Little Hits of Happiness

Merry Christmas to you all 🎄✨
A special hug to anyone on a bio-identical hormone journey, this is my first Christmas taking progesterone, testosterone and DHEA with BioID, so I’m very curious to see how my tension levels hold up over the holidays…
Especially with 17 people around our table and staying in the house 😅
I’ll report back after Christmas!
Sending you all love, calm energy, and a very peaceful festive season 🤍

In the midst of the beautiful madness of owning two delicatessens at this time of year, I’ve taken a quiet pause to watch the sunrise in St Andrews. 🌅
So far I’ve spotted runners dressed as Christmas trees, brave souls taking an early-morning dook at East Sands, dog walkers greeting the day, and the sea rolling in with the calmest of waves.
Moments like this remind me how lucky I am, especially with the incredible teams behind Ed and me in both shops who keep the wheels turning seven days a week throughout December. We could not do it without you.
Looking forward to another pause later, eating out in Perth with Ed and doing our very best not to talk about work.

✨ Week 8 BioID Update ✨
I am now 8 weeks into my BioID hormone journey and I had my follow up with my clinician Sarah last week. Everything is going exactly as it should.
Still no negative side effects, just all the amazing positives continuing to build.
🌙 Deep, blissful sleep
⚡ Higher, steadier energy
🧠 No more brain fog
💛 Feeling calm, focused and so much more me
I am taking Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA, all prescribed after a full venous blood test, and honestly this journey has been one of the best things I have done for my wellbeing.
Here’s to continuing the balance.

What an incredible day. I’ve just finished delivering two Vision Board sessions for the amazing members of The Reformer Studio in Broughty Ferry, and my heart is genuinely full. The energy in the room was something special. So many women came together with openness, intention and a real desire to create positive change for themselves. The vibrations were sky high and it was a joy to witness.
Thank you to every single person who showed up with such enthusiasm and heart. You made the sessions what they were.
And a huge thank you to Lynsey and Shona for welcoming me into the studio and creating such a beautiful space and community. I am so grateful.
My cup is overflowing tonight. 💛

Taking a little prep time in one of my favourite local coffee spots today. ☕✨
There’s something about a warm cup, cosy surroundings, and a shift in atmosphere that helps me get into the right creative mindset.
With my Vision Board workshop coming up this afternoon, I’m soaking in the calm, gathering my thoughts, and setting the energy I want to bring to everyone attending.
Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need to get inspired. 💛

Stepping out into the cold, wet Scottish garden barefoot this morning because grounding is a non-negotiable for me, no matter the weather. 🌧️❄️
There’s something so powerful about pausing, connecting with the earth, and setting my mindset before the day gets busy. And with my Vision Board workshop for the Reformer Studio members in Broughty Ferry this afternoon, today’s grounding felt especially meaningful.
A few minutes outside… a little discomfort… a big shift in energy. ✨
If you haven’t tried grounding yet, give it a go. Your mind and body will thank you.

✨ 6 weeks into my BioID hormone journey using progesterone, testosterone and DHEA and I’m really starting to notice the difference.
My energy is steadier, my mood is more balanced and I finally feel like that fog has lifted.
It’s amazing what happens when your hormones find their balance again.
Feeling grateful for this progress and excited to keep going 💛

I’ve entered my “sofa + cheese + cookery shows” phase and I don’t plan on leaving it any time soon.
Consider this my winter hibernation notice 💤 until Pilates tomorrow anyway! 🤓🧘‍♀️

Up early, coffee in hand, taking a quiet moment in the garden to breathe, ground and ease into the day. 🌿☕
There’s something about the stillness of the morning — the air, the light, the calm — that just sets everything right before the day begins.
Meeting friends soon and then heading to Pilates, but for now… just slowing down and soaking it all in. 🤍

Five weeks into my BioID hormone journey and honestly… I feel incredible. 💛
After a full venous blood test, I was prescribed Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA, and each one has played its part in helping me feel balanced again.
🌙 Progesterone has been a total game changer for my sleep — and what’s amazing is that the blissful sleep continues even when I’m not taking it!
⚡ Testosterone has lifted my energy and motivation — I’ve got that spark back.
☀️ DHEA has cleared the brain fog and helped me feel sharper, more “me” again.
It’s still early days, but I can honestly say I feel like a brighter, calmer version of myself. ✨
