Basic to Bikini: Week three – staying on track, posing + first family event
Wowee – what a week! I’m not naïve enough to believe this prep was going to come without challenges; I knew life would throw some stuff at me because that’s what it does, I didn’t expect it to come so quickly though. I’ve said it a thousand times, and I’ll say it until the end of time, with whatever you are doing, you have to know your ‘why’.

Why Ditching Your Old Spring Mattress is the Best Choice for Your Body. Top Story - February 2020. Created with: Lull.
Our bodies deserve to be treated with respect. As a yoga and dance teacher, I see the importance of taking care of our bodies every day. Whether it’s low impact, high impact, dance cardio, boxing, yoga, goat yoga, rock climbing, goat rock climbing (just kidding, I’m sure the line has been drawn at goat rock climbing, but you get the gist), there’s a movement class for every body. So, why is it so hard for us to take care of our bodies when it matters most? We spend ⅓ of our lives sleeping, so let’s take a minute and really think about our sleep quality and how seriously we’re taking it.

Creskeld Lane
I had cycled past this view many times before I actually stopped to take a photo of it. The trouble with it is that it's about two thirds of the way up a climb I tackle at the end of my rides, meaning that I'm generally too absorbed to want to stop or just too eager to get home.

Living with Hydrocephalus
You might have seen my title and thought omg that's the first thing people usually say to me. I don't have cancer I don't have a tumour unfortunately for me brain surgery is common because I have something called hydrocephalus which means water on the brain. You might remember seeing those baby with big heads and people would call them aliens? No they just have a water on the brain to stop this people like us need a thing called a shunt that goes into the head down the neck and into the tummy. I had my first brain subheading I was just 4 weeks old I was not born with hydro but developed outside of the womb a PV shunt was inserted and since then I have no need for a replacement the only thing that affected m Ewan's my eye sight and learning etc. I live a absolutely normal life like everyone else only certain things are a little harder for me. I thought nothing of my shunt as I grew older I actually started to think I no longer needed one because I was fine and nothing had ever actually happened to me with it. I'm now over 30 and just out of no where in the 27th of January 2018 I got this massive migraine when I say migraine I mean my head is throbbing so bad that even if I move just a bit I'm going to vomit and that I clean heart the throbbing right out of my ears. I was on 3 different heavy pain meds of the 3 days and nothing worked not even endone... I knew something was not right and I could hardly talk because I kept falling asleep that's all I literally did no matter what I could not stay awake. I was rushed to the hospital they did scans to see what's going on turns out my haunt had completely shattered and was no longer working not only that but I was actively dying I had a heart rate of under 20bpm and they where pumping morphinene into me like crazy with no relief The only was to stop it was to get emergency brain surgery I had absolutely no choice it was get brain surgery or die at that point I didn't care because I was in that much pain I felt dead anyway. My partner had to sign a waiver saying I could die or be brain damaged amongst other things. I didn't expect to come out alive I woke up confused dazed but I survived I could t believe it. Looking at the scans my head had completely filled itself with fluid they said that if I had left it one more day without going to the hospital I would of died as I was already dying when I got there it was so scary and now I feel like my life is different. There are still things I don't remember however I try my best everyday and I work hard at home around my kids. There is no cure for hydrocephalus and shunts are not the cure as they can break at anytime and malfunction at any time you can be fine one day then be dying the next I literally live my life on the edge because I never know if I'll be alive the next day or not.

Urgency or Emergency?
Something happens. An accident. A sudden onset of seemingly serious symptoms. Whether that something happens to you, to one of your children, to an elderly parent, or even to a coworker or customer where you work, you need to make an important medical decision either with them - or in many cases, for them. You are the first line of triage, and you have to decide what the first response should be to their medical condition. Should you call 911? Should you take them to the Emergency Room, or to an urgent care clinic? The decision you make could have wide-ranging - and long-standing - impact on their physical and their financial health.
