Let’s be real, our skin isn’t what it was in our early twenties, and honestly? That is perfectly fine. Once you hit your 30s, summer can really test your skincare routine. Between the heat, the sun, and the teenage-looking breakout moments, your skin needs a little extra love this time of year.
My last baby has turned 8, and I really don’t know how I feel about it. If you are a regular reader and have followed me on social media for the past 8 years, then you will know Nila and I have had such a close relationship and have done so from birth.
If you are thinking about travelling solo with your kids, first of all, you are amazing. It’s not always easy, but it is so much fun!. Whether you are going away for a weekend, flying abroad or even just hopping on a train, doing it alone with little ones in tow takes a bit of prep and a lot of snacks! :).
This summer, I have decided to set myself a challenge: grow and sculpt my glutes with focused, consistent training. After a full year of working with a personal trainer, I have learned so much about form, muscle activation and how to fuel my body. Now that I am training solo, I know exactly what I am doing, and ready to focus 100%.
If you are a parent, then you will already know the chaos that is the morning routine. Between brushing teeth, finding socks and convincing a small human that school isn't optional and their hay fever isn't a cold, breakfast can often become a last-minute grab-and-go if you are lucky.
My reading has come to a bit of a slump, and I am definitely not reading as much. The joys of getting into bed and scrolling TikTok for hours, I know, shoot me!. I can't help it at the moment.
Let’s be honest, the summer holidays are brilliant, if the sun is out, right?, But they can be long and really expensive if you are not careful. Keeping the kids entertained every day without turning to soft play or endless cinema trips takes some creativity and a decent snack stash.
