Happy International Womenโ€™s Dayโ€ฆ Iโ€™m lucky enough to have grown up with independent & strong women all around me. Itโ€™s where I get my resilience & determination from.

Itโ€™s something that I want to ensure Isla has too: to be resilient is to have patience and strength. To keep a smile, even if deep down itโ€™s painful. Determination is to have focus and passion. To keep going even if the end is not quite in sight.

I can see a lot of this in her alreadyโ€ฆ she is far more confident than I ever was at 10 and she knows her own mind. Which I love.

Now I need to make sure she has self confidence, self awareness and self love. So she can endure all that life throws at her and she can listen to her body & mind to guide her. 

I love that Iโ€™m still learning things about myself on this motherhood journey: some of those things Iโ€™m learning from Isla.

Iโ€™m very proud of my baby girl ๐Ÿฅฐ

Get cleaning the air fryer with meโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงผ A slightly different post from me tonight: a handy little tip for cleaning your air fryer.โฃ
โฃ
Thereโ€™s something about a cleaning tip that makes cleaning that bit ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. We use the air fryer everyday, we love it. Keeping it clean is important.โฃ
โฃ

โ–ช๏ธ add water to ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ the plates inside the trayโฃ
โ–ช๏ธ air fry for ๐Ÿฏ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™ve only been cooking vegetables and things like that then this is ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต to clean the trays. Simply rinse and dry. โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™ve cooked meats or food that sticks to the trays, like cheese, then give it a good wash afterwards. The air frying will have helped to release those foods!โฃ

Isla is so close to her level 6 certificate. Sheโ€™s been coming on in leaps and bounds over the last few weeksโ€ฆ her confidence is definitely improving with her @gymfinitykids classes.

Today was awards week for Islaโ€™s class, and I love they they dish out โ€œpart wayโ€ certificates to those who havenโ€™t quite levelled up yet. Everyone gets a certificate. Itโ€™s so lovely.

With my discount code they waive the joining fee, which is ยฃ30, so donโ€™t forget to use it when signing up your child to @gymfinitykidsโ€ฆ

Easy nightly cleansing routine that everyone can do

Easy nightly cleansing routine that everyone can do

The pandemic has influenced our facial complexions. Staying the whole time indoors, allowed only one hour of exercise a day, definitely took its toll. And, the stress of being a working woman and a mother paid its price on my mental wellbeing, which, of course, comes out on your complexion. Be it dark circles, frown lines, or facial dryness, staying inside can influence your face in so many ways. After a heavy fortnight of camping I really needed to get back into my cleansing routine. Not the mention the mask-wearing when we came out of lockdown but were still amid a pandemic. Wearing masks in shopping centers and on trains or buses for hours at a time causes the same air to circle your face, meaning itโ€™s a breeding ground for bacteria. So, even when you take it off after traveling or work, the damage may already be done. VIEW ...
