Just Lucy Jane

Happy wednesday everyone!

Today I worked my first shift open to the public for 12 long weeks. I was incredibly nervous about it and made it such a huge thing in my head that I was struggling to sleep or relax in the few days we had before opening. It felt like the first day back after the school holidays, but instead of going back to your normal place of work you were being entered in to the hunger games.

Social Anxiety is something I've dealt with in varying degrees for years.

Lucy is one of my best friends and has always supported me in everything and so there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to write a piece for her blog when she asked me - especially about a topic that is so important to me and that as a friendship group, we’ve been able to discuss freely but the conversations aren’t always easy for everyone.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I was first introduced to Lucy & Yak by my friend Emma on a trip to Brighton.

I know with everything going on at the moment a lot of people are considering getting a furry companion, so I wanted to give an honest account of adopting a rescue pup.

This week is mental health awareness week so I wanted to talk about things that I use to help with mindfulness and calm. Today it's Matcha!

Depression and Anxiety have made themselves comfortable with me for pretty much as long as I can remember.

It's taken me years to get my skincare routine right. I always end up with products drying my skin out or making it excessively oily, but I've finally found a routine that works for me.

Ok so here goes nothing! My first ever blog post.
