Did any one else hear @davinamccall on @bbcradio2 Did any one else hear @davinamccall on @bbcradio2 this morning? She was talking about her new book 'Menopausing' and her own experience of going through the start of her #perimenopause journey and it really struck a chord with me. I'm on a fairly even keel with it at the mo. The HRT I'm on is doing what I'd like it to do (not a complete cure all for sure, but it's sorted me out so that I can think more clearly and have the oomph to start looking after myself a bit better). One thing Davina spoke about was about how often we don't realise that it's the perimenopause kicking in especially when it comes to things like #anxiety. She mentioned a story of how she gradually started to be unable to do things like drive the car at night, and so suddenly you're dependent on others, and your world starts to shrink. And it proper hit home for me. Because I'm the same, I've developed these little anxieties that I've built up to be big ones and it's seen my world and capabilities shrink. I don't/won't drive at night, I don't/won't fill the car up with petrol, I don't/won't use the phone if I can avoid it, I don't/won't go in certain shops. It sounds ridiculous, I'm a grown ass women FFS but just like Davina that was how it started for me too. Little chippings away at my personality, loss of confidence, fear mongering, a shadow of my former self. With hindsight and HRT I can see this now. And I'm working on it. I'm coming back and my world is slowly expanding again. Does any of this sound familiar to you too?

Pretty please with the pots I made at the @justine Pretty please with the pots I made at the @justinejennerpottery workshop I did a few weeks ago. Not bad eh? If you remember, the husband bought me a date per month as a Christmas present and this was date number 3 (he's a bit behind bless him but we're getting there 😊) Who'd be up for a date round up #blogpost at the end of the year detailing the 12 different dates?
Like many women, I suffer from outbreaks of hormon Like many women, I suffer from outbreaks of hormonal #acne at certain points during my cycle. The spots tend to emerge in the few days leading up to the start of my period, and mainly occur around my chin and jawline. However, now that I’m in the #perimenopause stage of my life, I’ve noticed changes to the type of hormonal acne I get. The spots are now more cyst-like; larger, deeper under the skin, and much more painful; and they have now spread to my neck, hairline and cheeks too. Plus, my pores are noticeably larger, and larger pores means more space for dirt to collect and for bacteria to breed, which of course means more spots. It has become an endless vicious cycle. The changes and imbalances in hormone levels that happen during the lead up to #menopause impacts the skin in a variety of ways. Collagen levels decrease resulting in wrinkles, sagging, and a dull complexion, and our skin can also become drier, more sensitive, and more acne prone. My latest #blogpost features the @foreo_official ESPADA blue light acne treatment device and their new blemish gel. I also share 4 other tips to help clear up skin during this tricky stage of life. The link's in my bio so head on over and give it a read 🤓

Had an absolute blast on our date for June learnin Had an absolute blast on our date for June learning some #pottery skills with @justinejennerpottery I've wanted to have a go on a wheel for ages. I remember having them at school but we were never allowed to use them, so it became this big thing for me that at some point I needed to have a go. And I LOVED it. Just something so mindfully relaxing and mesmerising about watching a lump of clay spin on a wheel and transform from something shapeless into something resembling a bowl 🤣 To give myself some credit, I was pretty impressed with what I produced, and I can't wait to see how they come out in a few weeks time once they've been baked and glazed 🎉 We're a bit behind with the whole #12monthsofdates thing but the hubby's told me there are plans afoot to catch up, so we shall see.
