I’ll prequel this with if you have a lot of stuff you’ll have a lot to sell so it’s swings and roundabouts really AND I’ve spent money to get to the point of having things to sell! However since working with Mercari a fairly new to the U.K. selling app I’ve been using it to […]

You Have the Right to Remain Fat- Book Review
Just before my last trip I came across an email in my junk asking if I’d be interested in reading a new short book (manifesto) called You Have The Right To Remain Fat written by Virgie Tovar- you might not know the name but you’ll certainly recognise her – as an activist and expert on […]
Pushing Through My Introversion at Blog at the Beach
Firstly what IS Blog at the Beach? It’s a bi-annual event held by icelolly.com which gathers bloggers and influencers together to mingle, and learn – there’s usually three speakers presenting on various topics relative to blogging and content creation. Secondly yes I am an introvert, some may not know, most that have met me I’d […]
How Watching Love Island Can Help Your Career!
I’d never watched Love Island until a couple of weeks ago, and I must say upon first watching I was not impressed. Lots of arguments, preening and of course snogs and what not. (And lack of body diversity but let’s leave that for another day shall we!?) Unrelated photo content. Playsuit (£34 green version here) […]
Why You Don’t Have to Wear a Bikini to be Body Confident
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now and never quite expressed myself how I wanted to (and so never hit publish) but I’m here to try again! I appreciate that being body confident is something that any one of any size can lack (although let’s be clear there’s different levels of privilege […]

My Top Four Things To Do on Lunch in Leeds

Luckily the lovely Leeds blogger gangs took me under their wings and I now class myself as a Leeds blogger whenever I’m asked! I blooming love Leeds and […]
You Should Come to My Hood
If you think I’ve suddenly turned street on you then fear not I’ve actually always been this way! It is always interesting to see people’s reactions when I talk about what kind of music I’m into which I feel heavily influences me and some of the words I use and understand. I’m teaching the young […]
Ditching Flattering Thinking
I will always preach how you should not worry about what others think about you, or worry about being judged for clothing (or not clothing!) your body in a certain way, but I know in reality we don’t all feel that way. It takes time so whilst you go seek some inspiration and start to […]
Battling These Darker Mornings with Neom
I am not one for the Autumn. I go through a denial stage about how summer isn’t over (currently in that stage now), then a big wardrobe overhaul including lots of jumpers that I won’t wear as I am always so hot, then finally I hibernate. Not only did the August Bank Holiday Monday provide […]
