Perks of working from home: no pants and naps during lunch breaks

These quiet days have been a time of reflection and stillness, and tbh I’ve really been enjoying it. So many people are stressing and spiraling without the distraction of socializing and routine, and while I take the situation very seriously, I’m happy that I’ve been given an excuse to pause, assess my own thoughts and decide what I want to carry forward once all the dust settles. What are you spending your time doing in this limbo state? I hope whatever it is, is bringing you both calm for you soul and compassion for others.

This is my face most days. Despite what my feed says, it’s not all lilac eyeshadow and silk gowns. I had a tricky time getting back into regular content this year because I started to worry the narrative I was telling was repetitive and really only 1% of what I’m all about. Particularly after posting about my flat, I got a real sense from the feedback that people really didn’t know who the fuck I am or what I’m all about😅😂 This year I’m aiming to tell more of the story behind feed: so today I will tell you something about me maybe you didn’t know before. I work in the construction/property space(incase my bio wasn’t obvious enough, and my feed was hella misleading) for a company that manufactures and distributes material for the built environment, amongst other things. It’s an interesting industry and I’m chuffed at being able to see so many sides of it. The girls who work in this space have to have thicker skin than most and the patience of a saint, but if there’s one thing I want to see in my lifetime (and if I have anything to do with it) it’s to welcome waaaaay more ladies into it🌸💋💕 I like to think I’ll be a part of making that change, but I’m only 5 or so years in, so I guess it will be time that tells whether one girly girl in hard had can mess with the tradition of it all 🎀🔨 Something tells me that if I can cut a crease I can cut through some red tape😂 Anyway, any questions or comments, fire away below - I’m keen to chat☺️💛 Happy Monday!

Had a good old play around tonight for the first time in ages. Wow it was odd messing around with makeup again! I contemplated doing a Valentine’s Day look but it’s not as if there isn’t ten trillion of those out there already, and I actually just wanted some down time with my new almond milk coffee obsession and some old favs💋 This year has really started off at a leisurely pace. I’ve put ZERO pressure on myself wrt making myself available to everyone, I needed some time to get some equilibrium and figure out what exactly I want to be doing next (on SO many levels), and also what contribution to society I want to make. The staggering amount of literature/podcasts/YT videos/Gaia series I’ve consumed in the last 3 months to help me figure that out a little has been at the forefront of my focus and it’s only now, on the eve of the day of Love, that there’s a crystal clear clarity✨👁‍🗨If you’ve missed seeing my face around (both here and IRL) I’m slowly emerging from my cocoon in a new form, and I look forward to reconnecting 🌈 💫 (Side note: this book is way up there on my recommended reading list!!)
