Dutch Baby Pancakes 🥞🍓🍯

A little bit indulgent for a Friday lunch but can’t think of a better way to anticipate the start of my annual leave! 🤩

I definitely did not watch the YouTube video properly and left my pancake on a hot skillet with melted butter on the stove instead of putting it back into the oven immediately so it caught a bit on the bottom but I managed to save it.

Topped with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, yoghurt and honey 🍯 (and icing sugar for *aesthetic* 😂)

You know how in Next Top Model they give the models a scenario so that they can pull the right expression to capture the essence of the photo?

I imagined mutton rolls. 😍

You know your body better than your doctors do. If

You know your body better than your doctors do. If you notice something has changed, take action and push back if your GP (doctor) gives you excuses for why you may be experiencing hair loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have gone to my GP many times over the last 10 years informing them that I'm losing a lot of hair and that I didn't feel like it was normal. Their initial response the first few times I raised a concern? That it was “normal to lose 50-100 hairs a day.” What I perhaps didn't know to express was that yes, it's normal to lose that amount -- only when there is regrowth. It was only last year, after being sent to multiple blood tests and receiving normal health reports, I grew fed up and decided to reach out to a trichologist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Only in speaking to a professional who specialises in human hair and scalp, did I come to realise that though I was prescribed iron tablets for being borderline anaemic, I should be on a higher dose. Though my Vitamin D levels were low and I was prescribed tablets, I should be on a higher dose. Dandruff is also a contributor to hair loss - something I'd suffered with on and off since I hit puberty. Depression and stress are also factors that contribute to hair loss. It's your body's way of telling you that something is wrong, so pay attention to the signs and take action.

Oof. Oh boy ... alright, here we go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Oof. Oh boy ... alright, here we go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know why it's taken me such a long time to share this -- well actually, that's a lie. I do know why. Hair loss is something that is often brushed aside, hidden under depths of shame and despair as another 'taboo' topic that are deemed too uncouth for women to talk about openly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But in my research to improve my self esteem and find ways to prevent further hair loss; I quickly realised that this is a condition that affects a huge percentage of men (my dad included) and women. If you type in hair loss into Google, there are 1.6 billion results. The first few pages of results are targeted towards men and the general symptoms of hair loss. It's only when you specify 'hair loss women' do you realise that 907 million (57%) of those results are relevant to women.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And suddenly, I realised that I am not alone in my suffering. So, #letstalkabouthairloss and remove this taboo that currently surrounds it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The biggest struggles I've faced while producing content on social media and my blog has been about finding my voice and not falling into the masses of bloggers who publish the same deliverables. Perhaps the reason why I've experienced this writer's block is because I've been too afraid to speak out about something that I've considered exceptionally personal and incredibly private.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are different types of hair loss and I am well aware that I have not been dealt the worst cards - but every single person's suffering is as valid. I would like to use this platform to speak about my journey & the steps I'm taking to help my hair in hopes that I will bring some positivity and confidence to someone else who is going through the same things that I am.
