I stand in solidarity with my black/POC/non-white friends & I will not be posting any of my own original content for seven days to help amplify melanated voices. . I will share on my stories the content of those whose voices need to be heard more right now than ever before. . Lots of love 🤝🤝🏻🤝🏼🤝🏽🤝🏾🤝🏿 #amplifymelanatedvoices

Pinch. Punch. First of the month. Although I had a sizable mental health wobble, May was a pretty cute little month of wagging tails & happy mails, family time & sunshine, comfort foods & birdwatching moods. I'm keen to see what June offers with the world slowly coming out of hibernation. Have a good one! @1secondeveryday

Isn't it lovely what we deem "special occasions" at the moment? Last night was a special occasion as it was @rollinwithlindsay_'s Big Fat Burlesque show that I attended with my burlesque virgin bestie, @sunniedayz87. Meaning I watched a live burlesque show from the comfort of my Manchester settee while she watched from her Hull sofa, sharing long distance drinks & texting each other our commentary of the show & putting the world to rights. Although nobody could see me, I still popped in my contact lenses, dusted off my limited make up products & styled the worst victory roll I've ever attempted because it was a girls night in. AND I LOVED IT!. . Everything is on its arse right now but entertainers & friendship are keeping us alive - thank you.

It’s just sod’s law that when I need to be responsible by spending my leftover disposable income on everyday necessaries (like more cutlery so we don’t have to immediately wash the spoon for reuse!), I find a million cute, quirky things I’d love for my home/office/self from Truffle Shuffle! And when I should be spending my spare time on “needs” such as hoovering the kennels worth of dog hair from our carpets & washing the shower screen door, I spend it on “wants” like cobbling together this mood board of said cute, quirky @truffleshufflecom goodies. Window shopping is just too perfect a form of procrastination right now. Send help!

No you're too old to be blowing dandelion fluff to "make wishes"!. . If you could wish upon a dandelion though, what would you wish for...?. . Besides the obvious world peace, cure for all terminal illness & a Big Brother reboot (because I know I'm not the only one missing it), I'd wish for things to be safe enough for us to go on the villa holiday in Cyprus I won with @clickstay. . And if that wish was refunded due to lockdown, I'd wish to have a windfall big enough to fund injecting some personality into the magnolia expanse of bungalow known as our - otherwise perfect - home.

I'm not much of a drinker or reader but spending the afternoon in the garden sun with my book & a cider feels like the ultimate bank holiday treat. Is "because I'd rather be in the garden like yesterday" an acceptable reason to phone in sick to work tomorrow to do this all again? And is 32 too old to still genuinely get that "what reason can I give to not go to work tomorrow?" feeling at least twice a week? Asking for a friend, obviously - I'm far too much of a responsible adult to ever think such things. Ahem.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets so overwhelmed by the size of their To Do list that, instead of getting on with stuff, they waste two hours writing an itemized agenda & making it look all pretty! I still have the same amount of things that I need & want to do today... Only now I'm feeling even *more* overwhelmed with even *less* time to do them in. Working out my list of wifing, washing, watching & writing in order of priority is not the wifestyle for me. What do you do when you feel you have to change one thing from every element of your life in a 24hr time slot?

Right, own up, which one of you lovely lot sent me this surprise happy mail from @dazzledindaylight? . Whoever it was knows me well enough to know all about my eternal love of The Little Mermaid & has made me grin like the Cheshire Cat (unintentional but fitting Disney reference!) with this gorgeous necklace. . I’m lucky to have such an amazing circle of the best friends around me & I’m so grateful for this surprise. . If it was from you or if you know who it was from, raise your hand so as I can give them a big fat thank you from the deepest darkest depths of my heart.

Today mark's the third anniversary since the horrific Manchester Arena attack. There are no words that I or anyone can say, but please take moment to look at these photos & remember the 22. These images are from this day last year when I teamed up with @takeheartxo to distribute 88 hearts across Manchester, with handwritten @arianagrande lyrics of love, hope & respect. Don't Look Back in Anger & Never Forget. x
