Feel Stress Free With Thrive || Review

I'm no stranger when it comes to talking about mental health on ByBusby; I've been very open with my experiences & progress so when I was saw a new app emerging to help battle these problems I thought why not give it a go. I've teamed up with the creators of Thrive to test out their new app & share my thoughts with you. I was super excited because I've never come across an app targeted at mental health (I haven't really looked to much!!) & since it was focused on helping with stressors it is well suited to me. For the past month I've been using it when I feel the need & here's my feedback.

The Notion Of Independence || OOTD

It's time to talk about being independent which these days it seems to be a defining feature of someone's character. Is it really that important to be independent & are we ever fully independent anyway? Is it okay to judge someone because they aren't completely reliant on themselves? In my mind no!! Everyone is independent at times & sometimes we just need to rely on someone else.

The Importance Of Mental Health Days

I kicked my day off with a bath bomb & a cuppa. I'm currently writing this on split screen with Dear John playing because I fancy a soppy movie this morning. I've usually done a bunch of things in work  by now & I'm waiting on a delivery to keep my busy till lunch. Today however I'm taking a mental health day. I need it & luckily my manager actually cares about his staff to offer me the day off.

It's Time To Say Thank You || Mental Health

It's that time of the year again when we dedicate a year to focusing on mental health. This year I don't want to focus on the negatives because there's no need to dwell but instead say thank you to the people who have helped me on a daily basis. There's so many people to thank from my past & present. There's probably some who don't realise they helped me but I have been blessed with amazing people throughout the years. Too many have helped me through bad days & to develop the coping mechanisms I use everyday, however I don't want to make this a long winded post so here's a thank you to my partner Jacob.

Netflix Got Me Thinking || 13 Reasons Why

By now I think most people have seen or heard about the new Netflix series 13 reasons why. I first discovered it through a Facebook thread prior to its release & was really eager to watch it. Little did I know what the show was truly about & once I started watching it really opened my eyes. I haven't read the book & I'm not going to pretend that I knew about the book prior to the series but I think Netflix made a good choice in creating this series. It's reached a whole new audience & has really got people thinking about mental health.

Keeping Your Head Together || Lifestyle

I wasn't planning to make a second post this week because I wanted to re-shoot a few images & make everything perfect. Saying that I'm sat at home with a sickness bug, feeling rather sorry for myself & feel inspired to write. I haven't been feeling myself for weeks, not necessarily ill but not at my prime health. I'm constantly dehydrated, drained & pretty much exhausted. I've done all the tests the doctors have requested & luckily there's no underlying cause, well I say luckily but I'd rather take a miracle drug & shoo it away.
