“Whenever i get stressed i start feeling sick and I found out that to stop feeling sick its good to eat some fruit, I found raw peppers whole like an apple is my fave! that or pears or mushed up strawberries in jelly.“ (Emmalee, young adult carer)
“Well they say the best things in life are free ... nothing makes us smile more than getting something free...and that's exactly the way it is...Keeping your mind occupied it is a great resource ..so is smiling & changing the way you think.. that is the key to feeling good about yourself…” “I plan little things here and there for future months something to look forward to...sometimes a day trip and sometimes it can be a 'freebie'.. I've been to concerts free..films & the theatre all courtesy of joining a site called showfilmsfirst…
You are not your age, Nor the size of clothes you wear, You are not a weight, Or the colour of your hair. You are not your name, Or the dimples in your cheeks, You are all the books you read, And all the words you speak, You are your croaky morning voice, And the smiles you try to hide, You're the sweetness in your laughter, And every tear you've cried, You're the songs you sing so loudly, When you know you're all alone, You're the places that you've been to, And the one that you call home, You're the things that you believe in, And the people that you love, You're the photos in your bedroom, And the future you dream of, You're made of so much beauty, But it seems that you forgot, When you decided that you were defined, By all the things you're not.
I get cheap deals online from places like wowcher & groupon...I never used to go to the hairdressers as it was too expensive that was until I spotted deals and now I've found my little place to change my hair every 8-10 weeks…

A change is as good as a rest. Radox shower gel is a pound I always get about 5 difference colours and 'flavours' all hanging up and I choose a different one each day when I shower...It just so nice to feel fresh for the day!...I love peace & quiet now and again...I don't get much of it but when I do ...bliss....
Always count your blessings...Very important to well being! “
Songs that help me relax I love Fleetwood Mac's music to listen to, especially their song
