Hello Everyone, it's been a while.

Life at the moment has been interesting. The honeymoon period at work has most definitely ended and things have got... "interesting". As well as losing a family member to cancer a few weeks ago, my anxiety being at its peak of recent (there's been shaking, insomnia, clumsiness, mood swings) things haven't been so great - and it's shown at work, and at home. I've been unhappy. It's even had an impact on the blog! I hadn't posted for a month before I uploaded my chocolate cookie recipe, and that's really not okay, I've shown dedication to this blog for the best part of a year and I'm not about to slow that down now.

I need to be resilient. I'm usually, happy, bubbly, always laughing, alwaysss smiling, and there's no reason why I can't go back to that. When dealing with a mental illness you often have to find the motivation to overcome it 'in the dark'. So even though I don't know as yet where I'll find this happiness, I imagine I'll find it soon. As for now, uploads should be more consistent and I will start taking a lot more pictures!

Happy Thursday, Hope You're All Okay (and still cooking!),

Christina x
