How do YOU manage stress?

-

Hi Blog Friends.  Hope you're well.  I've been under a lot of stress lately and it seemed to culminate in a cardiac event at work the other day.  It wasn't a heart attack, thankfully, but it was absolutely terrifying.  On top of the terror associated with rapid pulse, palpitations, chest pain, sweating, shaking and shortness of breath, it happened in front of my boss and co-workers, which was mortifying!  I only work one day a week and of course it happened on that one day!  An ambulance was called and I was carted off to hospital.  It was my first ever ride in an ambulance.  My nine year old son thinks that is so cool!  I do not!  It was an awful experience and a wake-up call to start managing my stress more effectively.  That's where you guys come in!  

This blog will always be mostly about fashion and style, but given health and well-being is important for every single one of us, I thought I'd ask for your advice.  That way,  we can learn from each other some practical tips to manage stress and enhance our wellbeing.  After all, without our health, we can't enjoy fashion at all, right?! ;) 

How do You manage stress?  



I would love to hear what you do to manage stress.  Let me know any tips or strategies that work for you!  


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    How scary! I am glad you are okay! it's easy for stress to build up - taking time to switch off and do something relaxing is so important! I love scented candles and Netflix and some good chocolate when it all just gets too much, haha!

    Hope you're having a good week and feeling much better!

    How scary that must have been. Sounds like a bit of an anxiety attack. I do hope you are feeling better now. I'd love to give you advise on how to manage stress, but I'm such a stress bunny myself. I've been under a lot of pressure lately and I know I'm not always coping with it very well. But there are some things which help me relax, one of them is reading. I can really lose myself in a book. A good rummage in a charity shop or at a flea market also works well. Or a good long nature walk. But lately my number one de-stresser is writing. I'm sure a cuddle with Amber in high on your list! Do take care of yourself, my lovely friend.

Hi Blog Friends!  How are you?  I hope you're happy and healthy.  It really is a weird state of limbo at the moment, isn't it?  On the one hand, the schools are open, so life almost feels like things are returning to normal, but on the other hand, my work hasn't re-opened yet due to covid-19 health concerns!  There are some businesses and members of the public that seem to be enacting strict social distancing practices and others seem not to care at all!  It is such a confusing time!  At least during these unstable times, there is always fashion!  Being creative and wearing bright and colourful outfits, adds joy to my day.  It is something that we have control over and something that can bring us comfort in a weary world.   Red has been the colour I've worn quite a lot of recently.  Red symbolizes strength, determination, passion and love.  It is the perfect colour for these times!  Here are two red outfits I've worn very recently.  Hope you love them!💓💓 Outfit 1:

Hi Blog Mates!  I have missed you!  September has been a completely frantic and chaotic month, which unfortunately has meant my blog has had to take a back seat lately.  I apologise for being so behind with my comments on your blogs too!  I asked Amber to do that for me, but she said she was too busy sleeping and being beautiful!😹 Anyway, on to the outfits!  I had planned on spreading out the below outfits across a few different posts, but now that the end of the month has come, I thought I'd put them together into one eclectic mix of colours and styles!   Outfit 1: Top: Kmart Pants: Rockmans Shoes: Rivers Necklace: Millers Mum bought me this gorgeous bangle in the UK last year and a few weeks ago I found earrings that match perfectly at my local Lovisa store! Yay!  Ring: Diva Bag: Reaction by Kenneth Cole Outfit 2: Top: H&M Skirt: Big W Shoes: Habana Carmine Chocolaticas by HCD Necklace: thrifted Ring: Diva Bag: bought i
