OVERJOYED to read your first post of 2025 <3 Loved how you laid this out with songs. I had the exact same experience at the beach on New Year's Day when we went for a walk to escape the Scottish madness - the normality and peacefulness of seeing people having a nice time at a slower pace was lovely.

Your hair looks BEAUTIFUL !!! I have naturally curly/wavy hair (it's blow-dried in my pfp) and ruined it earlier this year by bleaching it 🥲 SO I'm working on improving its health atm but some of my top recs are a good clarifying shampoo - I use Sukin deep cleanse shampoo - then a curl shampoo and conditioner and a 'scrunch' cream or jelly. For the last three I use Umberto Giannini, Curl Repair shampoo and conditioner and then Curl Jelly for the scrunching! Just go gentle with the jelly as it can go a bit sticky then crispy if you use too much 🤣 These are also India-approved and she has the most beauts curls in the world!! And make sure to use a wide tooth comb in the shower with your conditioner in!

Also obsessed with The Traitors. I want Minah to win atm but I really like Fozia too after calling out the absolute nastiness towards poor Kas (justice for him btw). Vvvvv excited to watch tonight!

(Also, pls send the pasta recipe I need it stat)

Anyway sorry this comment was far too long xo

Thank you Soph!!!! 🩷🩷🩷 I only ever want to start my new years with a walk from now on, normally we're driving all day but this year we got to start slowly and I feel much better for it! Maybe it's a subconscious thing??

THANK YOU! It can be such a pain to know how to manage it! I've been seeing the Umberton Giannini stuff everywhere at the moment so I'm deffo picking that up when I go to Boots! I tried finger curling the other day and it was such a flop, how do people do that?? I'm just going to stick with scrunching. I feel like making friends with curly/wavy hair is such a challenge!!

Ok, we need to chat about Traitors again. Not saying anything in case you didn't see last night. Sending you recipe asap. Big love!!!

ELLA!! I’m SO happy to see a post from you after a long ol’ day at work. Welcome back from your break! It sounds like a wonderful few weeks, especially visiting Word on the Water but definitely not nearly getting scammed.

I’m currently obsessed with The Traitors as well. Theorising that there’s a set of brothers amidst the pack, and that Linda will mindbogglingly make it to the end.

Thanks Michelle!!! 🩷🩷 Hahahah yes, word on the water a solid 10/10, but scams are a big no

I'm so happy you're watching the Traitors!! Nobody else I know irl watches it which is crazy to me because I'm sure it's meant to be one of the biggest shows on TV. I can't believe Linda has made it this far, honestly she's unlocked a new tactic - be so obvious that you can't possibly be a traitor!

Only my sister and one guy from work are watching it this year, outrageous! I'm obsessed with how owl-like she is too. She's so sweet!
