When I find a new makeup style you best believe that I’m going to use it for the next 3-5 years ✌️ Special shout-out to @tillyferrari for giving me the confidence to mix up the makeup routine and to @lily_halsey for introducing me to the best $5 I’ve ever spent - the satin dressing gown.

All Aboard the Corona-Coaster (Again!)

Yes we have a potentially deadly disease to avoid, so I’m not disputing the decision of the lockdown but the impact that being locked inside is having on our mental and financial health is detrimental. Weekends in lockdown are where I struggle the most, it’s like there’s a bottomless pit of time that needs to be filled, the routine that I’ve tried so hard to build for weekdays rightfully goes out of the window, but If I get too anxious I start to think of the future, where I’m headed, what my income will look like and so many more things that are totally out of my control, it becomes a vicious spiral. I try desperately hard to not let myself dip, but the weekends are when I end up feeling at my loneliest, despite the fact that it’s the only time I’m not on my own.

My Debt Story

At the time I was dabbling with Instagram and was totally convinced that I needed a new wardrobe to keep up, which was actually the case in 2016 – 2018/9, there wasn’t much talk around sustainability like there is now and fast fashion was… fashionable. While the numbers being added to my Klarna account were only ever in the low hundreds, the 30 day pay cut off meant that I had to prioritise paying these off, rather than tackling my credit card debt. I wanted to show people like myself that you don’t need to buy something brand new to create a new outfit. My aim is to pay off the debt by the time I’m 30 in bitesize chunks, rather than wodge’s.

Feel weird about lockdown lifting? It’s ok, I do too!

It’s easy to see people on social media necking their 8th glass of prosecco in two hours and think WHY ISN’T THAT ME?! If you feel/felt like I did, then I want you know that you’re not alone. Do people want to spend time with me? It’s easy to feel like reading a book is a waste of time.

Why I’m No Longer Posting at the Weekend…

These past 12 weeks have also made me realise that my life has been like this for the past year since really throwing myself into ‘insta life’ (BLEURGH!). Once you mess with your own algorithm (not posting) you get thrown out of the limelight faster than Judy Garland getting booed off of the stage for turning up drunk. This algorithm has had an enormous effect on our day to day lives and we’ve ended up treating every aspect of our life as if we’re being monitored by data. I have to book a luxurious holiday (or people will think I’m poor)
