Peachy Rebel | Allergic to subtle

My brain is slowly coming back to life, I’ve got

My brain is slowly coming back to life, I’ve got ideas flowing, and they’re all things that I adore, and not what I feel like I -should- be making, cause it’s popular or on trend or insert any number of reasons here. It’s going to be spooky, it’s going to be weird, it’s going to be things that fill me with joy, and I hope they do the same for you.

It’s Monday. Last week was the hubby’s birthday week and we spend most of the week doing as little as possible, we went away for the night of his birthday and it was all very good. I also realised that while I was trying to plan what is next for peachy rebel, I am so burnt out.

I thought I was just burned out in general, and not business wise, but posting on social media at the moment feels like such a chore, and working on new products feels like pulling teeth.

So I’m taking a break. Not a full break, just stepping back. Social media is going on the back burner, new products are on pause, and focus is going to be on my current clients and that’s it for now.

I hope this is short term, and that I’ll come back soon with a fresh spark ready to kick some goals, but I guess we’ll see.

Big hugs to any other burned out babes, or just anyone in lockdown in vic with me.

I don’t care much for Valentine’s Day, but this is my favourite human ever and I’m pretty darn lucky to get to love and be loved by him 365 days a year.

I want to talk about something that’s been going

I want to talk about something that’s been going on with me lately. Around October, I noticed I was waking up sleepy, my sleep wasn’t restful, and the little impulse that tells you when it’a time to wake up, wasn’t there anymore. I noticed that if I didn’t force myself to get out of bed, I would just roll over and go back to sleep over and over again.

I powered through till Christmas, thinking I just needed some time off, some time to unwind from the year that was 2020. No luck, it was just the same tiredness and crap sleep in a different state.

So I went to the doc 2 weeks ago and got my bloods tested, hoping there was an easy solution there, instead they came back totally normal, no answers found there. The doc also just seemed to assume it was my weight, and referred me to a dietician, which is pretty insulting and frustrating.

So now it’s February and I’m still exhausted, my sleep is never restful, and I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with my own body, and trying to work out what’s wrong with it.

I just want to not be so tired all the time.

Forever trying to convince my brain that I don’t

Forever trying to convince my brain that I don’t need to immediately buy supplies for that thing that I saw that looks like fun. Maybe I should try actually making products with the ~many~ things I already have! (Wild I know!)

[image description: a light purple background, with 5 lines of written text in dark blue that read “I’m just a girl with lots of ideas trying not to buy any more art supplies” each line of text has a uneven line underneath in the same dark blue and there are two yellow stars in each corner]

Hey all.
Somehow it’s already February, and I’m still processing last February! Anyone else feeling a little like this at the moment? I hope your tape is strong, and your coffee stronger!

Doing lots of order packing today
Big big thank you to everyone who has ordered cards, each order means so much!
This is literally my dream.

These three haven’t had any orders yet, and I’d love it if they got some love!

Today’s Friday feeling. It’s pouring down in

Today’s Friday feeling.

It’s pouring down in Melbourne, I’ve got a million things to do, and I’m just hoping my brain cooperates! What’s your Friday looking like?
