Have had the best week at Amadria Park, near Trogir and just 15 minutes from Split airport. This literally felt like something out of a film and not at all what I’d envisioned when someone mentioned the word “Eurocamp” 🤪)... what a beautiful piece of bliss. Days bathing listening to waves crashing, card games under pine trees and paddle boarding on the gentle waves.
Absolutely restorative and let our children, and us get to play in this beautiful place

🤷🏼‍♀️ Did you expect it to look like this?

Celebrating a year of doing my own nails 😂😂!! Caus Celebrating a year of doing my own nails 😂😂!! Cause we gotta celebrate all of the little things! 

About a year ago I had to tighten up some finances and I decided to start doing my own nails 💅 👀 here’s my latest olive set! 

Are they perfect? No! Do I now actually look forward to laying in bed and slowly curating some pretty nails myself? Yup. Honestly I think I’m that delusional person who believes she can do a lot of things herself. It’s definitely not the standard or level or the talented nail techs I’ve visited in the past, but it’s mine and for now it’s my little bit of peace ✨☺️. I’ve found a lot of joy in making mistakes and improving with each set. 

 I saw some press ons like this recently that inspired this design! Super easy to replicate on my non dominant hand too! 🤭

I wasn’t sure I was ever going to share this but h I wasn’t sure I was ever going to share this but here we are… 

At 33 I did question if there was any reason for me to even get a diagnosis, did it change anything? Did I want medication? Did I need the validation? Well I’ve sat on it for over 9 months now and I do feel myself decompressing in understanding more about myself and how I am in interactions and relationships 

 Sorry for continuously interrupting, acting without thinking through a situation, looking distant or lost in a deep conversation or needing extreme step by step help when trying to build something, I now know why I am what I am ☺️ I’m just eager to join in, show and feel love and share experiences. 😘

This week I had the utter delight of performing with THE MOST TALENTED cast I’ve ever had the pleasure to share a stage with. Not only super talented, but actually remarkably kind people, who from day one have been everyone’s cheerleaders. I won’t list everyone as I could go on and on about you all, cast and crew you’ve been tremendous. 

As a teen I loved singing, I loved performing but somewhere along the way I lost my confidence and spark. I felt unsure of my abilities and just stopped… a few years ago I took myself back to the stage and since then have been building on that again and again… this time adding in puppetry 😭😬.. Lucy the Slut, you’ve been a sassy babe, my skirt got shorter each evening and the laughs got louder. 💋 

Thank you to all who supported in any way you did, I can’t thank you enough 🩷.
