ABOUT

I’m a thirty-something, midi-skirt and fugly-shoe obsessive, trying to get my IBS to play ball so I can leave the safety of my bathroom.

Seriously though, I’m all about smashing that poo taboo and speaking openly about my battle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), the quest for gut health and all the shit that goes with it. You name it, I’ve been there. From countless days housebound, near commuter breakdown over a no-loo situation and the dreaded pregnancy-like bloating.

But do you know what, my IBS has opened the door to a whole new community of bloggers, experts and readers who make sharing and baring all, worth it.

I’ve been blogging for freakin’ yonks now, starting with fashion before meandering over to lifestyle content. I started openly documenting my battle with IBS way back in August, 2014  followed by how I deal with the anxiety that comes with it, and was so overwhelmed with the support, comments and questions that I’ve decided that that’s what I love sharing.

Oh, and I also had a baby just as the world went into lockdown due to a global pandemic. So, there’s that to write about too…
