Hey guys!
Tomorrow is the day I start my 100,000 steps for Guide Dogs. For the next week I’ll be walking every day to raise money for Guide Dogs.
This next week is going to kill me, but I’m determined to do it. I’ll be updating my @justgiving page and vlogging it as my week progresses.
Anything you can donate to support me and to help raise more money for Guide Dogs would be so very appreciated.
Every donation helps make a different no matter how small. Unity came into my life when my independence was non existent. My mental health was at an all time low. She gave me my life back and showed me what it truly meant to be happy asking for very little in return. I’m eternally grateful to everyone who gives to this amazing charity. Guide dogs receives no government funding and can only train guide dogs through the generosity of the public and through fundraising.
It could be as little as £2 that you would spend on a morning coffee. That £2 will help to train a guide dog who will one day enrich somebodies life beyond measure. You can help give one of the greatest gifts to someone living with sight loss, their independence.
Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated.
You can donate by heading to the link in my bio. .

L’Occitane Fruity Lip Collection
My new blog post is up on the new @loccitane_uk_ire fruit inspired collection featuring new facemasks, lip scrubs, lip care, and lipsticks. The whole range is made using fruit and other extracts sourced from Provence. It’s a really fun collection and it smells absolutely incredible. Of course I’m going to mention L’Occitane in my blog, being that they are one of the only beauty brands that include Braille on their products. Head over to my blog now to check it out, the link is in my bio. My favourite product from this collection definitely has to be the raspberry lip scrub, it smells absolutely amazing almost good enough to eat!

Gant: Never Stop Learning
I’m a firm believer that the best way to be more sustainable with our wardrobes and fashion choices is to know one’s style.
Being a style blogger, my online world is so often dominated by fast fashion and rapidly changing trends. I used to fall prey to fast fashion in the past and would buy many garments, only to wear them once before disguarding them in favour of new ones.
But, I’ve evolved since then and now I try to make smart choices about what clothes I buy. I know my style, I choose pieces that are classic and that I know I’ll wear again and again. I go for colours that compliment me skin tone and easy to style pieces like shift dresses and shirts.
One thing that is a true investment is a decent shirt, a well made shirt can see you through too many different occasions.
I recently acquired this beautiful @gant shirt with in white with blue Snowdrops. It’s a beautiful pattern, a flattering cut and is so versatile. They are so incredibly well made. I styled it with my @zatchels_uk blue saddle bag, a pair of light wash denim jeans and my white @converse
But I would also dress this up with a blazer and some smart trousers for an interview or more formal event.
It’s not only an investment piece, but it’s a more sustainable one.
Gant has been making some fantastic moves to make their brand more sustainable. They are making shirts using recycled plastics that have been collected by fisherman in the mediteranian; in a bid to reduce and recycle the 165 million tons of plastic in our oceans. They are also working on other initiatives like their Better Cotton Initiative and their Waterkeeper Alliance Project. As they reach their 70th Anniversary, they continue to search for new ways to make their brand more sustainable and ethical.
What is your favourite thing to wear?

I’m really loving the new @loccitane_uk_ire Herbae Hand Cream. I was gifted this when I went for my recent arm massage! It has a really fresh green scent to it with notes of Wild Grass, Wild Roses and White Nettle. One of my all time favourite scents is the smell of freshly cut grass and for me this hand cream really encapsulates that scent. L’Occitane make the BEST hand creams I’ve ever used and I’m just in love with this scent. The packaging is also absolutely beautiful with a really pretty botanical design on the front. I’m really keen to try this scent in other products. .

My new one brand facial video is up on my YouTube channel. My one brand facial series is where I pick a skincare brand and create a facial or skincare routine using the products from that brand. It gives me the chance to go into a little bit more depth about the brand, their ethics and showcase some of their products. The latest brand in the series that I will be focusing on is @renskincare REN is a Swedish clean, cruelty free skincare brand. This is a little sneak peak of what you can expect to see in the video, if you would like to see the full video check out my YouTube channel which is linked in my bio.

#Gifted 🍃Tints of Nature 🍃
I’m trying out some Haircare from a new brand called Tints of Nature. Tints of Nature is a cruelty free haircare and hair colouring brand made in the the New Forest, UK. They make their products using natural ingredients, free from parabens and sulphates.
I’ve been trying some products from their hydrate range including their shampoo, conditioner, treatment and dry shampoo made with Black Oats, Comfrey, Aloe Vera and Chamomile Flower.
It has the most incredible scent to it, I used the products last night and my hair felt so soft and conditioned.
It was really easy to wash out and my hair felt really clean, the Aloe Vera also felt really soothing on the scalp.

I’ve had a really exciting week this week. The start of the week was a bit of a drag with me being ill getting over the remnants of being sick last week. But I’ve had a great last few days.
On Wednesday I was invited to lunch with @loccitane_uk_ire at the gorgeous @hotelcaferoyal and then afterwards they showed me around their Regent Street Flagship Store where I got to have a hand massage and pick out some products to try. They also showed and gifted me their new skincare range for 2019. This is a brand that I’ve always admired for the fact that they incorporate braille on their products and their company is so geared towards helping the sight loss community with charity projects. But they are also doing lots of wonderful things like their new recycling scheme and beach clean projects they have launched to make their brand more sustainable.
Yesterday I filmed with @skynews on a piece about the rise in online disability hate crime for a new campaign headed by @leonardcheshire The piece went out at around 7.30 this morning and you can watch it back by heading over to Sky News Live on YouTube and scrolling back a few hours.
Next week on Monday 13th of May at 9.15am I’m appearing on @bbcone Rip Off Britain where I’ll be talking about being a disabled shopper and store inaccessibility. The feature is reported by the lovely @Sam antharenke and will focus on how more stores need to be made more disability accessible.
Next week is also looking to be pretty exciting with new products to review, new projects to work on and an exciting interview for a new magazine feature.
Onwards and upwards!
