I am exactly where I want and need to be.


So why would I care what you think?

I think I have finally made peace with the fact that some people can't be pleased.

Being a people pleaser, it took a long time to get to that point.

I constantly longed for validation off people. I wanted people to validate that I was good enough. I wanted people to validate that I was worthy of time or attention. I wanted people to validate my own existence.

But now I validate myself. I recognise that I am worthy of time or attention. I recognise that I am worthy of my own existence. I don't look for that in people anymore, because I have found it within myself. And that has allowed me to truly say,

I honestly don't care.


I don't care what you think of me. I don't care that you think I'm weird, I don't care that you don't like my hair, or my clothing choices, or my obsession with astrology or my love for animals. I don't care that you think being vegetarian is odd, or that…

I think I have finally curated my perfect, everyday makeup routine. It includes those trusty grab and go products, that you just know will perform like you want them too. I thought I would share them with you today, to give you a glimpse into what I put on my face most days. I wear makeup about 4 out of 7 days, maybe 5, depending on when I am at Uni/Work.

For my base, I like to keep it pretty simple, using a nice medium coverage satin foundation and a lightweight dewy concealer. My top ones at the moment are both from the drugstore, making them really affordable and accessible. The foundation is the Rimmel match perfection and the concealer is Bourjois radiance reveal. The foundation gives me the exact amount of…

I am excited to announce that I am one of MoveGB's Sheffield ambassadors for their #MoveGBSheffield campaign.

When I was approached to take part in this campaign, I was a little taken aback, thankful, but taken aback. I am not a fitness freak, exercise enthusiast or sport saint. I am just someone who tries to get fit occasionally, and fails. I fail because I can never find an exercise I enjoy, or a programme/membership that truly works for me and my lifestyle.

But that is what #MoveGB is all about. They are for everyone, regardless of your background. Regardless of your experience. Their emphasis on flexibility and variety really shows it. Their memberships, starting at as little as £1 a week for their discovery trial, allow you to trial and test many different classes, gyms and studios, in order for you to find one that you personally enjoy. There are so many different activities to choose from, including swimming to pilates, that you'll never get bored, and you'll never …
