Hi everyone, just thought I'd post a little
update for you and let you know what I've been up to and what I'm watching of
late.
April was pretty hectic, first off I started up
a new Instagram account. It's called Stronger Than We Think and it's just
somewhere for me to upload some of my favourite quotes about positivity, my own
deep thoughts and poems, mindfulness, depression, health etc. Sometimes it gets a bit dark but then so do
I, it's the type of stuff I don't feel happy sharing on my main IG account so
only follow if you want, don't feel you have to, but thanks if you do.
Secondly, as mentioned above and you may have
guessed going by the tone of some of my posts this year so far, but my anxiety
and depression has taken a downward spiral and I've been struggling a lot. I want to talk more about this at a later
time because sadly I know so many people who are also struggling and it makes
me so sad that everyone seems to suffer alone and feel like they are the only
ones feeling that bad, they're not.
There are so many of us struggling and not coping, and I really want to
do something to try and help that. But
that's something for another time.
Anyway, for my own sanity, I visited my GP recently and got referred to
a Social Prescriber (never even knew that was a thing), who I saw a couple of
weeks ago and again today (last week as I upload this). She's very nice, I poured my heart out to her
and apparently she's going to try and help me in practical ways. While I also go and see a councillor to help
sort my mess of a mind out, who I'm due to see at the end of May. So I'll let you know how that goes and if it
helps. I'm hoping it will be an on-going
process as basically I have a whole list of crap to work through!
For a little Heidi-the-Poodle update - she is
completely adorable, loving life and never stops. The 'puppy-biting' is a bit of a nightmare,
especially as I'm always covered in teeth marks now-a-days and so is half our
furniture!!! But, hopefully that's just
a phase, one she will soon (please God) grow out of, so I've been told.
On the Easter bank holiday weekend at the end of
April, my family and I took her out for the day to Prestatyn. Thankfully the weather was actually
gorgeous! And Heidi got to experience
her very first time on sand, which was seriously one of the cutest
things!! She absolutely loved it and was
whizzing around all over the place (there's a mini video on my IG). We
also discovered that Prestatyn has a really lovely waterfall called the Rhaeadr
Dyserth Waterfall, which was tucked away in the middle of a really pretty
wooded/park area with a gorgeous little stream, it was all very picturesque and
made a nice day out.
***************
As for any make up/product favourites these past
months, let's put it this way, apart from last weekend, I haven't worn make up
on my face since about January and I think half my stash may well be past it's
best so..... These days, I barely leave
the house it seems, let alone have time to look presentable. So keeping real, 'Instagramable' and
'Pinterest-worthy' I am not lol
Speaking of last weekend, to end off April I went to one of my favourite conventions, Wales Comic Con. Admittedly it wasn't the most fun day of the year this time around as the weather was atrocious and I got soaked in the short time I was there, that particular morning was 'one-of-those-days' where EVERYTHING was going wrong, including taking the wrong bank card and me suddenly freaking out in the taxi thinking oh crap, I'm not going to have any money while I'm there or be able to get home (don't worry I got it sorted, eventually), as well as getting there late and not being able to find any of my friends!! BUT despite that, I MET DAVID TENNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, that man has such a sexy smile and he was SO sweet, completely made the rest of the crapy day worthwhile, I've been a fan of his for sooo many years, way before he was (let's face it) the best Doctor ever!! I also met Billie Piper who was really nice and friendly. And Emmy Raver-Lampman, who plays the beautiful Alison in one of my new favourite shows The Umbrella Academy (more on that in my next post). I made her a TUA themed charm bracelet and she not only loved it, she really spent time with me talking about it and really looking at all the charms, it made my day.
Talking of new favourite shows, I have been
heavily relying on Netflix of late to relax my over-stressed brain and wow have
I found some gems. I was going to write
about them all in this post, but honestly, I SO did not plan for this post to
be quite so long!! So I'm going to do a
Netflix Favourites for my next post and I'll write a mini review of each show,
you might even find something new to watch, and there's quite a few!!
So until next time, Stay Happy ♥
