I am turning 40 in April, and honestly, I have never been more into my skin. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that hits quite like a quiet evening after a busy day, hair up, cleanser on, and an episode of Love Island. Anyone else watching it? Because that combination of villa drama and a double cleanse is elite self care.
Coming from a home where my mum loved to read, I definitely know where my love for books comes from. Getting stuck into a good book with a cup of tea is honestly one of my favourite things to do, and seeing my mum reading while I was growing up is without a doubt the reason I still read today.
There is something about that first tiny bit of sunshine in the UK that just lifts everything.The big coats get pushed to the back of the wardrobe, the big scarves are no longer essential, and suddenly we can get out in just a cardigan without checking the weather app five times first!. Spring really does have a way of refreshing not just the seasons, but our wardrobes.
When I say I have been counting down the days until this was released, I have been so excited for this one to come out. I was on a no-spend January, and then ended up taking so long to get through it, but we finally got here :)
Capturing memories with pictures has been part of my life for a very long time. I honestly think it stems from my uncle Kevin loving photography and often showing me his cameras and how film is developed. For the past eight years, it’s also been my full-time job and I love it.
There’s something about this year that’s making me want to take better care of myself. I turn 40 in April, and let me tell you, your girl burns herself out daily. Freelancing while raising kids means I am always switched on, always thinking about the next thing, and then I wonder why I’m crashing by 7pm, ready for bed like I have run a marathon.
