About me.



Welcome one and all!

I am Marta, a thirty something year old of Polish descent, living in Wales. I love the colour yellow and I am known to many as The Yellow Girl.

I am a warrior of multiple chronic illnesses and a determined fighter against depression and anxiety. I want to create a community of positivity, happiness and knowledge on life. So you do not have to feel alone. A blog focusing on health, happiness and empowerment  in life.
I love to teach, I love to learn. I love to make people happy; intentionally or not. My first language is Polish and I love my heritage. I only wish I could visit Poland more often.

When I was twelve,  my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and we lost her four years later. I never had a normal teenage life and I had to grow up quickly with extra responsibilities and difficulties. However, I have learnt a lot along the way.

I wish I had someone at the time. Someone who could have guided me through life, provided advice  just like a big fluffy security blanket. I have created this blog as a place to store all the information that I have learnt in one place. This is so that if there are others who are or have been in a similar position, they will have some help and will not feel so alone.

With everything that I have suffered my physical and mental health has suffered. I have tried so many different treatments and currently nothing has been working. Hopefully I can also find ways that will provide if not a cure or some rest-bite from the struggles.

 I cannot believe that I stopped blogging for this long. When life gets in the way and you are just trying to stay afloat. A lot has happened these past couple of years and I have realised that I want my blogging to be able to do so much more than just moaning and documenting my life. I want it to be a place where for those who feel lost, need help, need advice or just a place to pass the time. When feeling so lonely and just having somewhere to escape to just for a little bit can help so much. So hello, again.

Self Image.

In today's society self image plays a major role. The thousands of magazines, posters, pictures, films and videos always have actors/models with bodies that are 'perfectly toned', 'beautiful skin', 'wonderful hair and makeup' and everything else in between. All of which have been enhanced with photoshop so no wonder it is not a reachable goal for the normal soul. Due to how they are portrayed to people in today's society, its understandable for others to bully and comment on other peoples appearances. Everyone looks different, even identical twins have certain characteristics that are different. People are so obsessed with looking a certain way. Cosmetic surgery is now a hip thing to be a part of whether it is liposuction, face lift or Botox. There are so many people going under the knife to maintain or fix their issues that they have with the way that they look. There are so many people doing fad diets, starving, with eating disorders because of ho...

How to apply for a job.

Applying for jobs can be time consuming and emotionally draining. There is so much effort in searching for jobs, adapting CV’s, cover letters and filling in application forms for each job found. I have been on both sides of the boat with applying for jobs and getting CV’s/ cover letters from people looking for jobs. Therefore, I have created this post in order to help those who are struggling in the job market. Searching for a job You can look for a job by having a walk through your nearest shopping centre and looking at shop windows. Usually there is a sign in the window that informs of any vacancies or you can always ask a member of staff. If you have purposely gone in to look for jobs make sure you have some CV’s handy with you. If you are searching online have a look at job websites and narrow down your search by choosing options such as job title, location, distance, full-time/part-time and expected salary. This helps whittle out ones that are not suitable to your n...
