In 1999, Stephen Chbosky wrote a book called ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ which became an instant classic and was adapted into a film starring Emma Watson. This had been his only book...until this year when he released his second novel ‘Imaginary Friend’ - which to my delight, is a horror! I’m so interested to see how his writing style has developed all these years later and how he tackles a completely different genre to ‘Perks.’ #bookstagram #books #bookworm #booknerd #horror #fiction #read #reading #ya #bookblogger #bookblog

In 2013, I went vegan and not long after, blindly followed social media “experts” on how to eat the “right” way. I started out by trying Raw Till 4 where I only ate raw fruits and vegetables until 4pm where I could tuck into a high carb meal of rice and potatoes. My stomach had never been in so much pain in its life. I was bloated beyond belief, I felt so sick and I just couldn’t cope eating that way. I stopped immediately. Around 2016, I tried the Starch Solution where you only eat starches and little to no fat. I felt a bit better but it was so restrictive and not fun. I got bored of eating the same bland foods over and over. In 2017, I feared oil like it was the devil. I watched online influencers call ahead to restaurants to make sure all their foods were prepared with no oil. It was fear-mongering at its finest. In Europe I decided I’d had enough. There was nothing wrong with oil and I enjoyed it to the fullest in some of the best places like Italy and Greece. When I got back, I fell pregnant and suddenly all that mattered was fuelling my body with food period. In 2019, I’m a mother to a toddler and I eat a balanced diet that is not restrictive, nor limited in any way and makes me feel my best. I no longer listen to people on social media. I listen to registered doctors and nutritionists who actually have medical experience. By being so easily influenced, I did a lot of harm to both my physical and mental health. I was terrified of putting on weight and not being ‘pure’ enough by allowing certain “toxins” into my body. I’ll never ever do that again nor show my daughter anything but a mother who is intelligent when it comes to meeting nutritional needs and eating abundantly from all food groups. I can’t reverse the clock but I can be grateful that I’ve learnt enough to guide my little girl. #veganism #vegans #vegan #crueltyfree #plantbased #health #healthy #flowers

When Rowan sees an ad in the paper for a live-in nanny job in the Scottish Highlands with an extremely generous salary, she thinks it’s too good to be true. However when she arrives, the house is not as it seems and when she’s accused of murdering one of the children, she knows she’s being framed... #bookstagram #books #bookworm #book #booknerd #read #reading #fiction #horror #thriller

It’s amazing how long I lived with the narrative that I was just a ‘naturally anxious’ person. It wasn’t until my therapist told me that ‘naturally anxious’ isn’t a thing, that I realised my body was living with trauma it had never released. Every single day since I was a child I have operated with clenched fists, a tight jaw, a nervous stomach, sweating and shaking legs. It sucks on one hand that I’ve lived this way for so long but on the other, I’m grateful for the opportunity to finally rid myself of it. EMDR therapy targets trauma and aims to switch the fight or flight response off when it needs to be and on when it needs to be. Mine is always on and my body always feels like there is a threat around every corner. It’s going to be a difficult journey (it already has been) but ultimately it will be for the best 💖 #trauma #mentalhealth #emdr #emdrtherapy #therapy #anxiety
