Heard about thrush before but don't really know what it is? Feeling a bit "off" and wondering if this might be why? Not sure how to treat it or ask for help?⁠
⁠
We're answering some of these questions for you this week in the full article linked in our bio! ⁠
⁠
And don't forget, there's nothing about your body or the way it sometimes behaves that you should be ashamed of. The world around us sometimes tries to convince us that we should keep these things to ourselves, or suffer through them in silence instead of prioritising our wellbeing. But that's a load of 💩! Don't let a little bit of embarrassment get in your way.⁠

@grace_alice_oshea is a sex & intimacy specialist and author from Kerry. She has delivered sex & relationship education to thousands of young people in schools and universities in Ireland for the past 7 years. Her book 'Sex Educated' is a one-stop-shop guide for teens and young adults about all things sex, relationships, bodies, puberty, porn, gender, sexuality, anatomy, and so much more. This is the education we all need, everything from where to learn about sex, to what real relationships look like. We can't recommend it enough!⁠

Let this be your reminder that it's okay to have days when you don't feel your best. Just like the moon, you are always beautiful and deserving of love, no matter what phase you're in. Embrace your journey, shine in your own way, and be gentle with yourself. 💖⁠

✨ Discover Yourself Through Journaling ✨⁠
⁠
Have you ever tried journaling? It's a powerful tool to help you understand yourself better and grow in ways you never imagined. Whether you're reflecting on your goals, exploring your emotions, or envisioning your future, journaling is like having a heart-to-heart with yourself.⁠
⁠
How do I start journaling?⁠
⁠
Choose Your Journal: Find a notebook or app that you love.⁠
Set Aside Time: Dedicate a few minutes each day or week.⁠
Use Prompts: Start with 1 of the 8 above, and then see where your words take you. ⁠
⁠
Why is journaling a good idea?⁠
⁠
Self-Discovery: Understand your feelings, thoughts, and desires.⁠
Stress Relief: Release your worries and declutter your mind.⁠
Goal Setting: Clarify what you want and how to achieve it.⁠
Creativity Boost: Unlock new ideas and perspectives.⁠
Emotional Health: Process and heal from past experiences.⁠
⁠
Give it a try this summer, see how journaling can transform your life, and let us know how it goes!. ⁠
⁠
Happy writing! 📝💖⁠
