We see a lot of Instagram vs. reality, where the reality isn’t actual reality, so I’m here to break up your feed with what mine and the majority of other people’s lives look like 90% of the time. Do you know all the ‘candid’ photos people post on social media that look so cute and in the moment? They’re not real. A lot of thought has gone into the outfits, the backgrounds, the whole aesthetic. Furniture & mess moved out of shot, pinterest boards made of poses; most the time, they’re shot on proper cameras, in hired rooms, with time spent on the editing process. The designer items are all dupes, and the laughing and dancing about is an act for the shot. The reality is that photos and content are more important than enjoying the moment- tbh, most of the time, they’re not even there to enjoy the moment, just to make it look like they are. And I say they, but I mean we- because I can do this too sometimes. & if I’m honest, I love consuming the aesthetic girl content, but I do have to remind myself when I look at my candid photos that genuinely were taken in the moment & compare them to the ones I see on Instagram and pinterest that it’s not real life and this is your reminder too🫶🏻 #instagramvsreality
I share this knowing there are more of you out there who are too scared to love with your whole heart because you’re scared of how much it will hurt if somebody breaks it. & I don’t just mean partners, I means friendships and practically everyone you meet. & the truth is, people will do you wrong and break your heart, and leave when they promised they never would, but if you close your heart because you’re scared of those people, you’ll miss out on the ones who are here to stay. The ones who want to love you with their whole heart through the good, bad and the ugly. Healing this part of me and learning to say I need people, has been a hard journey, but its been worth it🫶🏻 #avoidantattachment #engagement #love

South Africa 2024: The one where I turned 30 and got engaged 🥹🥳🥰(swipe to the end to see the actual reality of our engagement😭😂) I feel like we’ve just experienced the trip of a lifetime, and I fear that we will never ever be able to top the memories we made. We have never eaten so much 10/10 food and drank so much wine (that doesn’t give you a hangover🤩) & honestly, If you’re not already engaged, do it on holiday, because the amount of free glasses/ bottles of champagne you get is just amazing 😂- we proper milked it! I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world & so so grateful. I have a whole South Africa highlight with recommendations, advice etc, so if you’re going or thinking of going- check that out ❤️❤️ #southafrica #capetown #engagement

Praying she doesn’t watch this and think I’m a big weirdo stalker🥲🤣 I just love seeing a good fit that I can try to recreate myself and she was goals! It’s a little bit different to my usual vibe, but I enjoy?! Jeans @asos (so obsessed with these and the adjustable waist) Jumper @primark #ootd #recreate #outfitinspo
Whenever I open a question box, the most common dilemma is feeling behind in life. I think it’s mostly down to the institutionalised timeline that has been passed down through generations who didn’t have the same opportunities, flexibility, and freedom that we do these days. It’s also down to the conclusions we form about the people we follow on social media about their lives, relationships, and financial situations based on the snapshots we see of their lives. It got me thinking about the friends in my circles, who, as you will see from the video, are each on their own path, doing their own thing, and in different stages of life. Imagine we were all doing the exact same thing. How boring would that be? So I hope this makes you realise that you’re right on time for your life❤️ P.s. People on the other app were confused about how many mates I have LOL- this isn’t all different people. Some are the same person but different areas of their lives🫶🏻 #30s #life #comparison
I kind of have this rule that I don’t share things until I’m out of the other side,but I’m not even started on this journey and I already feel slight overwhelm🤯.I wrote this in my notes last month, unsure if it was a cathartic journal entry or if I was going to share it. While it feels like the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever shared on this app, I know that I feel the way I do because nobody talks about this stage & judging by the countless questions from in the box I posted in my story earlier, loads of you feel the same. God only knows how the journey will plan out for me but please know that if you’re experiencing alllll these questions, thoughts, feelings- you’re not alone x P.s. PLEASE only comment/ dm me positive things ❤️
If 2 out of 2 of us do it, I need to know how many more of you are knickers sniffers? 👙 Listen, when I say It smells nice I don’t mean like my favourite perfume nice, but we agreed that there is something abit comforting about it?!😂🥲 @charlieeparty #welistenandwedontjudge #relatable #justagirl
From hating my body with an eating disorder to getting into a sport that championed disordered eating & only loving my body when it was praised, to finally being in a healthy place with food and exercise and falling in love with my body, to realising that our bodies don’t need that much airtime and understanding that I can exist in my body without too much thought and use the excess thoughts to squeeze the most of of my life. It’s been WILD over the last 10 years, but I share this story now because it was through seeking a healthier lifestyle that I got too wrapped up in my weight and how I looked and eventually developed an eating disorder. & I just wanted to remind you amid all the weight loss noise right now that life is too f**king short to spend it thinking too long about food and what you look like. You bring far too much to the table to reduce yourself down to your weight on the scale. Can this year be the year where we focus on deep friendships, finding inner contentment and loving life?!🫶🏻🤩 #bodyimage #weightgain#selflove
When I really deep it, I think its WILD that we experience such drastic hormone shifts throughout the month, yet we are still expected to show up and perform consistently 🥲 I’ve been on the verge of screaming or crying (i’m not entirely sure which one lol) all day to the point where I genuinely question if I’m crazy, so plz tell me you’re the same 🙃#justagirl #timeofthemonth #hormonal
Last week, I went with my mum to try on wedding dresses for the first time 🥲🥹 Even though I have zero plans for the wedding, I felt like I needed to try some on to help me visualise myself being the bride at my wedding because I couldn’t even imagine it😂 I tried all different styles and fell in love with three (none of the ones in the video). I thought I’d gained a clearer idea of what we might do… but I’ve changed my mind three times since😫. Married girls, how TF did you figure out what you wanted to do for your wedding? What do you wish you’d have done different? I need all the help xox #wedding #weddingdress #adviceneeded
