Working through the Covid-19 Pandemic is tough on all Healthcare workers at the moment; so I've put together a list of my Top 10 Tips for Looking after yourself as a nurse or midwife in 2020 (though I'm sure these things would apply for pretty much any healthcare worker at the moment!) We all need a little bit of self care every now and again and this pandemic has made it even more important for all health workers, nurses, doctors, midwifes, students, support workers and more to take a minute to look after ourselves so we can be fit and well enough to care for our patients. I hope you find this list useful! Stay Safe!

We've officially been living in our new build house for over a month! In this video I'm going to share a bit of the DIY home improvements we have been doing to get ourselves settled in our beautiful new home. We have also been shopping for more homeware to add to our house - including picking up our new curtains for the living room, and finding some vintage-look lightbulbs for our new kitchen light.
