What is normal 🙄🙄

I don’t think I have ever been normal 🤣🤣 hormones are a full on rollercoaster 🎢🤪

In my teens 🧬 I was a little dramatic 🤪 and quite spicy 🌶️ if you told me I couldn’t do it 😬 I did it twice 🤭🤭

During my pregnancies I was completely off the scale bonkers 😝 I would randomly strip wallpaper 🤪 while spending the whole day making ham and pea soup 🥣 then getting ill with morning sickness (clearly not morning at all) and end up crying and leaving home because your supportive husband still ate his 🤯🤯 (obviously I was back the next day 🥰🤣)

Peri menopause I feel like I am a balanced mixture of both 😝🤪 am dramatically 🤪 spicy 🌶️ cry 😭 over everything 🥹 oh and I occasionally leave home 🏠 after a row book myself into a fully booked hotel 🏨 and be home all before anyone notices 🥰🥰

I feel like am more impressive 🥰😜 that normal 🥰😜

Why menopause awareness is soooooo important to me 🫶🏻🧬

I hit my 40s and my periods went crazy 🫪

I was on for 10 days, off for 2 weeks and then back on for 10 🫣🫣 the flooding was unpredictable and stupidly inconvenient 🤯🤯

I was trying my best to function 😳 doing my own clients while running a business, teaching students, motivating staff, juggling Covid, being a parent to children who’s world had just been tipped upside down 😞😞 and with what ever else was left 😖😖 I was still try to be a wife 🥺🥺

When I went the doctors for help I was told it’s just hormones 😳😳

After a year of struggling with ‘just my hormones’ 😖 I asked if I could be referred to have a hysterectomy as my mum had similar problems.

To which I was told absolutely not 😳 a hysterectomy at my age was classed as cosmetic as I was too young to be menopausal 🫪🫪

They advised I go on the pill injection 💉

That didn’t work 😳

So they added the mini pill 💊

That didn’t stop the bleeds 🩸

So they doubled the amount 💊💊

That didn’t work either 🥺🥺

So then they put me on hrt 💊💊

That’s 5 lots of hormone medication all together 🥺🥺 which didn’t actually slow down or stop my periods 🫣🫣

It made me feel so much worse 😞🥺 I was up and down like a yo yo 😖😖 I didn’t know if I was coming or going 🫪🫪 the night sweats 🥵 the weird rash like spots on my face ☹️☹️ the aching joints 😒😒 the 2am to 5am wide awake every night 😳 the restless leg 🦵 and the anger 😡 it was full on rage from nowhere like someone flipped a switch 🤯🤯

The final straw was after a couple years of struggling they decided I was depressed and put me on anti depressants and beta blocker for mood swings and palpitations 🥺🥺

That’s 7 lots of medication 😔😔 none of which actually helped with my ridiculous periods 🥺🥺

So I stopped them all 🛑✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻

And began the research myself 🧐

I didn’t even know what peri menopause was 🧐

Understanding the why helps to support the results 🫶🏻💜

Hormones 🧬🧬🧬

October menopause awareness month 💕💕

Hormones pay a massive part in how we colour. But we’re not taught about it. Were taught colour science and how pigment works ❤️💛💙

We’re not taught enough about the canvas that we put it on and how it can massively effect our results 👩‍🔬🎨🧬🫶🏻

The science isn’t just about what’s in the colour 🎨👩‍🔬🧬
Our hormones play a big part in how colour reacts 🧬🎨🫶🏻

Using a wella colour create masks once every couple of weeks will help with the damage and keep your tone looking fresh in between salon visits 🤩🤩 (colours are inter mix able)
