Self care- Body Shop review

Since being diagnosed I've always been told self care is crucial. Whether it be physically or mentally. And since my husband died I have been more into the physical side of self care. Finding new products that would help with appearance. Something that I would of not done previously. But now I find myself taking more time and effort with my beauty routine.
I've never been one to try things as soon as they come out. Or jump on the band wagon with anything but two things from The Body Shop caught my eye and I had to buy them.


To say I was fixed on buying this when I first tried it was an understatement. I tried it on the back of my hand and to see the results was kinda strange at first.
The product once rubbed into your skin goes grainy taking away the build up of the day and any residual dead skin cells. After one try of the product on my face I was really surprised at how well it left my skin. My skin felt a lot cleaner after using it and even the next day I was still noticing how well my skin was looking. I use it three times a week and will not hesitate to but it again.
I will say that reading the reviews on line some people said they were having trouble with taking the grainy residue of there skin. I have not had that experience. It has been easy to use every time I have used it.

The second product from Body Shop that I was recommended by one of the store assistants after speaking to her was the


Back story - family members with skin issues have made me more aware that creams with SPF need to be used daily. And I went looking wondering what was available.
After speaking to the girl she suggested this product and the rest as you say is history.
This product is so light in texture and applies really well to the skin and seems to last forever. I use it every day and every day I am still surprised at the coverage a little amount give you.
I don't know about you but I don't like sun cream that runs into your eyes. This I'm pleased to say you don't even know you are wearing it's that light.

I will be trying more things from The Body Shop when the money allows and the anxiety about going into the shop and trying new things settles again.

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing wit...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

Nearly three years - reflection

I’ve found my self lately thinking about what has actually happened over the last years and thinking about and saying thank you to people that have helped me. I’ve heard stories of people that loose someone close to them and the friends that go with. In some respects that is true for me but in other cases the friends that were ours mutually are now mine and the friendships I have with them have grown. ( do I think they would be that way if my husband was still alive ? Answer it would be different. But they would still be part of our lives ) Other people I have met since this new life for me started and I’m grateful for everyone of them because they probably unknowingly have helped me through the hardest years of my life so far. Some of them I’ve only spoken on line to ( you know who you are ). Other friendships have been formed in person and the communication with them has helped even on the darkest of days. Each of them unwittingly helping navigate me through this journey of grief....
