Cringey title, I know. However I feel like I'm in need of a vent sesh.

Over the past month I've had a surge of determination to finally get myself together and start blogging properly, instead of just posting pictures here and there on Instagram.  I realised the reason I've never taken blogging seriously is because I've never liked the pictures I produced, and I've sussed the reason why being down to how I look. One thing I've noticed recently is that I've kind of 'let myself go', weight wise and health wise. So when I came back from holiday last month I decided to get fit, which meant joining the most expensive gym in town to force me to absolutely smash it and make the most of my money basically, and so far it's going well! I'm not weighing myself (mainly because I have no clue where the scales are) but I'm already starting to see a difference! My clothes are getting bigger and my confidence is going UP. 

All my besties will know me to be on a diet 70% of the time (30% being after nights out absorbing the alcohol with any carb I can find) and that I'm a pretty confident person, but I want to make a change. I want to feel like I look the best I possibly can (for the moment without surgery, we all know a nose job will happen one day) and then I feel like I will be 100% happy in my skin, I know it sounds extremely shallow but it's just how I am. I've always been into my health foods but now I'm starting to think 'is that good for me?' before I eat anything at the moment and only want foods that will fuel me to make me stronger in the gym. We all have these moments where we are dedicated to eating well, but usually for me it's over after a week. I've managed to keep this up for a month now and can actually see it staying apart of my lifestyle.

Another perk to this is that I feel more confident taking pictures to post! I like the content I'm producing now more than ever and when people take pictures for me I'm like 'oh my god YES' and feel excited to post! I've always put off blogging by saying 'oh I'll start it after that' or ''what's the point, there's so many bloggers already', but now that I know the reasons why I've never truly carried it on I'm going to absolutely smash it. So yeah, I'm going to keep this up and keep my confidence growing bigger and bigger.

Expect to see a lot more content and a lot more of me, as it's only up from here hunnies.

Peace and Love, I now need to shower and get snug in pjs.

HOW I STAY HEALTHY IN SPRING

    

This post is all about simple herbal remedies I use to stay healthy when a cold hits and how I get back to my normal self with the help of some immunity boosting remedies. 

Unfortunetly I've been caught by the Spring cold, and just when I've started back at uni which is a major bummer. I've not always been one of those people that believed in herbal remedies, however now that I'm older I've started to think a bit more hippy about things and think my body is telling me I need a reality check and there's a reason I'm feeling this way (trust me I've wanted to give in to that trusty paracetamol multiple times) so yeah these are a few bits I've found work best to me! 

I've found that B12 tablets have helped to give me a major mental boost when fighting this cold. They are commonly used by vegetarians as a supplement that's usually found in fish, dairy and meats. It basically helps to fight fatigue and tiredness to keep up going throughout the day.

 I pop two of these 'bad boys' every morning and have seen a real change!

Now onto the coconut oil, we all know it's a major craze at the moment that can be used for EVERYTHNG. I've found myself getting into oil pulling of late, this helps to remove bacteria from your mouth and actually helps to reduce the bad bacteria in your body. All you do is scoop out a large teaspoon of the hard coconut oil and put it in your mouth, then swish it around until it dissolves pulling it through your teeth (it's always an amazing natural teeth whitener!), then spit it out (I suggest spitting it into a tissue then putting it in the bin as the oil can clog sink drains). After this I brush my teeth then rinse my mouth with warm water to remove all of the excess oil. I've been doing this twice a day at the moment to seriously fight the cold! 

I've never been into drinking medicine as they taste so atificial and kind of bad for me? HOWEVER, this Echinacea drink has changed the game. It's a completely herbal medicine that targets flu symptoms, you simply put a 5ml teaspoon into hot water and drink it 5 times a day (I know it sounds like a lot but it actually works! The quick turnaround is AMAZING). After 3 days you up the dose to 10ml but only have three drinks a day. But yeah! This is working so well for me at the moment and I started to 100% better after a day! And it's all herbal so you feel alright about drinking so much of it, right? 

Anyway, hope these remedies help to keep you healthy and feel better when a nasty cold strikes!
