A take it easy day

Date 1 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I find it incredibly difficult to switch my thoughts off, but when I’m tired I can’t seem to string two words together, let alone equate and write my feelings down, so today I’m going to take a chill day and do absolutely nothing. With a little bit more sleep, I’m…

Putting loved ones first

Date 29 March 2014
Author Ilana Estelle

Author Ilana Estelle
Some people will be fortunate to go on holiday and take very little with them. They travel light, only taking the minimum with them. The supplements I take at home, I take on holiday too. I would love to give myself a bit of slack, so that if I didn’t…
