Many parents feel sad as they watch their children grow up. I have loved watching my baba… whether blossoming in work, friendships or by having her own family. It is our job to love them, and their job to be themselves, be free and flourish ♥️
Statistics show you are likely to spend 95% of your time together with your parents (and in turn offspring) in the first 18 years of their life ♥️ Make the time count.
For someone who talks a lot… I’m utterly speechless ♥️ THANK YOU to everyone who voted for Mascara & Brow Duo in the @cew_uk awards…. WE ONLY WENT AND WON ✨♥️💪🏾😱
Your body, your rules… do not let society change how you see yourself ♥️
We all have moments of self doubt, especially when it comes to posting photos… how will I be perceived, do I look ok, is the light right? With the heat, some people wear less and some people wear more depending on how they see themselves. Don’t be disheartened when scrolling, remember people generally post the best version of themselves… but it’s ok to post the content version, the version where the photo shows your inner peace ♥️
“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don’t know it, all of that doesn’t even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It’s not like you have forever, so don’t waste any of your seconds, don’t throw even one of your moments away.”― C. JoyBell C.
Sharing some of my skincare staples from @theorganicpharmacy ♥️
The Carrot Butter Cleanser has a lightweight texture that effortlessly melts away impurities, including eye makeup-up. Gently massage on to dry skin, before using a muslin cloth soaked in hot water to fully remove the cleanser.
The Antioxidant Duo is a skincare power couple. Infused with rose hip, ginseng and lemon, the gel serum duo boosts collagen production and helps to give your skin a natural glow. Apply 1-2 drops, morning and night to clean skin for an instantly nourished feeling. As well as leaving your skin brighter, it smells incredible!
Finally, the Vitamin Protection Face Cream is rich in antioxidants and skin conditioning extracts to help moisturise and improve radiance. My skin loved this, especially post holiday. It feels fresh but comforting at the same time.
All the products are pharmacist formulated, dermatologist tested and recommended by therapists… and they’ve just had a brand refresh improving their packaging and lowering prices!

What does it mean to be a judge for beauty awards? It means testing and trialling lots of products, both on myself and on others. Looking at texture, fragrance, application, pricing, accessibility, sustainability, immediate impact and long term. I’m honoured to be a judge for the @whowhatwear.uk Next In Beauty Awards this year ♥️ Entries are open until June 28th 2024 and you can find out more here: whowhatwearevents.uk/next-in-beauty 🫶🏾♥️
When judging awards what would you most like to see…?
Quick, easy makeup doesn’t have to be dull… sixty seconds is all it takes for a glowing fresh finish✨ Whether you are short on time, or are looking for a pared back beauty routine watch along as I add in light definition and a flush of colour on the wonderful @jaxlamy from @weare.madeofmore
I always start on freshly cleansed and hydrated skin. Prepping with the Cleansing Balm followed by the Brightening Day Shield.
I then follow up with a flush of pink Cheek Colour to bring radiance to Jackie’s complexion and Lip Serum Balm in nude to nourish the lips… tapping on a hint of Cheek Colour in pink on top. A quick brush through the brows and slick of Mascara defines the eyes and finish off with Cheek Colour nude for a light reflecting glow✨
Simple, natural makeup that enhances your features.

I may not have met François Nars, but I’ve loved seeing his journey… from 12 lipsticks in @barneysny through to @narsissist as it stands today… and not forgetting his incredible work as a photographer. A true creative ♥️ Always brilliant to get to play with the products, the cheek colour in teased is gorgeous.
