Only Love x

I have an obsession with cherry blossom trees and when I am promoted, I’d love to be cremated and planted with into one 🌳
My gorgeous friend Anne Kennington got her promotion on Saturday after a battle with cancer and even though I’m heartbroken she’s not here to say the words ‘only love’ with her gorgeous smile that felt like a hug, I know every time I see a gorgeous sunset or tree that I’ll think of her.
‘Love with an open heart and a heart that accepts everything that comes to it with mystery’ is a line from Michael Harding’s piece on called ‘Leaves’ that Anne sent to me a few weeks ago.
When I listen to this masterclass on mortality, I can hear her ease with the flow of life and how it mimics nature, accepting what comes. ‘The tree is like a teacher about death, about how to die, and how natural it is and of course something natural is not to be feared.’
RIP my dear friend Anne.
Only Love❤️

This unexpectedly gives me a lot of joy. It feels organised, clear and clean. Perfect for a fresh first day of Feb & Spring.
Whatever it looks like for you, whether it’s blowing off the cobwebs of Jan, or just giving yourself a break, I’m wishing it’s a peaceful one for you x

It’s easy to feel alone right now, even when you know there’s so many people around you that love & care for you. Let’s spread love & connection by letting 3 people you know today that you’re grateful for them.
Tag 3 people you are grateful for or share to your story & tag them. You never know who’s day you’re about to change with a simple message. If they’re not in insta, send a text x

It’s not Terry’s, it’s mine! I’m not even sorry for the many many ‘naughty’ foods I ate over Xmas. Sometimes you just need to go with what your body wants. Not all the time or I may turn into a Chinese take away, but I refuse to believe that you have to be super strict ALL the time.
I definitely have a penchant for deep fried foods, I mean, batter a Mars bar or tempura a carrot and give it to me 😂 but I make sure I pack in my nutrition abs flood my body with tasty ‘healthy’ foods too.
It’s hard to beat the taste of a perfectly rip fresh piece of fruit though like this, BURSTING with juice and flavour. Exactly what I needed this morning to start off my day!
I’d love to hear your favourite tasty ‘healthy food’?

I have my little routine nailed at night.
2 x thin pillows.
Not one thick one, has to be those 2 specifically 😂
It took me MONTHS to get used to when I bought them first. I really fancied the idea of the voluptuous ones, very Instagram worthy fancy type ones, with extra cushions and half the bed taken up with multiple layers of cushions too.
If I hadn’t of thrown my old ones out, I’d have just stuck with my original ones, but it’s probably a bit gross. Can’t imagine how much I must drool. How often are you even supposed to change pillows? I don’t want to know actually, because I’d need to take time out to break myself in 🤪
Anyone’s else got pillow OCD? I’m looking at you 😂😘😂

This did make me giggle, then I took a look in her mirror and didn’t laugh so much.
It’s easy in December to ‘go go go’ and put extra pressure in ourselves.
We are already dealing with a global pandemic with many extra considerations.
If you do anything today, I invite you to take a moment to slow down and be kind to yourself.
RSVP yes to this one please 😘

Over the weekend I concisely slowed down took & some time out. Watched many many episodes of the crown 🙌🏻 and made some yum food. When I say ‘made’; It came in a box from all chopped, prepared and looking super fancy. I managed to take a peep at their insta page and tried to emulate their finesse. I managed to get a bit of sunlight and get this trendy looking photo before I scoffed it. So I guess I’m a photographer now who strategically places tasty crumbs on a yummy plate rather than being frowned upon for dropping crumbs out of my mouth whilst talking with my mouth full 😂
