I recently turned 29 and as many people do on or around their birthday, I took some time to reflect on my life so far and who I had become. It was in doing so that I realised somewhere along the lined I’d stopped being quite so hard on myself. I’d stopped berating every decision, … Continue reading Acceptance

The beach body battle
Wow. It's been a minute since I last wrote. Time has flown, but the topic of self care and anxiety still holds an important place in my heart. In truth I've battled with my own mental health on and off recently.. so overcoming that and writing about it was just too much to handle. But … Continue reading The beach body battle
Bringing in an extra sprinkling of happiness

Being passionate about fashion isn't superficial. It's not just about shopping … Continue reading Dressing for clarity not vanity
