Welcome to my May 2024 wrap up!
Here's a break down of what I got up to this month:
Wrapping Up May What Happened This Month
Hair
For the first time in a long time I didn't change my hair colour this month. I've decided to keep the chocolate brown for a while. My main goal now is to improve the overall condition of my hair. It's definitely in need of some TLC.
Health
I started the month being ill. I caught a cold from going to a concert in the rain and then got ill again straight after that so not the best start to the month.
I also had a horrible migraine this month that knocked me out for a couple of days. I haven't had one in a while but this one was a beast. I basically struggle in a dark room for a couple of days trying to move as little as possible. Everything hurt. It gave me terrible nausea too and so didn't manage to eat much either.
Even the days following the migraine were bad. It was a bit like having a hangover. I'm not sure what caused it but I think probably connected to hormones.
Do you suffer from migraines? Got any tips for a faster recovery?

Blogging
May was not a great month for blogging. My lowest traffic month in a long time. I did expect a dip in traffic though as it was also the month I published the least posts and, again due to health issues, didn't manage to promote as much as I usually would.
Traffic for May: 28,042 page-views
Number of blog posts published in May: 15
Current DA score: 30
Reading challenges
I didn't do a great job with my reading either as all the headaches made reading difficult.

Travel
We kicked off the month with the May Day concert on the 1st. This year it was hosted at Circo Massimo. It rained... a lot. We had a great time though and I'm glad we went.
Later on in the month I had a day out in the centre with my youngest son. We had great fun exploring the shops and checked out the new Hamely's store.
We also went to the Carlo Bilotti museum in Villa Borghese and visited the Basilica on Via Nazionale too.
I'm now excited about having more days out like this during the summer break.
Fitness
I really need to get back into doing regular workouts. I've been doing some exercising here and there throughout the month but definitely need to schedule fixed objectives for the month. I'm just not disciplined enough to do daily workouts without having a fixed goal for the day.
