POV : You want Long Shiny Hair! 💁🏼♀️
Your answer and my go to hair care is @forestandshoreltd 👏🏻
Look how pristine my curls turn out now with my hair oil! My preferred method is using it daily as a post hair wash oil, so once I’ve washed my hair all I do is add some to my mid-lengths and ends to my towel dried hair! As a addition when I’m going to curl my hair, I apply the oil a hour or so before I’m due to curl my hair and let it soak in and then use a low heat setting - and BAM these are the results! 👀👀
Make sure to check them out at @forestandshoreltd as their hair oil is worth every penny, especially as my hair used to be very fine and broke easily! Now it’s strong and super soft! 👏🏻👏🏻
The results speak for themselves! You can also purchase this through @amazon and @amazonprime 🩵

Chronic Illness & Working. The heartbreaking truth - READ BELOW ⤵️
Yes, I’m sure I’ll have several people thinking that my work isn’t real work. But work can be anywhere and anything, paid or unpaid - the definition is “activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result” 💪🏼
With my work, behind the smiles and the fun transitions, is the truth. The pain.
To get through one makeup, either for a reel or photographs - it takes blood, sweat and tears! 🩸
BUT I’d be lost without my work - my work, despite the flare ups and pain, gives me grounding, it gives me a positive outlet, a mental health support system, a way to distract myself from the harsh realities of living with chronic illnesses and helps my confidence grow! 💪🏼
Just because individuals are disabled or chronically ill, doesn’t mean what you see on the outside is what is the truth! We can all hide behind a smile, it covers all types of truths.
Please remember to be kind. You never know what really is going on in the background of someone’s life and not just what’s posted on their feed 👏🏻

GRWM Before I Start Work - CHRONIC ILLNESS EDITION 🎨
Everyday before I start work it’s always 3 steps! Change my tubie pad (usually one that I’m working the style to match!), take my meds, and finally set up my pump to get my feed in for the energy to get through makeup looks, photography, reels then editing! 📸
It’s a one man band over here doing it all myself 😂
Currently, I’m trying to hype myself to do a look today whilst watching Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets (My comfort movie/series for when I’m not feeling good! 🛌)
It’s looking like a Bed > Work kind of day 🤙🏼
Ft. My favourite @disney Tumbler from @asda 🥤 and my new Ghosties Tubie Pad from @tubietums 👻

Stand by Stand, Word by Word - Learning to Walk Again (& Aphasia)👩🏼🦽➡️🚶🏼♀️
For those that don’t know my whole story, and may wonder why I’m in a wheelchair, last October I was hit with a suspected stroke combined with two 10 minute non-self cancelling seizures - after my life changed completely.
I lost my right side, in time with physiotherapy my arm is a 4/5 but if I over do it physically, I will lose grip and struggle to hold or open things.
However, my right leg has been a difficult journey. Up until the last few weeks, we had seen no improvement, only muscle loss, but thankfully my Neurophysiotherapist, “E”, has been working with me twice a week and we are starting to see small gains, which for us is phenomenal. We’ve got a long way to go (this is sped up!), between learning to stand and managing to put weight through my leg and trying to overcome my muscle spasms and spasticity in my foot - it’s exhausting and I know the hardest is yet to come but we are taking it day to day 👏🏻
With this recovery, not only my arm and leg was affected - One of the worst, physical effects for me, is Aphasia. My speech is yet to completely come back to me, it drops out if I’m tired physically or mentally, I struggle to find my words and stutter when the word won’t come from my brain to my mouth, but hopefully one day it will also regain its full capacity too.
In some ways, I was prepared as stroke recovery is extremely close to home in our family - but it doesn’t make it any easier.
Going from being in the Army and a Degree in Sports Science and bodybuilding, to where I am not was and is, heartbreaking and soul destroying.
But - it doesn’t mean I’m not going to give it everything that I’ve got 👏🏻
Excuse my face 🤦🏼♀️ It’s pretty painful when the spasms hit! 😭
BEETLEJUICE Edition 💚💜 Wait till the END 👀
This one took me far more time than I will admit 😂
My take on BEETLEJUICE when I desperately need a new black and white palette 😂🎃
I love the colours in this one! The purple and Green really pop! And ofcourse I will start releasing the tutorials and product lists soon for you to give them a try at home 💀
Absolutely loving having your ideas to work with so don’t forget to keep sending them in and you might just see your idea pop up soon! This idea came from @morticiasmanicures 👏🏻

Spooky Season is here! Stranger Things Edition - DEMOGORGON 🎃
My first Halloween look of the year inspired by my Stranger Things Port Cover and Tubie Clip from @fireflyukgb 👏🏻
This one was so much fun to create and you could escalate it much more by doing a black out face to accentuate the red and white details more or could just be used as a simple face paint one it depends on how much time or energy you have!! 👏🏻
I’ll put a full products list up soon alongside a process video to allow you to achieve the look at home! 🎨
I’ve got lots more looks planned so keep your eyes peeled all with tutorials and how to removals 👀
