  • Here’s a few of the sweet treats I’ve been indulging in during lockdown… The time for being strict with my eating habits went out the window as soon as chaos struck and I started to feel overwhelmed. During all the madness, I’ve been more lenient with myself and if I want to eat ice cream/cakes/doughnuts I just have it! The key is balance. We all know what’s good for us and what isn’t, what we should be eating more of & what we should be cutting back on. Remember to stay hydrated, get your 5 a day, but have your
  • For #mentalhealthawareness week I’d love for everyone who’s going through something right now to stop comparing their struggles, and to understand/appreciate we all have stuff going on. Some keep their concerns private, they keep quiet, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling too. Saying you have it worse off than someone else, saying they don’t realise how lucky they are, isn’t helping anyone. In times like these, a little compassion and understanding goes a longgggg way. Be kind to each other... #jnaephillips
  • If you’re reading this congratulations on surviving 2020 so far, you should be proud! With everything going on in the world I wanted to leave it a respectable amount of time before I began creating #blog content again, so here we are now back with a brand new #beauty post. Let’s be real 95% of lockdown has been spent #makeup free, but when I have felt the need to put on a face this is my go-to look. What do you think? Link in bio for full post... #jnaephillips
  • I’ve been offline for some time now, and for good reason... With everything going on in the world, I needed to take time for myself to recharge, to reflect, and to collect my thoughts. I recognise that I’m incredibly lucky and privileged to be able to do so. But it’s time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, to grow, and to convert ignorance and unawareness to knowledge. With all of the injustice being suffered across the globe, it’s time to act. It’s time for change. What are you doing to help? Are you asking the right questions? Are you checking
  • One thing I’m definitely missing at the moment is vintage shopping. Vintage shopping, or #thrifting as my US friends like to call it, was something I never gave much time to a few years ago. But when I began travelling solo, #vintage stores were something I sought out specifically. Ahhh the treasures to be found! There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finding a vintage piece that speaks to you, that you know no one else will have, that’s one of a kind. Vintage #shopping is more personal, it’s unique. It’s where you can have fun with #fashion and experiment.
  • I’m backkkkk! It’s been a while but you know, there’s been a ton of shit going on & your girl was exhausted. Mentally, emotionally, physically drained. Whilst I may not be back to 100%, who is? There’s too much going on in the world, too much to deal with. But enough of that, I just wanted to let you know I’m back. Back to content creating, blogging, writing - the whole shebang. If anything the pandemic has taught me that if I enjoy doing something, if I have a passion, I gotta go for it. Reach my goals, achieve my
