Why I'm Here...

Ever since I was a young girl I have always known my calling was in fashion, and ever since blogging had become such a popular thing I have always been drawn to it but never had the courage to start a fashion blog of my own. I certainly never thought that the thing that would push me to start would in fact not have anything to do with fashion, but here we are.

Over the past six months, I have found my self dealing with many health issues, which has in turn affected my self esteem greatly. My energy has been at an all time low, and I have spent a lot of time in bed. On top of that, I was feeling as though no matter what I was eating, whether it be an apple a slice of pizza, made me incredibly, and uncomfortably bloated. After months of toying with what could be wrong, I was sent for an allergy test, but I did not in the slightest expect what came back. It turns out for some time now I have been suffering from some severe (and some less so) intolerances, 27 to be exact, which included many nuts, grains and dairy sources. After discussing with my doctor it has been decided that these 27 items are to be removed from my diet for at least the next three months.

That being said, this is why I am here: Having a strict diet can be frustrating and overwhelming, especially when you weren't expecting it, but I know there are plenty more people out there than just me who have intolerances and allergies that are holding them back from being their healthiest self. I want to use this platform to be able to share my experience, progress and recipes for two reasons: 1. For myself, to be able to look through my progress (as well as motivate myself!) and; 2. For anyone else who could be reading and experiencing a similar sense of dread when it comes to eating

Of course, as I said, my primary passion is style (although cooking is a close second), so I also plan on adding in regular posts about fashion! In my eyes, they go well together. This new diet is supposed to make me feel healthy, and like my best self, and if I can achieve that, I am quite looking forward to feeling more confident than ever to be able to wear whatever I want and feel great in it as well!
