Pretty please with the pots I made at the @justine Pretty please with the pots I made at the @justinejennerpottery workshop I did a few weeks ago. Not bad eh?

If you remember, the husband bought me a date per month as a Christmas present and this was date number 3 (he's a bit behind bless him but we're getting there 😊)

Who'd be up for a date round up #blogpost at the end of the year detailing the 12 different dates?
Like many women, I suffer from outbreaks of hormon Like many women, I suffer from outbreaks of hormonal #acne at certain points during my cycle. The spots tend to emerge in the few days leading up to the start of my period, and mainly occur around my chin and jawline. However, now that I’m in the #perimenopause stage of my life, I’ve noticed changes to the type of hormonal acne I get. The spots are now more cyst-like; larger, deeper under the skin, and much more painful; and they have now spread to my neck, hairline and cheeks too. Plus, my pores are noticeably larger, and larger pores means more space for dirt to collect and for bacteria to breed, which of course means more spots. It has become an endless vicious cycle.

The changes and imbalances in hormone levels that happen during the lead up to #menopause impacts the skin in a variety of ways. Collagen levels decrease resulting in wrinkles, sagging, and a dull complexion, and our skin can also become drier, more sensitive, and more acne prone. 

My latest #blogpost features the @foreo_official ESPADA blue light acne treatment device and their new blemish gel. I also share 4 other tips to help clear up skin during this tricky stage of life.

The link's in my bio so head on over and give it a read 🤓

Had an absolute blast on our date for June learnin Had an absolute blast on our date for June learning some #pottery skills with @justinejennerpottery 

I've wanted to have a go on a wheel for ages. I remember having them at school but we were never allowed to use them, so it became this big thing for me that at some point I needed to have a go.

And I LOVED it. Just something so mindfully relaxing and mesmerising about watching a lump of clay spin on a wheel and transform from something shapeless into something resembling a bowl 🤣

To give myself some credit, I was pretty impressed with what I produced, and I can't wait to see how they come out in a few weeks time once they've been baked and glazed 🎉

We're a bit behind with the whole #12monthsofdates thing but the hubby's told me there are plans afoot to catch up, so we shall see.
When your mum plans your work experience day from When your mum plans your work experience day from home 🤩🤪

So yeah, tomorrow is take your kid to work day for my son. It's got my back up a bit, not gonna lie, cos for us work from home bods it ain't exactly easy, plus I know for a fact my son doesn't want to do the work we do. Anyway, that's by the by I'm not gonna turn this into a rant about the education system (again!)

He thinks he's basically got a day off. A lovely lie in, stay in slobs all day, do the 20 minute virtual thing the school's set up, then sit around on his xbox or watch Netflix, occasionally surfacing for pizza wraps or noodles.

I on the other hand have got this lovely little lot of jobs all ready for him:

1) Dog run/workout
2) Practice packing DofE bag
3) School thing
4) Wash car
5) Clean and tidy room
6) List items to sell

Hours - same as schol day

Pay - minimal, aka none, aka 'experience

Job roles covered - admin, cleaner, personal trainer, packer, seller, manual labour.

Complaints to be made in written form to either mum or dad.

Alternatively, you could go into school and do the virtual thing there.

"A day of different tasks for you to enjoy"

Let's see how that goes down 🤣🤪

Pretty nice picture right? A mum and her daughter Pretty nice picture right? A mum and her daughter taking a selfie while taking a walk to go and watch the sunset #parentinggoals 

Reality check.

This was a snapshot. A very brief moment captured in time. For the rest of the 45 minutes it took to walk up and down the hill it was moan central. 

My legs ache. I'm itchy. My feet hurt. You're walking too fast. Wait for me. Mum stop it. I need the toilet..... and that was just me 😜🤣

No, but seriously, a reminder. A reminder that what we see on here, for the most part ain't real. It's little snapshots of a moment, but not the bigger picture. So don't let yourself get sucked into the #fomo and the comparison and the negative emotions that can sometimes spring up from seeing happy, happy, happy all the time.

If you check out the second picture, you'll see the views were just as good, but the mood perhaps less so 🙈 I opted to stay smiley and go with the let's just wind her up a bit more thing cos well, us mums need some small pleasures in life don't we! 

If what you're seeing on social media sparks any kind of negativity in you then there's only one thing for it - unfollow. You are in control of what you see. So don't allow the pictures that other people post to influence your mood for the day #youdoyou
