Exactly a year ago since I had my hysterectomy ~ life changing surgery that changed me forever… For months and months afterwards I felt broken and lost and then slowly day by day I started to heal. I am healing… It’s taken me on an emotional journey of deeper self discovery and self awareness. A rich and spiritual awakening that has both stripped me bare and strengthened me in equal measures. In July 2019 as I lay there on the hospital bed praying to live ~ every part of me knew my old ...
Falling in love with Eve mattress
Would you believe it if I told you we'd had the same mattress for nearly 15 years?... It was a good one with a fancy topper and everything but it's just one of those things we never got round to replacing. Even though the springs had gone on one side and it was propped up underneath with a pile of books, every night one of us had to sleep in THE dip! To be fair to each other we'd take it in turns by flipping it over every couple of weeks but that meant whoever drew the short straw would wake up ...
Music makes you happy
Hiya loves! If you follow me anywhere online you will know that I absolutely ADORE music! Funk, soul, r&b, hip hop, disco, reggae... and even grime got me throwing some shapes! Haha, if it's got a beat, it's guaranteed to get me dancing! Even on a bad day, there ain't nothin that's gonna lift my spirits more than turning up the sounds on a pumping tune! So I was absolutely thrilled when Libratone got in touch to ask me to collaborate with them on a campaign to encourage you to set your ...
new vogue
Me and my girl inspired by the new Vogue... I've waited a long time to feel this change and could not love it more... when I was a little girl I dreamed of being a fashion designer and growing up I used to watch my mama swing her hips to the sound of Motown and disco with her big fro, platform shoes and gold sequin dresses' pretty sure she used to wear this shade of eyeshadow too. She had a soul and style that I aspired to but I never really saw it replicated anywhere, especially not in ...
Courage and spice podcast
A few weeks ago I was contacted by one of my favourite soul sisters of the moment, the wonderful and super inspiring Sas Petherick. Sas is a huge fan of the work I've been doing with the 'free up my insta' hashtag and movement so invited me to talk about imperfection and instagram on her Podcast - Courage and Spice. Naturally I was thrilled as the podcast series covers a whole range of issues close to my heart, especially self doubt. Tons of the mentoring work I do deals with confidence ...
The vulnerability hangover
Ugh. The vulnerability hangover, we've all been there right?... when you completely over analyse eeeeeverything you've done the day or night before. And it's totally unrelated to alcohol. I've been there lots of times in the past after a few cheeky cocktails ; ) but mostly they're not drunken thoughts, they're personal feelings instead. Last week I was busy working on a 'secret' project which was taking me way out of my comfort zone so all of the vulnerability vibes came rushing in! Not ...
