Sundaze 03.

10 May 2020

So, we meet again.

I’m keeping it short and sweet this week. It isn’t often that you come across a brilliant artist & writer who you are inspired by. By powers of social media, I discovered Tess Guinery, author of The Apricot Memoirs and The Moonflower Monologues and by god does she have a gift with words! I’m just in complete awe of her work and could resist the purchase of both her books. I can’t wait to indulge in her poetry and zephyr laced words.

The Pursuit of Zephyr Laced Words

My pen, in constant pursuit of zephyr laced words, free falling with the ink whilst overcoming the blank white masses. Words, they pave a golden path to my “aha” moments — or to the beginnings of some. Wrapping up, summing together, tying the knot, leading home, folding the bow — a beautiful revelation luminously singing back at me, aligning with every molecule deepest in my fabrics. Poems, my resounding prayers, sung unto the heavens, never forsaking & never returning null. My breathe becomes the poem, the poem my breath, the rhythm but a prayer and the voice returning, much like a castle in the sky —  hope.

Tess Guinery

I feel like I’ve have a pretty unproductive bank holiday weekend, I had plans to bake cookies, work on & complete some client projects and put some time into my revision. Instead, I cleaned my room up, put in a couple of hours into my client projects, set up my new vinyl turntable and spent the weekend in bed alternating between listening to Lana Del Ray & The Beatles and binging Netflix shows. And … that’s okay.

As easy as it is to feel like you have to be putting 100% in, all the time. Sometimes, it’s okay to take a weekend for yourself and just relax. So that’s what I’ve done, hence the shortness of this post.

But, it’s been a bit busy on the blog this week. If you’ve missed it, I posted:

  • My Courgette, Lime & Pistachio Cake Recipe
  • My May Goals
see you in the next post.

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.
