Upcoming Travels: Cornwall
T-Minus 51 Days until my UK Vacay! Even though life will have hopefully gone back to (relative) normal by then, Max and I have decided to staycation again this year instead of going abroad. Why?

Uni for a Spoonie
If you’ve been keeping up with my instagram @livinglifefree__ then you will know that I finally got to wear a graduation gown! I still haven’t had a ceremony (thanks covid…) but putting on that gown and standing infront of Newcastle University’s iconic arches made it feel a bit more offical: I’m a graduate!!!

Sleepless Nights
One of the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue is insomnia. Thankfully for me it doesn’t show up too often but when it does, its a bitch. Once in a while, I’ll have a night where I lie in bed, completely unable to sleep. Then I get frustrated that I can’t sleep which makes it all worse […]
Essential Oils: Lavender Sleep and CFS
One of the most important things for people with chronic fatigue is to make sure we get a good amount of sleep. I have had struggle sleeping my entire life. If it is noisy around me then there is almost 0% chance that I will manage to get a good night’s rest. It’s the same […]
