre, but this time we’re taking my mum. In 2015 my boyfriend and I bought my mum her first David Austin rose… Continue reading Stop and smell the roses…
When I’m not working on props or sets for shorts, I like to be creative with other projects. Being an aspiring filmmaker I love films. My boyfriend shares this passion with me and has an extensive DVD collection almost as impressive as my own. Although I love films, I didn’t want DVD’s on display in… Continue reading We Made This…
Before my mum had the stroke, she was a keen gardener. She spent hours in her garden and it always looked so beautiful. I’d enjoy visits to the flower nurseries and garden centres with her (although she said I had expensive taste, one time I talked her into buying two palm trees… well Cordyline Australias… Continue reading I’ll be in the garden…
In February I said goodbye to my twenties and welcome the big three zero. My twenties hadn’t been great. I didn’t go travelling, I didn’t ‘find myself’, I didn’t enjoy uni. I got really poorly, I walked away from many toxic relationships with friends and family members (a choice I have never once regretted).… Continue reading Goodbye Roarin’ Twenties…
