MENTALLY: I AM HERE.

Hey team. Happy Sunday. Am I hearing summer? SuMmEr? SUMMER? Because if the weather stays like this, you best believe I will be soaking up every little piece of sun with an Aperol Spritz in my hand! I can’t wait to re-design my entire wardrobe, change my personality, dye my hair, get a tan and become a whole different person xox

In light of Mental Health Awareness Week beginning on Monday, I wanted to have a lil chat with you all. It is so easy to become overwhelmed with everything that life throws at us daily that we often lose sight of what really matters…looking after ourselves. I know it sounds like the simplest thing but navigating the journey of putting yourself first can take a little time. Throughout that journey there are going to be so many bumps in the road too but that’s just part of life and we move past them.

For me, socialising with my best friends is my favourite way to charge my mental battery. Surrounding yourself with positivity will bring positivity into your life. You know the phrase “hey, how are you?” “I’m good thanks, you?” “Yeah, good, thanks.” END OF CONVERSATION. Why don’t we try delving a bit deeper into that conversation, of course, if you both want to. How are you really? What have you been up to that week? What are you loving at the moment? Do you have anything exciting planned? Any funny stories that happened that week that you’ve been dying to tell someone? Engaging further into a conversation can make such a difference and really make someone’s day. Especially when I’m at work, it’s all about reading the room but most customers are so sweet and love to chat away. They tell me about their holiday they’ve have booked and how excited they are. I tell them about Taylor Swift and Edinburgh and they tell me how amazing it is there. They leave with a big smile on their face and it makes both our days. The conversation does not have to be long and it doesn’t have to be personal. You engage as much as you want but I promise you, it can make the world of difference!

Okay: here’s some thing I have been loving this week!

-          Loreal GLOWTION. When I tell you. I am OBSESSED WITH THIS PRODUCT. As a base layer under my makeup, it makes me look so glowy and fresh. Run don’t walk to Boots.

-          Come From Away. I saw it for the first time this week and WOW. What an incredible, heart-warming show. The music. The set. If you get the chance to see it. GO GO GO.

-          Isobel and I have booked Amsterdam! Ahhh. We started planning a little itinerary last night and wow I am so excited. Such a bucket list trip for me. I can’t wait to make the most of it!

Next week is going to be a great one. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are the SHIT. Okay? Let’s go kill it babes.

Big love ALWAYS,
