New month, new me (again) 😅 If you’ve been h New month, new me (again) 😅

If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know my supplement routine has had more comebacks than a 2000s boy band. I’m brilliant for a few weeks, then one chaotic week hits and suddenly it’s been a month and I can’t remember the last time I took anything 🤪

Lately I’ve been feeling properly run down. I’m trying to eat well and get to bed at a sensible time (whether I actually sleep is down to a three year old 🫠), but I’m still dragging myself through the day. So today is day one again!

I used to treat falling off as proof I’d failed and might as well not bother. I don’t anymore. A few missed weeks doesn’t undo anything. It just means you start again, and you’re allowed to start again as many times as it takes.

We’re all human. The bandwagon’s still there whenever you’re ready to climb back on.

Save this for the next time you fall off the bandwagon, and follow for real-life wellness from a mum who’s still figuring it out✨

God forbid a girl enjoys a bit of escapism, Brad. God forbid a girl enjoys a bit of escapism, Brad.

I remember watching Sarah J. Maas (aka queen 👑 on Call Her Daddy a while back and I loved what she said about this.

That the second a woman writes anything with even a hint of s*x in it, people decide the whole thing is worthless and love to make fun of romantasy readers. Doesn’t matter about the world building, the politics, the actual emotional guts of the story. One spicy scene and suddenly it’s just “smut”. 

And she’s right, because nobody’s out here calling a man’s personality trash for watching 90 minutes of grown men kick a ball around (no hate to them, truly!).

We’re all allowed to like things simply because they light us up. We don’t need it to be productive, or highbrow, or approved of. 

Whatever brings you joy, just do it 🤍

Now tell me what you’re reading right now so I can add it to my TBR, keep it as unhinged as you like 📚
