Welcome to Lifes Ashy: A Real-Life Blog About PCOS, Adulting & First-Home Feels
Hi! I’m Ash — and Lifes Ashy is my honest, unfiltered space on the internet. If you've ever felt like you’re juggling ten things at once (bad skin, bills, hormone chaos, confusing mortgage terms, and the occasional identity crisis), you’re not alone. I’m living it too — and this blog is for people like us.
Why I Started This Blog
To put it simply: life felt too overwhelming not to write about it.
I live in Australia and deal with the day-to-day realities of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), buying a home for the first time, and just trying to be a functioning adult. What I noticed? There weren’t enough real, relatable voices talking about what that actually feels like.
Everyone online either has it all figured out, or they're selling some miracle cure that costs way too much. But what about those of us in the messy middle? The ones still figuring things out? The ones with hormone fatigue, a bank account on edge, and zero energy left for Pinterest-level meal prep?
That’s where Life's Ashy comes in.
What You'll Find Here
This blog is built on three core vibes: honesty, simplicity, and support.
Here’s what you can expect from future posts:
🩺 Living with PCOS
From bloating and mood swings to diet experiments and medical gaslighting — I’ll share what’s worked (and what hasn’t) when it comes to managing PCOS in real life.
🏠 First-Home Buying in Australia
Mortgage brokers, open inspections, unexpected fees, and learning what the heck LMI is. I’ll break it all down in plain English and tell you what I wish I knew sooner.
🧠 Adulting & Mental Health
The good days, the anxious spirals, the late-night “what am I even doing?” thoughts — this blog is here for all of it. If you’re overwhelmed trying to balance self-care, finances, and your future, I get it. And I’ve got you.
💻 Digital Tools & Helpful Products
You’ll also find links to my digital creations like the PCOS Survival Toolkit, a gentle, helpful resource I made to support others who are tired of the noise and just want something that feels calm, supportive, and real.
A Bit About Me
I’m not a doctor, finance expert, or life coach. I’m just a regular person with a lot of lived experience, a deep love for earthy pastel aesthetics, and a desire to make life feel a little less lonely.
Life's Ashy is where I show up as myself — imperfect, unfiltered, and trying my best. If that sounds like something you need in your feed, stick around. I’m just getting started.
