LUSH HALLOWEEN 2025 | MY FIRST SPOOKY PICKS

 Tis the season for all things pumpkin (almost!), and I can already feel autumn creeping in. You all know I live for this time of year, candles, pumpkin pie and of course, the Halloween range at Lush. I popped in today to have a little browse, and honestly, I had to stop myself from going completely overboard.

HOW TO MAKE MY NAN’S CHICKEN CURRY

 One dish I only ever seem to have at my mum’s house is my nan’s curry. It’s funny how childhood dinners never quite taste the same once you’ve got your own home.We recently had it whilst visiting, and after a few messages asking how to make it ,I thought: I’ve got to let you all in on the recipe.

MY PERIMENOPAUSE JOURNEY & WHY I SWEAR BY COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTS

 If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I’ve recently started talking about my perimenopause journey. It’s not always an easy conversation to have, but I believe it’s an extremely important one. Perimenopause brings with it so many changes, fluctuating hormones, mood shifts, hot flushes, disrupted sleep, and noticeable changes in skin, hair, and energy levels. For me, one of the ways I have been able to support myself through this stage of life is by adopting wellness habits that truly make a difference.

SMALL DRIVE, BIG WIN | MY FIRST SOLO TRIP TO THE PARK

Today I went on my very first little road trip, and honestly, what a buzz it was! When I say “road trip,” it was only a 20-minute drive to the park, but for me, that is such a big achievement. Any journey I make alone as a new driver is a huge win, and these are the moments I have been so excited for since passing my driving test a few weeks ago.
