Didn’t expect the words “stroke-risk” to be part of my health outlook in 2026, but here we are.

What started as headaches and was diagnosed as a viral swelling of my lymph nodes last week turned into debilitating, splitting pains in my neck and head that no amount of painkillers could alleviate. Thankful for a GP who sprung into action promptly, getting me an immediate referral to a Neurologist who specialises in headaches the following day.

Hearing that I needed to do a brain MRI and a neck CT scan in quick succession was already startling, and when I received my diagnosis of a “left carotid dissection” - essentially a small tear in the inner lining of the main artery on the left of my neck that carries blood to my brain - I was/ still am shocked, to say the least.

How did this happen? Well it could’ve been anything, honestly. I could’ve gotten it while working, exercising, getting a massage, carrying eadie, even sneezing?! Basically, from just living life.

What followed was me being warded immediately for observation over 48hrs to ensure that I responded well to the course of painkillers and blood thinners that I now need to be on for the next 3-6 months.

Life is going to look pretty different now that I’m not allowed to do anything remotely strenuous or stressful, as I need to keep my blood pressure down and hope that the tear in the artery heals itself. No heavy lifting means I can’t even carry Eadie for a while, something she’s expressed much displeasure at. Blood thinning meds also means no alcohol, so that’s gonna be lots of fun. 🙃

Much love to my fam + everyone who’s texted/ came to see me in hosp. (@beavertansy I didn’t get to take a photo of the yummy carrot cake that fed 5 peeps but rest assured you’re included in this!) and big, big love to @dercong for driving up and down the island the past week to get me to my appointments and holding the fort down in my absence. ❤️

I’m discharged and back home with my babies and figuring out this rest and recovery situation. It literally hurts to think these days, so please bear with me if I’m not the most responsive and if my replies are a tad slow. I’ll be back! Till then, Xx 💋

The best kind of launches aren’t loud. They’re intentional.

A few highlights from the @sundaybedding x @melissackoh launch — an afternoon curated down to the last detail. This is Lines At Rest, the kind of collection that met the right room ☁️🛏️

Declaring with absolute GLEE that I’m heading home for an indulgent Sunday afternoon cat nap! 🤭🛏️

There’s nothing quite like sinking into bed, swaddled by soft pillowy sheets of @sundaybedding @melissackoh ‘s Lines at Rest collection, after a long day for… SLEEPY TIME! 😴

There’s a certain calm to a room done right.

Soft lighting, softer layers, and a curated circle of voices gathered for the launch of @sundaybedding x @melissackoh’s new collection.

We handpicked the guests, set the mood, and let the collection do the rest — an intimate evening to connect, unwind, and discover what rest is meant to feel like.

This stunning collection is now available ☁️✨

A day shaped around movement, ritual, and connection.

In collaboration with @jingbotanics and @canningbarandlounge, the experience moved from Sculpt Pilates into a tactile scalp care workshop, before closing over a botanical afternoon tea at Canning Bar & Lounge.
