How are you doing today? Lately I feel like everyone around me has felt a bit off. Maybe it’s the daylight savings change, or the overcast weather we’ve been having. Maybe it’s the coke in the London water supply? (To clarify: I don’t actually think it’s the coke in the water supply.) Metaphorical or not, there’s something in the water, and it’s definitely left me feeling not that great this…

In the four years that I have been cruelty-free, I’ve tried a lot of haircare products. At times, it has been challenging. I feel like I’ve had every haircare concern on the planet, from dryness to oiliness, flaking to fallout to split ends. I’ve had some experiments with dye too; in 2017 I decided to add some blonde into my hair, and spent the rest of the year finding the…

Let’s Talk Youtube. As you probably know, I love a bit of YouTube. I’ve been on the site for nearly a decade (dear lord) making videos and watching videos. It’s an amazing platform. I’m always trying to find new content creators, and it seems that you are too as I am always getting messages asking for creator recommendations. I thought I’d compile a list of my current favourite creators, all…

The 2019 Home Stretch I don’t know why, but I find it really hard to set goals. I bought a goals journal two months ago, and the one time I went to a coffee shop with the sole purpose of filling it out, I started panicking and had to leave. It’s time I got over this. With the nature of my job, it’s arguably more important for me to…

As I was sitting down to write this blogpost, I noticed a draft post lurking underneath the published pieces. It was titled “I’m Feeling Disconnected From My Body,” and I wrote it in June earlier this year. As I skimmed over it, I realised that I have made a fair bit of progress since the beginning of summer. Step by step, I have been tackling the restrictive feeling I’d had…

As it’s the last hot day in the foreseeable future, I thought I’d share these photos Georgia and I shot on the hottest week of the year. Whilst I’m ready for autumn, I’m going to miss the sticky hot weather we have had these past couple of months. My re-useable flasks have developed a whole new selling point, keeping water cool for hours as I explored the city in the…

So let’s talk about last week shall we? It was a definite insert-heart-eye emoji-here kind of getaway. We went away for a quiet week with Jack’s family in Puglia, Italy, to eat local food, soak up some sun and generally decompress. We stayed in a villa a couple of minutes from Monopoli (yes, Monopoli Monopoly does exist,) a beautiful town in the “heel” of the country. The weather was incredible;…

Did I need to start using that fourth toner? There’s nothing I love more than trying new makeup. I always book in at least an hour on holiday for waltzing into Sephora and spritzing, swatching and sampling my way through products I haven’t tried before. I can’t even tell you how excited I am for the new mega-Boots’ that have opened recently with the expanded product selection. I’m always trying…

Let’s get glowy 🌞 I love me a bit of skincare, I really do. There’s nothing like the sweet feeling of slathering your face in a mask, or taking off a long day’s makeup. I tend to try a lot of skincare, but once I find something, it stays in my routine for months, and sometimes years. However, I do seasonal change-ups to make sure my skincare is weather-appropriate and…

I realised it’s been too long since I wrote a blog post, so get ready for a big debrief that will probably read more like a diary entry. I’ve got a glass of white wine and a bowl of pasta beside me, which I’d say is good preparation. Let me try and share some of what’s been going on over the past couple of months with you. I’ve…
