WEEKLY REMINDER 💖❤️⭐️

HAPPY ➡️ I have spent the past 2 days in Liverpool with my favourite guy♥️ It’s been bliss coming away from the craziness of my self-employed life and switching off (although... Being self-employed makes chilling out impossible sometimes 👀 We’ve laughed so much. We’ve eaten a lot and we’ve chilled out. I wouldn’t want it any other way✨ I prioritised this trip because I could feel myself burning out. Things were overwhelming and my anxiety had heightened. Now, I’m going to prioritise more down time. Just like I schedule my work, I’m going schedule some chill out time too💖 Meeting Will has been incredible. He’s really made me look at things differently and he’s already made a huge impact in my life. Thank you Will, for understanding me and supporting me 💖 If you’re feeling overwhelmed - stop. Take note and prioritise some self-care. Small tasks can build up over time and build bigger problems - it’s not worth it. Learn to rest and not give up🔆 Thank you @hiltonhotelliverpool And @chaophrayaliverpool for amazing food and hospitality - my normal work resumes tomorrow. *a full blog post of my time away will be going live soon. Thank you @hiltonhotelliverpool and @chaophrayaliverpool for your generosity❤️😌

LIVERPOOL, I AM COMING! ➡️I am really excited to be visiting another Northern city for the next few days and unwind with my favourite person• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are prepped for a night away of relaxation, shopping and ALL the food and cocktails 🍸🌈😌! Keep your eyes peeled, I will share more information soon• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *This whole trip away has been gifted by Hilton Liverpool and Chaophraya⭐️ - two brands I have worked with previously and I will continue to support them - they're ace.

EVEN IN THE DARKEST OF SITUATIONS, THERE IS LIGHT🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes, you just have to dig a little deeper and find the positives. I know it's damn hard - but trust me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember when I was trapped in a relationship I didn't want to be in and I was dating not only a guy but I wasn't accepted by his family either - it was difficult. I remember when I was lost in a job I was forcing myself to enjoy. I remember when I was riddled with anxiety and depression. I remember when I was lonely and I was forced into a corner to accept my loneliness. I remember when I was at war with my body😖 You know what. I do remember those things... But even in the darkest of moments I still realise that the challenges I have to face throughout my life are preparing me for something greater. Each challenge we experience is prepping us and teaching us something different. It may seem difficult at the time and sometimes, it can be unbearable but please, hold in there. You can take control♥️ You're one decision away from changing your whole life🦋 After many decisions and challenges later, I am still learning each day... But I am now dating someone who 'gets me'. I am in a happy place with my food and fitness and I am continuously working towards becoming a better person. The work never stops🔆 Remember, when things get tough, remind yourself of the small things you adore: food, fresh bedding, fresh air, switching off at the gym, family time, cups of tea... Sounds pathetic, but reminding yourself of the small things can help the bigger things seem more manageable. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••#blogger #socialmediatips #bloggersofinstagram #bloggerlife #positivevibes #bepositive #positivequote #beunique #beyourself #positivevibes #realsocialmedia #beyou #bereal #realnessonly #selfie #instatips #tipsandtricks #radiaterealness #radiatepositivity

The universe only guides things your way when it knows you're capable🔆. You're challenged for a reason and count each challenge as a time to develop and learn new skills🦋 Here is your reminder that you can do this✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

#mentalhealthawarenessweek ♥️ Mental Health awareness should be every damn day. Not a dedicated week in the year or month• I am very lucky to have an incredible support network around me. I have amazing friends. I have a supportive family. I have a boyfriend that will stand by me, he’s incredibly supportive and he’s my biggest cheerleader when I’m feeling low. He’s amazing. I also have the most incredible work colleagues (even though I am self-employed• I have worked endlessly for years on my mental health and it’s still a growing masterpiece. I am slowly learning my anxiety triggers and I am slowly learning that taking ‘time out’ is essential. Thank you to everyone who continues to stand by me🌸 Here is your reminder to check-in on your friend. Tell someone you love them. Take some time out to give yourself some love. Work hard. Eat well. Exercise. Eat the god damn chocolate cake. Take a breather. Listen to your body and most importantly, make the most of every moment. Yes, you, reading this... You're loved more than you'll ever know🔆 A huge shoutout goes to @zoenorbs for being an amazing friend. She's also the best G&T partner 😉

MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT ➡️ @cartfordinn - SEA SALT AND BLACK PEPPER SQUID WITH A TOMATO AND PARMESAN RELISH - ugggggh - heavenly• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Homemade, fresh, sweet, salty, sour and certainly delicious 🤤 . This dish was flavour rich and encompasses the true taste of fresh seafood at its finest quality, all of which is sourced from Fleetwood• Ok, whenever I visit The Cartford Inn, I ALWAYS order this starter. In fact, on many occasions, I have ordered a double portion of this deliciousness and eaten it with some chips and created my own ‘posh fish & chips 🍟 ‘. Crunchy on the outside and subtly soft on the inside, squid is rich in protein and makes a flavourful addition to almost any meal• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The relish packs a sweet and tart punch and it is the perfect dipping sauce for the squid, definitely the best squid I have ever tried! Don’t forget, a squeeze of lemon 🍋 is essential, it adds the perfect amount of tang and ties all of the elements of the dish together perfectly🙌🏼• If you haven't been to The Cartford Inn yet... Well, what the hell are you waiting for! @cartfordinn @tasteoftheinn ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #happy #happiness #foodie #foodblogger #food #foodblog #veggies #countrygirl #countryside #lancashire #pub #comfortfood #eatwell #healthy #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #delicious #london #relax #balance #gastropub #eatout

NEW BLOG POST: Healthy Salted Caramel Granola 😍 (link in my bio and it's on my blog!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Forget your shop-bought granolas, it’s all about the homemade ones now! Especially when the granola fills your kitchen with a caramelised peanut butter smell (it’s insane!). BE WARNED... This stuff is addictive! 😉 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••. #stresswareness #stress #oats #granola #selflove #chocolate #nutrition #glutenfree #dairyfree #london #vegan #plantbased #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #instafood #f52grams #foodphotography #fitfood #fitfoodie #fitfam #fitness #intuitiveeating #fuelyourbody #nourishnotpunish #recovery #recipe #recipecreation #healthyrecipe

DON'T BE AT WAR WITH YOURSELF ANYMORE ➡️ from a size 4 to a happy size 8-10. Your weight and body image don’t define who you are. We are all different shapes and sizes and that’s ok - it’s pretty cool too• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being the best version of yourself is the greatest goal you could have• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loving yourself first, allows you to love others deeply• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Real beauty isn’t about symmetry, weight gain/weight loss or make-up... It’s about being confident in your own skin and empowering other people to do the same• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s taken 1 whole year to get to where I am now and I couldn’t be happier. I am still learning and changing each day. I feel more feminine & confident now and I have the most amazing people around me. I removed the toxic ones and naturally, things started to fall into place• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes, I do have bad days ... But I’m human, just like every other female you see on the internet. Don’t think other females aren’t insecure, we all have things we don’t like about ourselves - it’s the way we are. Embrace it, value yourself for who you are beyond your body image and accept yourself• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Friday❤️❤️❤️❤️ want to read more about my journey?

IBIZA BEAUTY➡️ The secluded retreat Ca Na Xica @canaxicaibiza has an idyllic setting: orchards and olive groves shelter the terracotta-clay grounds and inject the poolside with colour, vibrancy and freshness. The overwhelming but angelic cacti surround the dazzling saltwater pool, the cacti bear beautiful red fruits late in the season and offer a glow of colour against the surroundings🔆❤️🧡💛.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The main areas of the luxury boutique hotel are navigable via wide paths set in the natural red gravel which is native to the island. The colour scheme of this serene hotel ties perfectly well together, making it feel more like a private resort hidden away. Let’s not forget that the open-air restaurant looks out over swaying fields of barley and makes any picture look effortless (are you persuaded to go yet😉?).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am already hoping I can visit @canaxicaibiza again 🤗. I am a lover of warmth, sunshine and blue water... Who isn't though?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been to Ibiza before? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• healthy #health #healing #healthylifestyle #happiness #happy #positivevibes #positive #positivity #girlgains #gym #relax #blogger #blog #writer #journalist #explore #dedication #goals #ambition #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #healthblogger #mentalhealth #meditation #yoga #ibiza #spain
