  • You don't have to be slim to wear what you want. 🙌🙌🙌  I've spent years battling with my body and my size and I'm over it.  Last year only proved to me that we have to embrace the NOW.  That's why I've spent the past few months investing in clothes I love, regardless of the number on the tag and I'm obsessed with myself.  I used to be a size 6 and I wasn't happy. Size 8, 10, 12, 14 and finally 16. And guess what. The label in my clothes didn't make me happy, that shit comes from within.  I can wear short skirts with thick thighs, crop tops with a belly and everything in between. And so can you 💕  #midsizefashion #midsizebodies #bodypositivity #90sfashion
  • 👋 IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE👋  Hey, you might have noticed I've not posted in a little while. You might not have noticed and that's cool too.  I haven't been anywhere exciting, just took some time off this account because my brain was getting sad and overwhelmed.  I was trying to work a full time job, launch @ajcocandles and maintain a beautifully curated social media account all within the same day and wowwwww, it wasn't working.  So, instead I focussed on my brand and my job and logged out of this account.  But I miss posting, I miss blogging and I miss talking to you lot. This doesn't have to be perfect and I don't want it to be. Just because I'm not making this my full-time passion, doesn't mean I can't casually post every now and then.  To conclude, this is my new desk and I may pop up on your stories soon.  💕

  • Starting the New Year how I mean to go on. Boujie AF 💁🏻‍♀️.  So obsessed with the @vonshef_uk cheeseboard and knives we got for Christmas. Oh, and the @marksandspencer oak smoked camembert was 🔥🧀  #newyearsameme #cheeseboard #smallspaceliving #smallhome #vonshef
  • It's been two years since we moved in and what a difference we've made to our lovely little home 🏠🎉  I know plenty of IG celebs appear to get their homes finished in weeks, but that's unrealistic.  Our home has taken two years to get to a place I'm happy with and there are STILL things to be done. Like finishing the painting in the living room 🙈  #newbuild #homeanniversary #smallspaceliving #smallhome #studioflat #myhome
  • 🎉 IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'VE LAUNCHED MY FIRST CANDLE COLLECTION 🎉 All three scents are available to buy right now, all ethically made with zero plastic in sight. Oh, and they smell amaaaazing 💕 #candlesofinstagram #candlebusiness #soycandles #ecofriendlyproducts #birthdaypresent
