I was all poised to write a serious soul-searching post about imposter syndrome and comparing myself to all the other women I see on social media and in life. And I will write that soon because it's something I am guilty of and also it is rather taking over at the moment and it shouldn't be. But then I went to a launch event and felt so emotional and overwhelmed in a GOOD way, I thought hey, imposter syndrome can wait a week! The launch was for the new ad campaign for Sport E

Well happy Monday, as you can see I've got bright red hair. And I love it. AND it's inspired this week's post. Happy days. The thing with this new ‘do is, I did it myself.

Mainly because I am suffering with something of a blockage. My payday is the 15th, so it's nearly the 'end of the month' for me. And this month after a tax bill, car service/MOT, a large gas bill and yeah, yeah, ok I admit it, a skiing holiday, I am what is commonly known as skint. My card nearly bent in half on

It was always the plan to write about body image, size and so on in this blog at some point and I’m sure this won’t be the last time it is a topic. But I didn't plan on writing about it so soon. However, this week something happened that made me feel it was worthy of post number 3.
