Tiny Hearts by Kimberly Henderson

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Being alone in NZ with my girl it brought me to tears. We came to NZ when Chrissy was 4 weeks old after I gave in to my ex-husband and left the UK and I've been trapped here many years.  I realise how hard I made it for myself now but I love my NZ family, they have kept me strong and we've had so much fun together and I wouldn't change a thing.

For every parent, especially solo parents watch these two videos in order:

Phewfee! Is On The Move

Help me get this out in the shops everyone! :D

I've officially entered the Virgin Pitch To The Rich contest with my product Phewfee! in hope to get it out there for the wonderful ladies of our world to enjoy.

If you didn't know, this natural oil crushes 70% of menstruation pain in 20 minutes.  I think we all deserve that.  I've felt so selfish keeping it to myself all these years so I have shared it with a few friends and it seems to work every time.  So why isn't it out there for everyone?

Well, I'm a solo mum, stuck in New Zealand with no family.  My family and home town is in the UK (should be moving back in May) and my partner and boys are in the US (long story for another long romantic post XD).  I do have a steady job but I've no clue with business start-up and I find it hard to face these things alone.  Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of wonderful friends in NZ and they have supported me in my NZ journey - I am especially grateful to every one of them and I believe I've told them enough for them to know this.  But in short, it is harder to manage solo away from family and starting a business is something I'm struggling with alone.

Anyway... enough of the downer.  I really want to win this contest and get this oil out there for everyone.  I think it'd be great if it helps many more women out there and are readily available.  I can't believe it isn't there already, that no one knows how amazing this oil blend is.  It is pretty simple and effective, and the ladies of the world deserve to know about it!

So please go and vote so we can own this!  Thank you so much <3
