Thou Shalt remember that glowing skin is always in When it comes to skincare, I'm definitely not the same girl I was 12-months ago... and might I just say, a freakin' men.   The Functional Nurse:  https://www.instagram.com/the_functional_nurse/?hl=en https://www.thefunctionalnurse.blog/

Thou shalt remember, treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen  When it comes to self-help books, there are very few proverbial stones I've left unturned. On my quest to try and rerail the life I've spent the last 29 years derailing, I've turned to help from the literary likes of The Secret, The Barefoot Investor, The Subtle Art of not Giving a...., The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a...... (it's low key ridiculous the amount of ...... I have to give) and who could forget... Eat Pray Love. The OG basic 'B' bible.  My emotional instability, coupled with my unwavering positivity, means I fall for self-help books faster than I fall for boys. So imagine what happened when I found a book that combined the two? Ahh spoiler - a brilliant bloody episode... that's what!

RECORDED LIVE at Melbourne Comedy Festival 2019 Thou shalt remember, that if you're going to suffer the guilt, make sure you enjoy the pleasure. When it comes to pleasures, I've come to realise that we tend separate them into two very distinct categories. Our pleasures, and our guilty pleasures. Our pleasures are those things we talk about openly and passionately, in a boarder line brag-worthy way. The double F45 class you smashed before work, the charcuterie boards you made that your squad insta'ed and the mountain you climbed at 5am on Sunday morning because you were feeling hashtag blessed. But our guilty pleasures, are those slightly more unorthodox quirks that we're a little more hesitant to disclose about ourselves. You know, listening to Ce La Vie by Bewitched on repeat while on the step machine, watching Buffy re-runs in the middle of the day and popping black heads with the back of a bobby pin in the car, while you're waiting for the lights to change. But despite how cringe these quirks may be, the pleasure they bring in the moment, far outweighs the guilt. Especially the blackhead one, like honestly get amongst it. So today, I propose we drop the guilt from our guilty pleasures, and get comfortable with our cringe. But I can't do it alone...

**DISCLAIMER** This episode contains content around food and restriction, that may be triggering. When it comes to diets, I've never met one I haven't dabbled in. From Paleo, Keto and Atkins, right through to Lemon Detox, Celebrity Slim and Skinny Teas, I've been there, done that, worn the consequences. Like, I was so committed to that diet life, that I even made up my own as I revealed wayyy back in season 2. Kweens, do not and I repeat do not try that at home. I fell into a dangerous trap, one that took me literally years to find my way out of. Despite being the happy, healthy, and hungry gal that I am today, my health and fitness journey wasn't great. So this week, I decided it was time for some hash tag real talk. And I have the perfect girl gang member to call on for this one...

Thou shalt remember, that in the world where everyone is overexposed, the coolest thing you can do is maintain an air of mystery. If that really is true, then I'm officially the most uncool person in Australia... if not the entire universe. I've literally made a living off overexposing the trials and tribulations faced by the twenty something, but you know what? I'm not mad about it. But in an effort to shake thing up a bit, I've dug deep this week, to reveal a few tidbits that ripley's believe it or not, you probably don't know about me.

Thou shalt remember, money talks... but all mine ever says is goodbye. If you're like me and stuck somewhere between, god I really need to save some money and you only live once, don't worry, you're the opposite of alone. I'm the girl who'll spend $80 on pre-workout, but cancel an online order because it incurred a $5 shopping fee. The girl who'll spend $26 on a salad for lunch, but will buy my bikinis from k-mart. And lastly, I'm the girl who'll drop $7.50 on an iced long black (aka cold bean water) but will take my own snacks to the movies. Aka I'm the girl who's a mass of financial contradictions. But I don't want to be that girl anymore. So this week, instead of calling on a member from my go-to-girl-gang, I'm ringing in the professionals. **FULL DISCLAIMER** Yes, Chelsea is a Financial Advisor, but just note that this is a guide and general discussion for a broad audience.

Thou shalt remember, that great things don't happen by accident... they happen by appointment. When it comes to schedules, I understand more than most, the perils of trying to fit everything in. I'm the girl who severely overcommits, eternally double books, and consequently, often find my rescheduling or rain checking... But in the last 12 months, there are a few things - 5 to be exact - that I will never ever miss... even if it means - gasp - taking a day off work.

Thou Shalt Remember, that first impressions don't get second chances  Three of the most important lessons my mum ever taught me were... don't wear black and navy together, never chase after a bus, train or a man, and don't judge a book by it's cover. Admittedly, I've made a few questionable fashion choices and chased more than a few buses and boys in my time - cringe. But I can honestly say that when it comes to first impressions, I'm all about those second chances... and thank-god I'm not the only one...

Thou Shalt Remember to eat, sleep, slay, repeat. According to the dictionary... well like, the urban dictionary, a slay kween is "Someone who is full of confidence and fire, and stands out from the crowd. Yasssss kweeeeen, slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. You guys know, that slay kween is probably one of my most used phrases... it's pretty up there with plot twist, and the infamous... okay so. So this week, I'm giving you a step-by-step guide, on how to slay like the kween that you are. And to make it even more exciting, I've decided to turn it into a game.

Thou shalt remember, that when women support other women, incredible things happen.  When it comes to friends, I hit the girl gang jackpot.  I'm the first to admit, that signing up to a friendship with me is definitely not for the faint hearted. If you don't like drama, you need not apply.  I'm not the easiest, calmest or most low maintenance girl in the gang (sorry squad). But through every breakdown, break-up, blown tyre and broken hand... they've stuck by for better or for worse. Come to think of it, in sickness and in health. And I'll just go right ahead and say, til death do us part...
