✨ 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌 ✨ it's been about 5 months since i posted about my acne so i thought i was long overdue a check in with how my skin's currently doing. prior to november i was working an office job and didn't have to wear a face mask for the majority of my day. now i can be wearing them for up to 15 hours a day. everybody knows masks can cause a whole variety of skin problems, acne being very high on that list. i'm currently on day 9 of 10 days annual leave so my skin is not currently as irritated as it has been. but looking back at the photos i took in august my skin has come a long way since then. slowly but surely. i was recommended @dermatica.skin by @carolinehirons last year since i wasn't getting anywhere with seeing a dermatologist because of covid. i've been using it since june and can really see the difference it is starting to make. they tailor the formula to you and your skin care needs. i'm currently on a mix of adapalene, benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. it took me a long time to notice the results and even now it's always jarring when i haven't seen a friend in a while and the first thing they comment on is how much better my skin looks. it's been something that has killed my confidence for years so for myself and others to see an improvement in it - that honestly is something i'd only ever dreamt of. long may it continue. 🤞🏼

❤️ 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 ❤️ lewis got me the cutest charm for my birthday, along with a new bracelet since i was running out of room on both my others. 😂 as much as he hates how much i jingle and jangle constantly, or how i accidentally stab him with dangly ones - he knows i will never say no to something for my bracelets with a sentimental meaning behind it. 🥰 anyone else still struggling with what day of the week it is? or is that just me? this week has been looong hasn't it? 🥴

🖤 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒊 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒎 🖤 my 16 year old self is super happy right now. being short, all i wanted was a pair of chunky 'goth' boots i just couldn't commit to buying and wearing them - for fear of what others would think mainly. at my grand old age now, i feel like i don't really care what anyone else thinks. but the @monamifrost x @koifootwear collab came through and gave me everything i'd been wanting for all these years. just a lil bit of height for stomping the streets on the daily. 😂🖤 covid has really thrown a spanner in the works for adding more tattoos to my legs. 😭 can you bugger off already i want my baby yoda soon please and thanks.

🎂 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒍' 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒂𝒌𝒆 🎂 i wish I could move my birthday to later in the year. whilst everyone is getting back on their new year fitness hype i'm just eating the birthday cake. 😂 not going to lie, having the gym closed is throwing me all kinds of off. i never thought i'd be that person that misses the gym. but i kinda do. come back soon @unit24_fitnesscentre_aldershot 😭💔 i've just been spending my time at home (obviously), clearing shizz out. not going to lie - i can't wait to get back to work on monday. get me out of this house. 😂

🥪 𝒄𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒂𝒍𝒔 🥪 anyone craving a bit of normality again? the little bit we got before christmas seems like a lifetime ago. i kinda miss going out to eat with friends and have long overdue catch ups. honestly tier 4 sucks but it gives me a chance to work all the crazy hours at work and not feel bad for it, for not seeing anyone or doing anything. besides working and sleeping. 😂 sorry not sorry. wish i was back in reading, eating the christmas sammich from @7boneburgerco - yippie-ki-yay motherclucker. turkey, pig in blanket patty, smashed roasties, stuffing'n'gravy mayo and smoked cranberry sauce - stacked in between two slices of texas toast with a load of gravy. there are no words for how good this was. 🤤

🎇 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 𝒋𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚 🎇 i think we can all agree 2020 was a total washout - i want a refund. we all lost a lot and had to change our routines to adapt to new ways of living. but i think we can all agree it made us more grateful for what we do have and the time we spent with the people closest to us. here's to hoping we get a little bit of normality back at some point this year and that it's better than the last one. 🤞🏼 do you have any plans for the first week of the new year? i'm currently on annual leave. and after a crazy busy christmas - i am enjoying just relaxing. 😌

🍂 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒛𝒐𝒏𝒆 🍂 anyone that knows me will know that i tend to stick to what i know. i eat the same food, travel to the same familiar places and i don't really stray away from that. living in your comfort zone is about what is safe and easy. i know what to expect so it can keep my anxiety minimal. the unknown can be a scary place but it's one where you can find so many different possibilities, things you never thought possible. don't stay in your comfort zone wishing for something different. make a change. ✨ at the start of the last lockdown, i quit a job that mentally drained me, was unfulfilling and did not surrounded me with people that were good for me. i have completely changed sectors and am on a totally different career path whilst working with some of the best people. being a support worker can be challenging at times but i wouldn't change it for the world. 💚
