Side view!

My nails are painted white with Maybelline Color Show in ''Winter Baby''

I love white nails!

Easier to see the style of the jumper here..

Today I'm not feeling great at all.. I was up all night with an upset stomach and I dont have much energy so I dressed accordingly..I also have barely any make up on. 

The jumper I got yesterday is soooooo warm and comfy! The comfiest jumper I have put on in a long time. I thought it might be a bit itchy from the looks of it but that isnt the case at all! :)

The vest is so long on me it's practically a dress! it goes down longer than it does in this pic! 

I have no shoes on cause I doubt I'll be leaving the house today only to go 2 houses up with Rian to visit my aunt. Rian is rarely around on Saturdays or Sundays so she will be delighted to see him! :) 

Hope everyones having a better lazy Sunday morning than I'm having! :P

Vegan diet.. Kinda

So I am taking on a whole new look on food from now on. Here's why..

So basically I've suffered from sinus problems for my whole life on and off but the last year it has been really bad with constant sinus pressure and congestion! It's such an awful thing to suffer from.. Lately I have also been getting headaches and dizziness.. On a few occasions I have been sitting in the car and I get the feeling that the car is moving forward and I jump with a fright when in fact it's completely stationary.. It's more annoying than anything. 

I have tried antibiotics and decongestants and everything that's on offer but nothing even helps a small bit! (F*ck sake! Typical) so I have read a lot on how dairy in your diet can cause sinus problems a lot! And my diet is high in dairy products... Milk.. Butter.. Yogurts.. Yum... 

I'm going to give a dairy free diet a go now for a few weeks anyway to see if it helps with my sinuses any bit! 

I've bought all the products.. Almond milk.. Soya butter etc. 

I think mayo and real butter will be what I miss most!! But I'm trying not to think about it too much! 

fav vegan snack so far!! Love all the nakd bars! Did not expect them to be so tasty! 

As for meat....

Well while I am trying to solve my sinus issues I thought maybe I might just try and sort my dodgey liver issues too...

I have Gilbert's syndrome.. It's basically high levels of a yellow pigment in your blood called bilirubin.. It causes extreme fatigue and yellowing of the whites of the eyes... I get both! 

Here is the yellow corners of my eyes!! Hate it! So yucky!!

It's not life threatening or any bit serious really but some things make the symptoms worse like red meat, refined sugars, alcohol, starvation and stress... Yawn...

So that is why I'm going to be avoiding red meats and most other meats too.. Maybe just a bit of chicken here and there (obsessed with le chicken!!) 

 

... So here I go... Wish me luck!! Haha! :-P

Single Mother

Hi everyone! Here is my story! :)

My name is Katie Moynihan and I live in Cork in Ireland. I'm 20 years old and I have a 6 month old baby called Rian Andrew. (It's prenounced Ree-an) :)
I dont work right now and I dropped out of college after one year. I studied Herbal Science. (don't even ask.)
My days consist of spending 24/7 with my handsome baby boy and my family.
I've had huge changes in my life in the past year or so and dispite being really worried my life was going down the complete wrong path, I love how it has all turned out now.
I'm a single mom but my babies dad is always there if we need him and Rian spends a day a week, usually Saturday, with him and his family! We get along for the most part but just are not suited to eachother in a relationship!
I decided to set up a blog as something to keep my sanity haha! But really, I just want to document Rian growing up and the things I experince along the way.

I'm very brutally honest about everything and won't pretend to like something unless I do. 
I think I have a very laid back approach to parenting.. THAT SAID, I do get mini heart attacks if I think Rian isnt breathing anymore!! (It's a mother thing!haha)
I hope you enjoy reading about our lives :)

So.....

Let the journey begin!
