Vegan goes on Holiday to Dubai

So last minute my Dad and I have decided to jet off to Dubai. We have some CCTV/security business, networking and holiday fun times to attend to. My Dad turned 46 so this get away should also be a nice surprise break for him to celebrate.

Lately the weather has been pretty bleak and dizzly here in England so here is hoping that it will be the opposite over in Dubai- bring on the sunshine and shopping (seriously though the malls are epic!).

However Dubai was difficult when I went there as a vegetarian let alone a vegan. I hope that I can keep up a plant based lifestyle.

I am worried about having a large enough supply to water like I am used to here (I drink 3-4 litres a day). I am even more anxious about how I will be able to find food that I like.

For the flight I have requested Emirates vegan meal options so I hope they will get this right and that the food served is onion free.

We have breakfast included at the hotel but I do not know what vegan options will provided. I did email the hotel to enquire about this but have not heard back eeek.

I have packed some emergency UHT cashew milk so that I can at least have some cereal. A supply of flight friendly snacks are also a must for me ; fruit, popcorn, Nakd bars and the like.

Food worries aside I have some packing to finish. I am not too stressed as there are shops every where if we need any thing extra. I love aeroplanes (especially how they can fly) but I really struggle with being in one place for ages, not being able to walk around and

Time will tell how the next week goes. See you on the flip side. Watch out UAE x x x

Goodbye 2017

That's it for 2017 folk! It has just flown by- what a whirlwind of things which feel as though they happened just a week ago. It definitely highlights how important it is to cherish every day, because life moves  so  quickly. I started 2017 with the desire to make big changes in my new job. This was hard, and there were so many points throughout the year when I questioned how it would ever happen. My manager (a Clinical psychologist) seemed uninterested in staff development which was deflating to say the least. Coming into this job from a Masters was not mental stimulating enough for me but I have gradually managed to create some learning opportunities for myself and my colleagues. I cannot wait to be bolder and braver at making way for my needs. I also wanted to make some changes in my personal life, this year. I have had to adjust to being back home. Unlike previous years where I have been at university/school, I have had to put effort into keeping connected, network wi...

Self Love club

Yep I am talking about SELF CARE. It is easy to neglect ourselves during December. While it may feel like the busiest time of the year. it pays to look after number 1. Perhaps when work or social pressures pile up, the routines that normally keep us healthy and happy — are usually the first thing to go amiss.  Also increased stress, eating poorly and drinking too much can also exacerbate issues like stress, anxiety and depression. Please try to take care of yourself — avoid don’t drinking or eating to excess and keep up with your usual routines of exercise and whatever keeps you together during the year.

Be-YOU-tiful

Accept Who You Are Don’t get hung up on what the Christmas holidays are supposed to be like and how you’re supposed to feel. If you’re comparing your festivities to some movie perfect ideal, they’ll always come up short.  Some of us make people laugh, others cook fantastic meals. Some of us share our lifestyle with the people who live close to us, others live very differently.  I do enjoy socialising but generally in small doses and when I am some where I feel comfortable.  If you have mental health problems, don’t feel pressured to do more than you feel up to. Try to figure out some of your limits and take things as they come. Remember Christmas is just one day of the year! So whether alone or with others this Christmas, celebrate who you are.
