Ad. Childhood passes by in a blink. One minute they’re a squidgy little bundle and the next, they’re borrowing your shoes to nip to the shops on their own. It’s hard to see them need you less, but that’s our job right? To nurture them and send them off into the world full of confidence and independence. Well, since the twins have been little, we have relied on to help facilitate just that. It’s been integral to them developing their skills with money and confidence. And totally worth saying that I’ve been a fully paid up customer of GoHenry for years and years which is why this means so much to me, GoHenry has been a huge part of all of my kid’s childhoods. But GoHenry is so much more than just an app and debit card. Did you know you can set up a GoHenry Junior Stocks & Shares ISA in the app? You can start investing for your child straight away and it’s super simple to set up. Manageable, simple contributions that could make a big difference to your child’s future. AND educating them about saving & investing is a great way to prepare them for the future.

So, pop on over to the GoHenry website where you can experiment with the ‘Don’t Blink!’ Challenge. A great way to have fun and visualise your child’s potential. Dots was amazed at how she might look at 18 and the money she could also have!

Investments can go up as well as down so only invest what you can afford.

Festival ready in your late 40s
Went with my pocket pals as most of you voted outfit 2.
You were right, the portaloo situation would have been horrific in outfit 3.
Thanks team 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 Horribly hungover but need to pull myself together to celebrate Woodsy’s 49th birthday today. How are we nearly 50?????

I’ve been having a bit of a stress about posting on the grid. I haven’t done it in a while and have been savagely overthinking it. Then someone messaged me last night and just said ‘take a snap and post it’ they said you see it every day and we don’t. And they are right, I looked back on my grid and there’s barely any of the renovation. So when I woke up this morning (after a horrible nights sleep) I popped downstairs and snapped away. It’s not perfect, it’s not ‘finished’ we have that age old curtain issue again. There’s another window the same size on the other side so we are looking at thousands for curtains. And I would LOVE to get new flooring in at some point but genuinely, we have no heating or toilets on the first floor so that takes priority first! BUT, I love it, we’ve come a long way from 4 years ago. Yes, I thought we’d be done and dusted by now but I wildly underestimated the costs and time. We have forever though so there’s that.
Also LOVING my new rug. The bigger the better with rugs and at you can get any rug in any size which is ace. I did do an ad with them last month but this is not part of it. But the discount code is still working for 10% off though use KATIE10 (aff)
Right, need to choose my festival outfit….

Ad COLLAGEN …

I’ve been on a long journey with my skin — from loathing it to genuinely loving it. I’m not one for turning back time, but I do want to give my skin everything it needs, especially now I’m diving headfirst into menopause 🙌

As a scientist and dentist I wanted to stagger everything I tried so I could give honest feedback on what actually works. Collagen was last on the list — and now I wish I’d done it sooner 😅

A month in on Elavate and my skin looks plumper, more alive — “juicier” is the technical term 😂 Fine lines softening and my hair already feels stronger and more like itself, which after the year I’ve had feels really good 🥹

Ad/pr event. Summer called, John Lewis answered…
THE most perfect 48 hours away with the gorgeous team at for their Summer showcase at Lads, you’re in for a treat because Summer at JL is looking sweeeeeeeeet. There’s colour, there’s polka dots and there’s a whole lot of fun. Star of the show for me was the Marcy outdoor chairs, the colours are beautiful. But we got to eat from the which was absolutely unreal. Got to play padel for the first time and I’m obsessed and then a wild water swim and sauna followed by a gorgeous facial. Got to hang out with some gorgeous souls, looking at you and Still@pinch myself every day that I get to do this for my job.
If Carlsberg did press trips…
Bravo team, you smashed it out of the actual park xx

Ad. Come with me to the launch of Victoria Leeds Fashion Week. After the success of last year, it’s back and it’s bigger and better than before. We celebrated at .leeds with cocktails designed to match our style and the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. Seriously, you must go and try the new menu here. This year there are four main style pilars.
The artful expressionist
The refined bohemian
The modern minimalist
The heritage sophisticate
No prizes for guessing which one I am, but what do you think you are?
Victoria Leeds have installed 6 incredible style pods which showcase the best of the best. Totally worth visiting for a mooch. And if you head to Victoria Leeds website, they have launched a page showcasing a curation of incredible offers. These are exclusive to fashion week and perfect for those attending the show to claim a discount on any outfits they see on the runway! Trust me, they’re worth checking out.
The full fashion show is next week and I’ve got FROW tickets, now what on Earth should I wear to that?!
Hopefully, I’ll see you there friends.

I like to think this is how the Kardashians get into their too right?
I posted this on stories a few days ago and it made a lot of you lol so putting it here permanently (well, until my teens see it and force me to remove it).
So, tell me, is it worth squeezing into these for the sake of a dress.
And if you’re watching with the sound off, can I recommend turning it on, who knew I even made those noises?!

Ad. The sleep makeover of dreams
From grubby carpet, bare walls and abandoned bath to sunshine warmth and cosy textiles with the help of (and weeks of sanding, painting, filling and wallpapering 😂)
I can’t believe we’ve been sharing a bedroom with Dottie since we moved back in. That’s 7 months of room sharing with a 10 year old, I can tell you now, it does nothing for your sleep and sleep is SO important to me. Because when you get a good night’s sleep, you can rule the world right?
There was only one direction I was going to turn when it comes to creating the perfect bed set up because no one does bedding like La Redoute. Amazing ranges of stripes and checks, all designed to work beautifully together. And for me, it HAS to be linen because, as a woman of a certain age, temperature regulation is a real issue for me. Linen does everything it needs to do and keeps me warm in the cold and cool in the heat. Because trust me, I don’t need another reason to wake up at night.
I’ve gone with some other beautiful pieces. A chest of drawers with the most beautiful bobbin detail, a gorgeous wool rug and a mirror with curves in ALL the right places. I will share the links on stories.
As with any renovation, there’s still a way to go. Next stop curtains and carpets, and that’s the joy of a renovation right? Things take time but we’ve got used to that
