• Working on a post (or three) about my skincare routine and just had to take a minute to talk about how important sunscreen is! I live in Scotland and we get approximately 5 days of summer every year but that doesn’t mean that we only need SPF on those sunny days. The suns rays penetrate your skin every single day even if it’s cloudy so it’s important that we protect it-unless the Madge from Benidorm look is one you aspire to of course! I found it really difficult to find a good Vegan and Cruelty Free sunscreen for my face but I found this bad boy from @sunbum when I was in the Dominican last year and it’s been by my side ever since. Available in the UK from @bootsuk and @amazon! . . . . #skincare #skincareroutine #spf #sunscreen #yourskinbutbetter #sunbum #holygrail #protectyourskin #over30skincare #glowingskin #vegan #crueltyfree #veganskincare #crueltyfreeskincare #veganbeauty #cfbeauty #myroutine #myskin #beauty #sunprotection #sunblock #factor50 #healthyskin #summer #skincaretips #facials #naturalskincare #loveyourskin #dermatology #naturalbeauty

  • Got a little bit inspired by @fromfiona_ and her latest post, and remembered I had this photo I took at @disneylandparis last year (almost a year ago 😭) but never got round to sharing! This may be one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken tbqh. If I could be anywhere else right now it would be walking around the parks, stuffing my face with beignets, and getting splashed on Pirates of the Caribbean! . .

  • A wee #flashbackfriday to when my hair was freshly done and my roots weren’t actually offensive, unlike now! My life seems strangely the same but different right now. I’m a key worker so I still come to work everyday, I have a chronic illness so my non-work time was usually couch bound anyway, and I still have to walk my dog (around our garden). But there are small, almost tiny ways in which I am really feeling this lockdown life. I miss my parents, I’ve gone from seeing my dad 3/4 times a week to never, I can’t pop to the library at the end of the road and stock up on books, I can’t meander around the upstairs section in Asda and buy homeware I don’t really need, and I can’t get my damn roots fixed 😭. . . But there are people out there who have it so much worse! And at the end of the day all I’m being asked to do is binge watch Vampire Diaries when I’m not at work-and I can do that! When the alternative is too terrifying to think about is it really so hard for the majority of us to just #stayhome . .

  • Three happy chappies out doing our bit so the real heroes can do their bit! It’s a weird time to be at work at all, but to know we’re helping essential workers get to where they need to be, means we’ll do it with a smile! Please remember that the trains are still running so people who HAVE to travel to work can. We are not here putting our lives at risk, and the lives of our family at risk, so you can have “a day out because the trains are so quiet” or so you can “go visit your girlfriend because you’re off work”! The Government advice very clearly states NO UNESSENTIAL TRAVEL ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT, so #stayhome #savelives and let us #staysafe. Peace and love! . . . . #StayAtHome #ProtectTheNHS #essentialworkers #StayAtHomeSaveLives #StayHealthy #RailwayWorkers #StayInside #FlattenTheCurve #StillAtWork #Scotrail #WorkHardPlayHard #selfie @myscotrail

  • 6 years old!! I can only imagine what our lives would be like if you were actually turning 6 today baby boy! Would there be a party? Would there be books wrapped in paper featuring your favourite cartoon? There would definitely be jelly and ice cream(but that’s mama’s influence). Would you be running around with sticky hands, trying to put a party hat on Lando (the dog)? We can only imagine, but today every year we will celebrate your birthday in what little way we can. So I hope you’d love your balloons, and your new glitter globe (it has a giraffe!! But again that’s just mama’s influence)! We would have loved you fiercely baby boy, forever and always 💙. . . . . #babyloss #miscarriage #babylossawareness #grief #lifeafterloss #pregnancyloss #miscarriageawareness #babylosssupport #bereavedmother #griefjourney #breakthesilence #angelbaby #childloss #blaw #loss #bereavedparents #griefsupport #grievingmother #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #bereavedfather #babylossawarenessweek #duedate #1in4 #babyboy💙

  • This is a GREAT book. This book got my first FIVE STAR review on Goodreads for the year. This book should be given to every young person of colour at school! Until then I would like to give my copy to a young person of colour who would like it. Do you know anyone who could use this amazing book? Please get in touch and let me know. No strings, no postage just let me know and I’ll send it ASAP. . . . . #reading #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #read #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd #instabook #bookaddict #reader #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #writing #bookshelf #bookaholic #booklove #literature #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #library #igreads #bookblogger #readingtime #instabooks #important #pocstoriesmatter #galdem

Someone ought to remind me to take the space buns out before I fall asleep because this is so wild and huge it’s giving Aslan a run for his money 😂😂😂.

I’ve never been more relaxed than soaking in the smells of patchouli, orange, Rosemary, and a beautiful aura cleansing incense stick. It’s time to shake off the negativity of 2019 and open myself up to the amazing things the universe has in store for me and mine in 2020.
