Hello! Welcome everyone to my brand spanking new website and blog! So this is my very first (albeit not really proper) blog post! I have no idea who I’m talking to yet…but I have to say, I’m excited to find out! For you to get to know me, me to get to know you all […]

You know yourself, we were all there for it. It was nothing and everything at once. Sure I'm (v!) glad to see the back of it but it was also a year of major growth, thankful for that. Coming in to 2021 stronger, resilient & capable. Hopeful. Definitely looking forward to seeing my people again though!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโœจ

Can't believe it's nearing the end of September AND it's the first official day of Autumn today. On top of all the other feels we're all feeling, I've been so uninspired recently (& for the most part of 2020 up to now let's be honest) so I'm ready for the change in season & hoping it brings some motivation & creativity with it!

In other news, went to the beach earlier, had the whole thing to ourselves. Perfect amount of gloom & fresh sea air, good for the soul & exactly what I needed. Anyone else prefer beach walks when it's moody?? ๐ŸŒŠ

It's not over & life's still upsidedown atm, but I do feel like August's going to bring change & more positive/ hopeful feels, like we're finally starting to come through you know? ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป
โ€ข
Really close up, wow but haven't worn makeup makeup like this tb for ages. Not a filter fan, but was feeling this grainy 90's esq one (& the way my smoky wings turned out that day) way more than my too matte flat skin pre filter. Really in to/ much prefer a pared back glowy skin like skin nowadays โœจ
Can't remember all the product details at this stage, but do know lips were courtesy of @meltcosmetics  dreamboy anyway, obsessed ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Hope you're all doing ok & having a great weekend whatever you're up to ๐Ÿ–ค

Isn't this freshly opened @meltcosmetics ๐–Ž๐–’๐–’๐–”๐–—๐–™๐–†๐–‘ gel liner the most satisfying sight ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ–ค

After a bit of a blog hiatus for the last few months, I'm finally back! There's a new post up today if you fancy a read (uploads have moved & will now be on Monday mornings) starting with 3 things I've learnt from a low buy lockdown. It's definitely given me food for thought & hopefully will you too! Link for that's in my bio ๐Ÿ‘€ let me know what you think & have you been doing anything similar??
โ€ข
Also just a friendly reminder that even though posts are getting 'back to normal', it doesn't mean the world is any better & the fight is over. I'll be continuing to support, listen, learn, share, advocate & speak out about injustices. We need to keep going! Ps. I've saved useful info & resources to my BLM highlight above if needed & will keep doing so! 
Hope you're all staying safe & healthy ๐Ÿ–ค

Don't mistake #blackouttuesday solidarity for sile Don't mistake #blackouttuesday solidarity for silence. It's not NOT sharing. Continue to stand up, speak up & support. Focus on & share what matters. Black lives matter.

Really feeling this metallic copper liner against those neutral mattes...wanted to do a full face for this one (I know, who is she?! I do want to make an effort to post more full faces though) but after managing to give myself a chemical burn on my chin this week (love that journey for me), have an eye close up instead. It's also been ages since I got the @mehronmakeup metallic powders out & had forgotten how beaut they are ๐Ÿ–ค
