Made It Monthly - June 2021

Made It Monthly – June 2021

Once upon a time it was January 2021, and then all of a sudden it was July 2021. The End. Forgive the dramatics, but as I write today’s post it’s really hit me – we’ve done a whole 6 months of the year and your girl still has so many things to get done! #LordTakeTheWheel Well, that aside, you may (or may not) have noticed that last month I skipped on the Made it Monthly round up Why? Because…

AD – DNAfit Circle Premium Testing Kit

I don’t know what it is about hitting 30, but as soon as I did I noticed that my body required more TLC. You could say it’s a mixture of things including running around after a 2 year old and running a business, but deep down I knew for a while that I just wasn’t taking my health as seriously as I could. Well, a few weeks ago I did my very first DNA test using a brand called DNAfit to help me…

And if the soft knit fabric that feels like a pillow on your skin aren’t enough, then it’s hands down the compliments from hubby around how much…

7 Transformational Books Worth Reading Right Now!

With social distancing and working from home in full effect, I don’t know about you but I’m Social Media maxed out! From the endless Tik Tok videos (which I love by the way), never ending WhatsApp messages, to all of the news around COVID-19, I’ll definitely be taking some time out this weekend to switch off, recharge, and reboot.

11 Skincare Products That I’m Using For My Glow Up

There’s something about the combination of always being tired #mumlife, entering your thirties, and not having an intentional skincare routine, that will have your skin age before your eyes!

This is exactly what I realised a few months back, when I looked in the mirror and could barely recognise myself. My skin was dull, tired, and quite frankly lifeless. Needless to say, this was the kick up the…

The Easiest Way To Establish Your Niche

Every month I take on 5 clients for deep dive strategy calls; these are women that want to monetise and have an impact on Social Media – whether as Influencers or small business owners, but need support with brand clarity and direction.

New Mummy Body | My First Postpartum Fashion Haul & Try - On

The Truth About My New Mummy Body + My First Postpartum Fashion Haul & Try - On

Since giving birth, I’ve lost count of the number of messages that I’ve received, or people who have commented on my so-called postpartum ‘snap back’.

I’ve grown to dislike this term, because for so many women, the body that they are left with after birth, is one that takes a tremendous amount of effort to embrace and fall in love with. Therefore, the term ‘snap back’ can too often feel…
