✨ GLITTER & GLOW IS BACK! ✨

After such a successful day last year, we’re so excited to say that Glitter & Glow Winter Fair is returning for 2026! ❄️✨

📅 Saturday 14th November
⏰ 12pm–4pm
📍 Hollingwood Pub Function Room

Last year was such a lovely day, bringing everyone together, supporting local businesses and getting into the Christmas spirit. 🎄🥰 This year, Sarah and I are already working behind the scenes on some new and different little extras to make it even more special! 👀✨

And there’s another reason to celebrate this year! 🥂 Hollingwood Pub will have recently reopened following its refurbishment, so it’s a lovely opportunity to come along, see the newly refreshed pub and support them too. ❤️

🎟️ FREE tickets are now available to collect from either myself or Sarah — and your ticket gets you one of our Glitter & Glow goodie bags on the day! 🎁✨

We’re also looking for some lovely local stallholders to join us! 🛍️ If you’re a client, friend, family member or know someone with a small local business who would fit perfectly with our day, please get in touch.

📅✨ RIGHT… LET’S GET SET FOR THE FINAL 3 MONTHS OF THE YEAR! 🎄

September is the perfect time to get a little life admin done before the madness of October, November & December begins! 😂🙌🏼

The calendar is now OPEN right through to the end of the year! 🙌🏼

There are only 15 Fridays until Christmas 😳🎅🏼
So, if you’re one of my super-organised clients who likes to get booked in early… this is your sign! 😂
Or maybe you’re having one of those “right, today I’m sorting my whole life out” days… add your massage/facial/waxing appointment to the list! ✔️😂

Get yourself booked, future-you will thank you! 💚✨

Appointments are available to book via the link in my bio.

✨ IT’S NEARLY TIME TO COME OUT OF HIBERNATION! 😂

I’ve got a little update for you all…
From 1st September, I’ll be introducing a new treatment to the menu. 🙌

🌿 HEAD TO SOLE SERENITY 🌿
A gorgeous relaxing treatment focusing on your shoulders, face, scalp and feet — basically all the lovely relaxing bits without me having to tackle the full body just yet! 😂
And before anyone starts worrying… YES, IT HAS BEEN PHYSIO APPROVED! 🙌🏼😂
I’ll also be seeing my physio the week before I’m due back, where I’ll be assessed and hopefully given the green light to bring some of my other treatments back as planned.
I’m definitely learning that recovery doesn't work on “I feel good today, so let's do EVERYTHING!” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
So we’re taking it slowly, listening to my body and doing things properly — even if my impatient side would quite happily have me back behind the massage bed tomorrow! 😂
I honestly cannot wait to see all your lovely faces again. 💚
Head to Sole Serenity is available on fresha now to book from 1st September. ✨
Thank you for being so patient, supportive and understanding while I’ve been on my little recovery rollercoaster. 🎢❤️
FP Massage Therapist will be back… just easing myself back in one massage at a time! 💆🏼‍♀️😂

Week 2 & 3 of recovery have definitely had their ups and downs, twists and turns... it feels a little bit like a Craig David song. 🤣
On the Thursday after surgery, Lola decided to go missing for 11 hours. I did ask her where she'd been, but apparently it's top secret. 🐱❤️ The stress, and not been the first walk since surgery I had planned that day, and bending down to scoop her up definitely set me back. It was all just a bit too much for my body.
On Friday, the top of my thigh on my "good" leg suddenly went numb for a few hours, so after a call to the hospital they booked me in for a last-minute physio appointment. Saturday is a bit of a blur if I'm honest, but thankfully the pain had eased and everything had started to calm down.
By Sunday, the physio was really happy with my progress. He thinks the numbness was just a blip caused by the extra strain and stress from Lola's little adventure. I came away with a few new exercises, and they're going really well. I've filmed them to share, although don't judge my technique just yet! 😂 The seated leg raise with the pillow is to help strengthen my thigh muscle, as he thinks there's still a bit of weakness there.
The rest of these two weeks have been about making steady progress.
The hardest part of recovery is finding that balance... do enough, but not too much. Rest, but don't rest too much. It's a constant battle of listening to my body.
I've started having moments where my leg and body don't hurt anymore. The first time I realised it, I cried. For so long I'd wished for the feeling of taking a step without being in agony, and suddenly it happened. As strange as it sounds, getting used to being pain-free is almost as exhausting as living with the pain was.
For anyone living with constant pain or going through a similar recovery, I really hope this helps. There are good days, and there are days that absolutely stink. But healing isn't linear, and sometimes your body just needs time, patience, and rest. ❤️

See comments on videos on how to do these exercises.

✨ A successful op at Barlborough Hospital with the loveliest staff and ward ladies who kept each other smiling. ✨ Home to strict rest (although I was bored within about two hours! 🤣). ✨

Saturday was a bit of a rough day, but every day I've had my amazing babysitters keeping me company and making sure I don't overdo it. ✨ Endless cuddles from Lola, Stella and the puppies have definitely been the best medicine. 🐾❤️ ✨ The bruising has finally decided to make an appearance! 💜 ✨ 8 clips removed 😅. After clip number two I nearly fainted, so lying down became the plan! Still needs one more dressing check up monday. ✨ Learning to slow down, accept help and realise it's okay not to be able to do everything has probably been the biggest challenge... but I'm getting there.

Thank you so much for all the lovely messages, check-ins and support. Recovery isn't always glamorous, but every day is a step closer to getting back to doing what I love. 🤍

So this is me officially going on strict rest mode for a few weeks 🤍

As most of you know, I’ll be taking a little break from 16/07/26 while I have my operation and recover.

I’m honestly gutted to be stepping away for a bit and I’m going to miss all our chats, catch-ups and seeing your lovely faces each week 🥹🤍
I’ve pinned a post with all the info you might need while I’m away, and if you’d like recommendations for who to see in the meantime, please just message me.

Thank you so much for all the kind words, messages, you made my last few days so special. All being well, I should be back from 01/09/26 ✨

Take care of yourselves and I’ll see you all very soon 🤍
