Bath time!

-
Hey there! Welcome back to my blog!

Something that I like to do when I am stressed or tired, I like to have a bath. 
The heat is relaxing and you can add things that are good for your muscles and for helping to strengthen your immune system, which we all need in times like these. I also like hot water bottles, to ease pain, which can be a good alternative for people who don't like baths. 




Here is a list of products that I like to use when I am having a bath. 

  • Essential oils
    • Sage is a very good brand
    • Peppermint: used to boost energy and aid digestion
    • Lavender: used to relieve stress
    • Sandalwood: used to calm nerves and help with focus
    • Bergamot: used to reduce stress and improve skin conditions like eczema
    • Rose: used to improve mood and reduce anxiety
    • Chamomile: used to improve mood and relaxation
    • Ylang-Ylang: used to treat headaches, nausea, and skin conditions
    • Tea Tree: used to fight infections and boost immunity
    • Jasmine: used to help with depression, childbirth, and libido
    • Lemon: used to aid digestion, mood, headaches, and more
I got this information from The Health line website check it out for more info.

  • Bath bombs
    • I love lush bath bombs
    • I also have made my own before, This is the Recipe
    • Bath salts can also be beneficial 
Some other things to make a bath better and more relaxing are:
  • Candles
  • bath pillows
  • Tea
  • Bath bubbles (make sure to read the ingredients. I would suggest a natural brand) 
  • A bath Caddy can be nice if you want to read in the bath
  • CBD can be helpful for relaxation 
  • A face mask!! :) 

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your bath!

My Health Journey

-
I was first Diagnosed with Colitis in 2018, just after my grandmother had past away.  I was going through a life changing and stressful time, so it make sense that I would flare up. I had mild symptoms for 6 months, and then it go really bad, and so I get rushed to emergency! They made an appointment for me to meet with a doctor, and he said that I should get a colonoscopy. It was very scary, but I got through it.  It was right after I woke up from the anesthesia that he told me that I had Ulcerative colitis. All we were told was to eat junk food and we were given a scary pamphlet that basically said that I would be in pain for the rest of my life, would get cancer, and never have kids. Turns out those things are not true! I did not just have to be on the "Junk food only" diet, and I also think I will be able to have kids! I am now finally in remission after many hospital visits, and many painful months! -Gutsy Girly

IBD related apps?

-
Hello and welcome back to my blog! I am just wondering if anyone has a recommended app that they use to keep track of your IBD?  I used to use a great app, but unfortunately, it got taken off the app store. I like to be able to journal my food because it can be helpful to look back on what I ate on any given day, and to make sure that I am eating a balanced meal.  I like to also track my weight, Hydration,  exercise, and bowel movements, as well as medication and notes that doctors have given me. If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to leave them in the comment section! Thanks for reading -Gutsy girly
