November 3, 2021

Just because you don’t see the disability, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. This is what I wish people would understand about the daily struggles I have as a person with chronic disabling conditions. Do you think people are looking at you like you’re a fraud? […]

May 11, 2021

To mark Fibromyalgia Awareness Day (12th May), I’m sharing an insight into my life as a fibro-fighting mum to a four year old, and why I worry I’m not the best example of a great mum. If I feared anything about becoming a parent, it […]

Managing Labour Pain With Babycare Elle TENS

March 23, 2017

Pain control is one of the biggest concerns of any birth plan.  This was most certainly true for me, when throughout my own pregnancy I had this huge fear of not being able to cope with the overwhelming pain of childbirth.   My extreme period pain experience, […]

Getting Fit | Big Boobs & Body Pain

August 20, 2014

My fitness and physique has bothered me for a while.  Suffering periods of low self esteem and falling into depressive crevices, I realised my unhappiness had begun to reflect in my appearance.  Confining myself to the comforts of home had taken its toll, both physically and […]

My Story In a Not-so-Nutshell

November 24, 2013

Whenever I tell someone I’m a lingerie blogger, I always receive the same exacerbated look, maybe because not every person you meet writes about lingerie every day, or maybe, all in that mili-second moment, I really said “I’m a porn star”.  (Which I’ll be quick […]

When you just wanna say hi and show off a necklace you made but all you can see are the greys you could do with colouring again. 😆

Someone was happy about “skiving” today. 😝 His class was off school because of the teacher strike so a visit to Grandma’s it was! (And a ‘spoons lunch.  Grandma doesn’t live in Wetherspoons. 🤣)

Once Christmas is over, retailers move onto the next big thing - Easter.  Which means it’s a dangerous place for a “rabbity” sort of person like me because everywhere you look you see rabbits (or hares which work for me too). Forgot I saw this in TK Maxx last week.  I was very good and resisted buying it so the next best thing was a “look what I found” selfie.  Honestly, life with me is just full of surprises! 😆😂

The question here is not why am I taking selfies in the church toilets again, but why does my green top look brown? 🧐 

Had a fantastic morning singing on worship again.  You can’t beat that release of giving it all to God, He who is worthy of everything.

Some exciting news!  I’m starting up my own jewellery shop! ✨ 

S E T // A P A R T 
This is my new little venture - handcrafting contemporary jewellery that’s faith-filled and inspirational. 

In quality pure materials from 925 sterling silver to genuine sea glass; hand hammered lettering to hand metal wiring, these pieces will be a treasure and blessing to wear or to gift.

As a perfectionist (and a procrastinator!) it’s taken me a while to bring this to fruition, but here we are, I’m just about there!  My beautiful gift boxes are in the process of being made which I’m super excited about getting back.  I’m not gonna want to let them go! 😂 

So here’s a little glimpse of what I’m doing.  These are the sea glass necklaces but I’m also making Christian pieces with Truth declarations and affirmations on discs, bars and tiny stars. 

So please do give my new jewellery shop your support @setapartjewellery - I’d love you to come along the journey with me.
