I was a homeless, depressed, drug addict, who hit rock bottom, in that moment I had two choices, get help or give up, I’m so glad I got help, and fought through it all. Today, I’m happy, healthy and I’m an advocate for those still struggling ✌️💜
#ad When it comes to men’s health, many of us don’t want or know how to talk about it, and that’s why organizations like @Movember are so crucial in opening up conversations about often uncomfortable topics. Since April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to chat with you about it. • The #KnowThyNuts campaign from Movember reminds all men, myself included, to stay on top of their physical health, specifically their pair down there. Since Testicular Cancer is the number one cancer among young men, we all must watch for any signs. • 1. Know Thy Nuts - check regularly for any changes. 2. In a steamy shower, cup, roll and check both. 3. If anything hurts or seems off, make an appointment with a doctor and get checked out. • So this April, take some time for yourself and check (and for all the ladies out there, tell the men in your life to do it, too), and let’s start being open about being good to ourselves, our bodies, and our physical health. • For more information, please visit Movember.com/knowthynuts • #testicularcancerawareness #movember #partner
Over the past 12 years, I’ve learnt that optimism has not only got me through some dark times, it is also a happiness magnet. If you stay positive (most of the time, cause let’s be honest, no one’s positive every minute of every day) good things and good people will be drawn to you. ✌️💚
After more than 20 years of smoking, as of May 9th, I’m now 3 years cigarette free. I have to admit, I never thought I’d be able to say that. The take away, almost anything is possible, you just have to believe it (and put in the work) 💜
Travel must-haves ✌️✈️😁 • After years of travelling, I’ve found there are a few things I always need along the way. • 1. Travel Toothbrush - it’s handy, compact and it works, I use the Philips Sonicare Travel Toothbrush • 2. A travel powerbank. I personally love the Kase Me MagSafe Power Bank. (use code BB5MR9DC at checkout to get 20% off ) • 3. A travel pack - I’ve been loving the LifeKit from Solgaard (discount code: C9SIIF at: www.solgaard.co/?ref=bb-gpm1j1 ) • 4. Water proof shoes or boots - I’m obsessed with everything from Vessi • 5. Great sunglasses - to be honest, I always take two and the fold ups from Zenni have become my go-to
The first step in making a change, is admitting to yourself what you were doing, wasn’t working and a huge thing I’ve learnt along the way, making a change, any change really, starts with changing your mindset, which I know is easier said than done, but with time, and often with help, it is possible to start your journey to change for the better ✌️👍 #MentalHealth
