HELLO 2020!

Ok so I’m super late to the party because February is already here (HOW???) and I am writing an intro blog..

If this isn’t a testimate to jusssst how unorganized my 2020 has been then I don’t know what is! Work has been busy, life has been busy and I’ve been trying not to let the post holiday blues swallow me whole!

I love the energy and vibe of a new year but I always find January is a bit a of a mess trying to get back into routine and getting back to reality is always a hard pill to swallow.

I’m finally feeling settled, we’ve set our goals for the year and I’m feeling super ready to have a better year this year! 2019 brought about lots of change for me, lots of heartache but LOTS of growth!

Here’s a quick recap..

I took the leap into studying naturopathy and nutrition which is a dream of mine to do for myself one day. And I passed my first year of full time study alongside full time work (love that for me)!

Had a super scary experience with my best friend being involved in a car accident which really put a lot into perspective for everyone, I think! It made me realize how fragile life is and also how so much can change in a split second! Our friends are just like our family and I totally appreciate not only my best friend but all my friends SO much more now! Its so important to let them know their loved and to realize what a massive part they play in our lives! Becca also showed me how challenging situations are just that and we get to chose how we react to what life throws at us.

Me and my siblings lost our dad and our mum lost her husband! Our lives will never ever be the same and I still struggle to even fathom how we got here. Another rather harsh reminder that life is so so precious and you don’t know what’s going to happen. The whole experience changed me more than I could ever, ever explain..

I started a new job! Toward the end of the year I knew I needed a change of scenery and took the leap into a new job in ED which I’d been wanting to do for a long time now! I’ve learnt so much already and I’m confident it was a super valuable step for me as an RN. I am so excited for the opportunities to come!

Aaaand possibly the most exciting..

WE GOT ENGAGED! This still feels surreal! The most perfect proposal by my absolute best friend was a beautiful way to brighten a pretty shitty year! Cant wait to marry my best mate (not Becca haha)!!

As I was saying, I am super ready to leave the highs and lows, peaks and troughs in 2019 and have a fresh start this year. A few things I’m hoping to achieve which concern whoever you are reading this is I’m hoping to be a bit more regular with my blogs. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself but I am hoping for 2 per month, (1 per fortnight) and more if I have the time around study and work.

Ever since I was young I’ve loved to write and even if no one was to read my blog I know it would still make me happy. If people read it and maybe take something away, or not, it’s a win regardless so I’m happy to spend my time here!

If you follow me on insta you may have picked up that I work with Health2000 - this was a super cool opportunity which also came about in 2019. My views, values and morals around health and wellness completely align with those of Health2000 and so working together was an absolute no brainer for me. I am hoping to incorporate more work with them here on this blog to hopefully provide some education and encouragement around the use of more natural products! Afterall I totally believe small, natural shifts in our diet and lifestyle are totally the way toward a more healthful us!

I’m also hoping to share more of what I’m learning through study, as I’m learning it. I know natural health and lifestyle/dietary movements aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and that’s totally fine. But for those whose cup of tea it isssss, I’m hoping to share the exciting things I learn, again to encourage more healthy lifestyles.

Anyway, that’s a quick recap and intro from me, happy (late) 2020 and I am super excited for what is in store for us around here!!
