So as you may have noticed, the blog has a new skincare routine and it’s looking pretty fancy! I think all this newness calls for a reintroduction.
Hi, my name’s Lucy. I’m twenty-four years old, five feet and seven inches tall, and I look a lot like my grandma. A middle-aged woman once told me I have “come to bed” eyes – a dark, dark brown that makes the pupils hard to find. I’m short-sighted, which was a novelty at first but now I avoid wearing my glasses whenever I can. I don’t really suit glasses or hats.
I grew up in Tunbridge Wells, a town half way between London and Brighton. I went to a grammar school; I studied a lot of academic subjects but I spent most of my free periods in the art rooms. I made it to uni and studied history at SOAS, still in my opinion one of the best places you could study. I had three lovely but quite difficult years, culminating in graduation, a breakup, and a fear I had an alcohol addiction. You could say it went well.
When I was about fourteen, I started making videos and sharing them on YouTube, inspired by beautycrush and the vlogbrothers. Ten years later, it’s somehow my job to make content and share it online. I still can’t think of a better career. I talk about beauty, fashion and lifestyle, with a bit of self-care, feminism and social commentary thrown in. I think it’s important to bridge the gap between zero-waste bloggers and unmoderated consumerism, so I try to encourage a thoughtful approach somewhere in the middle.
I love skincare, SZA, and everything grapefruit-flavoured that I have ever tried. I like going to galleries and I make a very good mushroom risotto. I live in London with my lovely housemate Aviva. I have a wonderful boyfriend called Jack. I try to see my sister and my parents as often as possible. Things are good; I am very grateful.
Thanks for reading, watching and supporting me throughout this year. Onto the next, with a renewed sense of purpose and a fresh blog to match!
Yes! Love the new blog style and it totally matches your personality! <3

I’ve been following you along on your YouTube journey for a while now, but this was just such a lovely, well-written reintroduction. There’s something so refreshing about your writing – it feels like the perfect balance between professional and relatable content. And such a fab site refresh to match.
You are the cutest thing ever! I am a mom of a 22 year-old girl who has gone through, and still does, the wringer with body issues, alcohol and general self-esteem difficulties. I came across the Banging Book Club because I will be leading a Book Club in Santiago, Chile soon, and was looking for tips. I loved you and your friends….and did a bit more research afterwards. And, found you! I would love Carlota to get to know you and what you share, and feel great about HERSELF! Thank you so much and good for you, all of your success on YouTube!
Just wanted to say that I think you look very cute in glasses 🙂
