Read More How to be sustainably on trendOne thing this lockdown has forced me to do, other than the obvious homeschooling, Joe Wicks classes (for the first week at least) and excessive eating and drinking, is re-evaluate my wardrobe basics. The fact that I’ve gained weight and had a free boob job (weight gain bonuses), means I didn’t have much choice. It […]
Read More Back to BasicsThe realisation that we’ve basically done the equivalent of the six weeks school holidays without any interaction with friends or family, plus adventures in the outside world, has made this weeks wobble feel worthy! No wonder cracks are starting to show. We’ve made it this far guys. And yet I feel the worst is still […]
