Leggings, bras and jeans - why are they ALL so imp Leggings, bras and jeans - why are they ALL so impossible to find? Thankfully I’ve found my perfect bras and jeans - but the legging quest is…complicated? Watch to the end as I think I’ve found my solution 🤞🏼

(For fit notes and body shape context: I’m 1.68m tall, with a long torso and short legs. My waist is also relatively small compared to my hip and butt measurements).

We’ve reached “I spend 86% of my time in swimw We’ve reached “I spend 86% of my time in swimwear” season and I am here for it. My summer to-do list is ready - a delightful collection of tidal pool swims, floating in giant doughnuts, post-swim, sandy-toed pizza and aperol and that feeling of getting into bed at the end of the day knowing you got a little too much sun - but, have absolutely no regrets. What’s NOT on the list? Feeling self-conscious in your costume, hiding on the beach, paying any action to cellulite, wobbly bits or anything else. Who’s with me?
Swipe through for scenes from a very wholesome wee Swipe through for scenes from a very wholesome weekend. I was chatting to friends recently about what a privilege to be grateful for the small things, to find joy in the “mundane” - and, to love being “home”. I think this weekend perfectly encapsulated that - sunshine and swims, lunch and ice cream, walks and gym. Nothing particularly noteworthy on paper, but absolutely perfect nonetheless.

Getting back into my fitness routine post-Covid (l Getting back into my fitness routine post-Covid (look at the 🦠 highlight on my profile if you want the full story) has been a challenge - but, honestly - more a mental one than a physical one. Once I got the all-clear from my doctor, I was dreading going back to the gym: it was my happy place, and I was terrified of going back and feeling weak and unfit. The reality? Thanks to my fitness before I got sick, the journey to “normal” has been quicker and easier than it would have otherwise been. I’ve never been more grateful for my body or health - a collection of moments to celebrate my post-Covid pneumonia healing journey 💪🏼❤️
Better sleep really does = a better me (and the ea Better sleep really does = a better me (and the earlier the better, I live for a 17h30 dinner reservation!)

Can you tell I’m SO ready for summer? To celebra Can you tell I’m SO ready for summer? To celebrate warmer, sunnier days, I’ve partnered with @benawoman to showcase a few of their new items for the season - starting with three shirt-and-short sets. My fave colour might surprise you - which would you add to your wardrobe this summer?
As soon as the sun comes out, you know I’m going As soon as the sun comes out, you know I’m going to whip out an easy-wearing dress - and @gypseyrosecottonclothes was the perfect choice.
