Today we said goodbye to Auntie Shelia. The kindest most caring lady and eldest relative we have. The matriarch of our family. After almost 93 years her body became tired. Now at peace and reunited with Uncle Peter and many more relatives, I’m sure they’ll be having a celebration together just as we did today at her send off. As sad as funerals are, it’s always lovely having the family together having a good laugh and a good buffet! 😂
Thanks for teaching our family to always stay positive. I’m convinced that’s why you lived so happy for so long, because regardless of the situation you always looked on the bright side. Sleep well…I’ll miss your pound coins sellotaped in my Birthday card this year, but I know you’ll check in on everyone now & again ♥️

Coz imma boss! (Well, I felt like one in this power suit!) ♥️ Worked with @ryankaystyles again for Pride Of Britain Awards. He introduced me to the Manchester brand @samaiiraofficial At my fitting Samaiira asked how I was and I said I’m Great but my body doesn’t look how it did yet, and red carpets are always daunting ect… She then said “I understand. I’ve been there” She told me about her battles with postpartum depression & how that was the driving force in her doing her brand, to empower woman and young girls. Made bespoke to the individual, be it for a prom, an event or wedding so we feel our best! It made perfect sense for me to wear her designs. Ryan then sourced my shoes, diamonds and broach and the lovely @emjedit came and did my glam using all cruelty free products 💚 She’ll post to her grid.

Mias started watching Grease and loves this dance scene. Little does she know, mum & papa did it better 😎
What happens in Blackpool…. @gorka_marquez (I cut it short before it got slutty) 😂

Genuinely seems like 2 mins ago I was on this same beach holding Mia when she was Thiagos age.
Time has flown by ❤️
I’m so lucky to be their mum.

I love this. You can break the cycle for your family and create new habits that you know will help them thrive. I heard a story once about two brothers with an alcoholic father. One of them became an alcoholic themselves stating that, he saw his dad drink everyday and despite the damage it caused he didn’t know any different. The other brother never touched alcohol in his life stating that, I saw my dad drink everyday and saw the damage it caused so I wanted different. There’s always different paths we can take. It’s not always an easy path, but it’s there. Be it with our relationship with ourselves or with others.
Hats off to anyone trying to better themselves and their family. Keep going! 🙌🏼❤️
12 weeks and 2 days PP and my first attempt back at the Bar! Up until now it’s been body weight and Dumbbells so it felt good to get a little more progression. Slow and steady. Kat programmed me 3 rounds 8 reps so I started at 30kg and my last set was 35kg so no big jump weight wise. I’m remembering to put my ego aside and keep focused on my recovery 💪🏼 @hatch_athletic
Little bit of this, little bit of that 😃
10 weeks postpartum today and on week 3 of @hatch_athletic PP program.
Starting to introduce some light weights to sessions which I’m enjoying. Ego aside and nothing too heavy at all. I’m switching off the “I know I can lift way more” button and going with the “my body is still recovering from a major op so just chill!” 😂
As always I started the session with my core work to help heal my diastasis recti. I’m back in with debs soon so I can check my progress on that when she measures my gap. I then did supersets of goblets & shoulder press and then a 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 ladder of lateral box steps into walking lunges. This was a killer on my thighs and glutes! Ended as always with my stretch routine. The same one I did throughout pregnancy and before hand. Always makes me feel good 😌
Remember you MUST get the go ahead from a professional before starting any kind of exercise postpartum, especially after a C section. Get your checks done first and only start If and when you feel ready 👍🏼
The dream team is back! 💃🏼 🕺🏼
