Happy Saturday my loves! I hope you’ve been taking the *best* possible care since I last saw you 🥰 Last month I took a little newsletter break, thought about how I’d like this space to feel going forwards, and now I’m BACK with a slightly different vibe (in the same colour palette, obvs 🍭).
your mail made me soooo happy to read! 🥰 totally brightened my saturday!
i finished my year at uni back in early June and then went on my first girls holiday to Spain AND when I was there wore a bikini for the first time (!), then went to watch the F1 practice at Silverstone. I had my 18th during Lockdown and my Mum had her 50th and we had a party planned for TWO YEARS and it finally happened! SO good to have all our friends and family celebrating and in the same room. And to round it all off we also had a holiday to the USA booked for two years and that finally happened! It was incredible. We road tripped round and did New York, San Fran, Lake Tahoe, Monterey, Santa Barbara and LA. Trip of a lifetime! 💛 I’m now catching up on work for Uni, dancing the night away in Liverpool with my bffs and sitting in coffee shops until I move in with my friends to our new house down South at the end of the month! 🥰 xx
I loved your holiday updates, was so great to see you enjoy yourself, and the happiness you've found with your beautiful new person was radiating from every pore! I've had a tough year but I recently finished my first year of university after going back to get a second degree - juggling it all with being a single parent to two littles was tough. I never celebrate or shout about my own successes as I grew up in a household where bigging yourself up was seen as "bragging" and "big headed" - but with the encouragement of a wonderful new man that I've been seeing since April, this time I DID shout about it, and celebrate it, because it was hard work, and I did it all by myself. Shock horror, nothing bad happened when I let myself feel proud about what I'd done! I'm now enjoying a well earned rest over the summer with my children and boyfriend, who makes me very happy and supports everything I do 🥰
Thanks for the update Megan! And thanks for introducing us to Char, she sounds wonderful and you deserve someone like her ❤️I love that you are continuing these emails, it feels like we're a big group of pen pals :)
I've spent my summer living with my grandma in Canada, who I haven't been able to see in three years. I caught up with other family and friends while I was there too and it was great on the whole. Now I have two ish weeks before uni starts again and I do NOT feel prepared at all... I wish I had more time to prepare for my studies but I also don't regret taking the time out to just be with family. Even though I spent much of it being the family therapist and am now quite emotionally exhausted! I love them but they can be hard work haha!
I’ve been healing my nervous system from C-PTSD, had an injection in my neck for it. Been working a bit too hard on my recovery 🤓😱 But *I feel different*!!! I’m more chatty and feel good inside again, and love myself!!! It’s a new feeling. Been dating Dan…..I’m really excited again about living life again😎🎉
I love everything you share! You're my reminder to be kinder to myself. I get to go on vacation in just 2 weeks! Me and my partner are getting married in 2 WEEKS 🤯 and we are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon! We are so excited!
Hi! I have to say seeing the joy emulating from you in your holiday pics is soooo good. It's great to see 😍.
I am excited as I have booked a stand up paddle boarding lesson as I've always loved the look of it and thought 'fuck it' let's do it. Definitely a bit apprehensive, being plus size and trying to find wetsuits that fit, my body is not the standard body you see on a paddle board but I'm proud that I'm going to do it despite the nerves. It's got me thinking about the privilege of being able to access sport and how it's easier for some than others.
Loving the sound of the new newsletter! Enjoy the rest of your week. X
Beautiful update and great to see you enjoying yourself! The format and tone are spot on and I loved the photos.
Over here I’m spending all my free time in the garden - specialty sunflowers are blooming (teddy bear and red velvet) so I have bouquets to share with coworkers and I also take tons of photos of everything for myself. My friend’s coffeehouse reopened and I’m baking there when I can, including a triple decker chocolate cake with cookies and cream frosting. Just… putting out beauty and positive energy into the world and soaking up the summer sun (slathered in SPF50 because my ancestors were definitely NOT Jamaican! Ha!)
I looove the new format so much! It's so great to hear from you, and so wonderful to see you happy!! Thank you for sharing and I'm excited for alll the upcoming mails! <3
Love the new format, love the new nails (tempted to give acrylics a try myself) and all the heart eyes for the new relationship. The pictures you posted of the two of you on hols were so filled with love, was gorgeous to see. Have a fab week!

Seeing and reading about your joy gives me joy! And hope that I'll be in a better place soon (struggling with the depression/anxiety right now)
