BLM - Ways I’m helping: 1. READ I ordered these highly recommended books the other day so I could support black authors and also learn more about black culture. ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ has been on my want list for a while and ‘Americanah’ is a new find thanks to all the resources being shared during these times. . I also have more books on my list to buy in the future as well as books that I have read previously (Queenie, An American Marriage & Becoming). I’ve been trying to wonder why I don’t read books by BAME authors and the honest answer is I don’t know. Something I want to do now is make a more conscious effort to support these authors and do what I can to learn and educate myself about their culture and the racism that exists in society. . Please, if I’ve said something wrong correct me. I’m learning - I will make mistakes and I’m here to learn from them.

We can all do more. Sign petitions. Donate to memorial funds if you can. Read books, listen to podcasts, watch series about race, support creators. Educate yourself. I stand with you. The link in my bio will direct you to ways you can help. #blackouttuesday

What I read in May 📚 and hello for the first day of #bethsbookclubchallenge 👋🏼 I had a pretty good month for reading and I also read one on my kindle making my total for the month 6 🙌🏼 really enjoyed all my reads and both of Beth’s Book club picks were good! 📖 I’ve also had a lot of new followers over the past month or so and the first prompt for the challenge has come at a good time! So hey, I’m Liz, in my mid-twenties and I’m an occasional lifestyle and book blogger with an obsession with books 📚📖 I’m currently in the process of buying a house with my boyfriend of 6 years 🏠❤️ due to the pandemic; I’m WFH (a key worker in the transport industry) for the foreseeable and I kinda like it🙆🏼‍♀️ tell me something about yourself in the comments and let’s have a chat 💜

I miss hinching my own home so much 😭 can’t wait to move in our house and use @mrshinchhome book to keep it all clean and tidy 😍 I also miss all my cleaning products; is that sad? Having 95% of your possessions in storage for 3+ months is hard as I miss virtually everything that we spent years buying/collecting 😫 it will be worth it when we are eventually in our home 🤞🏼

These cookies were some of the best I’ve ever made so there’s a high chance I will make some more today 🍪😍 along with food shopping, reading and doing a jigsaw I plan to have a very chilled Monday ready for the working week to begin tomorrow 🙌🏼 what are your plans for today? ☀️🌷 • Recipe from @janespatisserie

started to write a long caption about my weight and body issues but didn’t like it so this is the caption ✌🏼 but essentially I was talking about how much my body has changed in the last few years and how I struggle to lose weight with PCOS and how I’m now starting to love it again, even with the lockdown belly 🐷 most people write some inspiring caption but in the words of Ru Paul ‘if you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love someone body else’ AMEN. Have a lovely Saturday everyone, enjoy the day and don’t forget to wear sunscreen . . . #bodyconfidenceforall #midsizestyle #midsizegals #bodypositive #pcosweightloss #pcoslife #whatiwore #ootdstyle #catchupcaptions #contentcreator #ourbloggingtribe #fiandfriends #seethegram #theaestheticstory #thelazygirllife #positivelifestylecommunity #cheerfullylive #beffsbabes #colourfulcreators #growglowcreate #reallifeandstyle #blogandbeyond #hanshappygals #stylingsocial #theinfluencermembership #lookoftheday #imwearinghm #handmdenim #outfitrepeating #midsizestyling

SO grateful to have a garden at the minute ☀️🌿 trying a new thing this week called winding down after work as I’ve been neglecting this and self care over the last few weeks 🥺 I’ve started a new book and so far I’ve read 200+ pages since this morning 📚📖 my #mentalhealthawarenessweek pledge is to be kind to myself more. Take the time to read my book, watch a new series, exercise and do the things I love. The things that make me happy. The things that help my mental health. ✨ what do you do to help your mental health?🌼🍃 . . . #itonlyhappensinthemovies #hollybourne #averybookishpost #romancebook #YAreading #contemporaryreading #YAromance #bethsbookclub #whatimreading #mhaw2020 #readingismyhappyplace #mentalhealth #bekind #readersgonnaread #fortheloveofbooks #idratherbereading #catchupcaptions #theaestheticstory #contentcreator #growglowcreate #thelazygirllife #hanshappygals #cheerfullylive #fiandfriends #seethegram #magicofbookstagram #ilovetoread #theinfluencermembership

Latest lockdown haul - books 📚 anyone surprised? No, me either 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 so far in lockdown I’ve added approx. 15 books to my shelves (which was already full) AND to my TBR list (which was also already full) 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m excited to crack on with reading these though! Has anyone read any of the above? Would you recommend?

New skincare makes me happy 🧖🏼‍♀️ I have PCOS which in turn affects my skin so ensuring I have a good skincare regime is one way to keep my condition under control - I really struggle some months to keep my skin looking good. I have two weeks of a month (guess which two?!) where I am FULL of blemishes and then two weeks where I’m quite oily so I float between combination and blemished skin hence why I went for products from the tea tree and the seaweed ranges. Previously, I have used both tea tree products and feel sometimes like they are the only things that can help my skin and I’ve heard good things about the seaweed range. I love @thebodyshop skincare and I want to start using it as my main skincare shop. This will happen over time as I still have products I need to use up but I hope to fully convert to their tea tree & seaweed ranges 🙌🏼 What’s your favourite skincare brand? And how do you cope with breakouts? Chat with me below because ya girl needs some pointers 👇🏼
