My relationship with food ➡️ over the past few years, I have really developed my relationship with food. From being scared of eating to overeating and bingeing... To now, fuelling my body with the foods that help me thrive♥️🌈☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A few years ago, I had an eating disorder and I would scrutinise every ounce and crumb of food. Fast forward three years and I experienced binge eating for the first time, I got injured in the gym and I went through a very stressful time... This led to intense emotional eating for months. Now.. I am happy and working hard to fuel my body with the foods I adore. I portion control, I know what foods work for me and I really listen to my body 🔆 I don’t restrict. I enjoy life and the food I eat, and I never ever stop myself from eating cake, biscuits, pizza... They keep me sane 🤪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re struggling with your relationship with food right now... Take a step back, seek some help and don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re not alone in this and I know it’s scary but it’s all a journey of discovery. ♥️🔆

Wednesday reminder 🍑

AS EASY AS CBD😌🔆 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A huge shoutout goes to @graceslondon for sending me these CBD goodies. I have tried CBD oil and I didn’t reap the benefits as much as i would have liked to. So when I was contacted by Graces London, I was thrilled to know that I can moisturise my skin with CBD infused products instead!🔅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This soothing hemp CBD balm is suitable for all skin types. Enriched with essential oils and cannabis sativa plant extracts to nourish, soothe & protect the skin✳️😌. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘Due to the high content of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids found in Hemp, this balm is an excellent moisturiser which works with the natural oils of your skin to promote natural skin repair and renewal. Lemon & Lemongrass oils help to cleanse, tone, detoxify the skin and restore dullness, whilst Lavender soothes, calms and relaxes the skin’💓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How to use🦋🔆: Take a small amount of your CBD body balm and warm in the palms of your hand before application. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love applying both the oil and the balm to my feet, my skin (elbows, my spots on my arms - I have an uneven skin tone on my arms so this heals and soothes the broken skin). I also apply this to my cuticles! (When I’m anxious, I bite my nails 😞 so I need the products to soothe my nails! Honestly, it smells divine and soothes the skin that needs a little more TLC. Natural, soothing and really ticks the boxes of natural skincare ♥️

Just popping by with a Saturday reminder I created for you 💖 we all need to hear it sometimes. Happy Saturday x

Here’s something to make you smile on a Friday, cuddles with my chocolate lab... Nothing beats it♥️ Since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and no... I don’t mean my family🤪 I have had dogs, chickens, ducks, doves, budgies, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes 😬... You name it, we’ve had it here at the crazy zoo. It’s been crucial for my healing journey but also for my development from a little girl. I adore animals, they’re simply my favourite and when I’m feeling anxious, this guy Tyson, my chocolate lab, seems to fix everything ... Even if it is just for a split second 💫 I would love to know if you have any pets!!! 🙊

Are you renowned for being negative? Do you beat yourself up over everything? Are you biggest critic? Do you mentally abuse yourself? Please take a step back. When I got counselling a few years ago, I learnt a lot of these ‘coping statements’. They’re a great way of replacing your negative thoughts efficiently and quickly💖 Thank you @wholeheartedschoolcounseling for providing the knowledge and insights here on Instagram.

Always be kind. You just don’t know what someone is going through. The past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of work, sickness, worry and much more. But you know what, I wouldn’t change it for the world 💖 the most difficult times highlight the ones you need in your life and I’m grateful for this crazy journey I’m on. One massive bonus: I adore my job 💫 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to get back to normal soon. If you’ve emailed me, please accept my apologies, I have had my OOO on whilst I prioritise my family and my urgent work commitments 💫 . I intend to tackle my inbox on Thurs or Fri! Thank you to everyone who’s messaged me and has supported me the past two weeks. Thank you to everyone who hasn’t complained about me being ‘busy’ and thank you to everyone who just ‘gets me’. It’s hard when people don’t understand my commitment to my parents and work. But hey ho, life goes on and I won’t be changing for anyone ✋🏼😁 They either shape up... Or ship out of my life. I’m dedicated, determined and I adore my family. I work hard in the gym. I put my ALLLL into my job and I’ll care for my family as much as possible 💖 right now, I don’t need any negativity in my life. I am working on my self-love, I am prioritising the things that will help me progress in my career and I am caring for my parents. Brb ✨ normal posting will resume soon x *thank you, Mum for my super gorgeous new crystal necklace. So many healing benefits 💫

That’s right 💫

Just when you feel like giving up... My little niece surprised me with this and it’s exactly what I needed 💖 To Jessie/Best auntie, you are the funniest person. You are the best auntie in the universe. Keep being positive and believe in yourself. Lots and lots of love from Angel 😇 My niece just knows 💫

Your Saturday. Your everyday reminder. ♥️

Drinking my water outside before the madness of today begins 💖💫 one of my favourite drinking bottles is from @bewater.water ↩️ My water bottle is infused with amethyst crystals... Not only does this look extremely gorgeous, it’s also incredibly healing too🌟 Amethyst ➡️ healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness💫 Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness✨💖 (hence why this water bottle comes with me everywhere Not only has this water bottle encouraged me to drink more water (which has helped me with my skin and tiredness), it’s also helped me realise the power of crystals and how they have a strong placement in my life 💫 do I sound crazzzy? I don’t care 🌝 🌟 go treat yourself and help the planet too but reducing your consumption of plastic bottles ♥️

Monday reminder 💫
