Decided to do my face for the last night in NYC before heading to dinner in DUMBO at @celestinebklyn. We drove back from Provincetown and I had my FIRST proper manicure… seriously. Shout out to Wendy at Plaza Nail in Montecute Street for the mani pedi. Wearing @sephora brow pencil and @lorealpro Brow Artist Plump & Set, @tartecosmetics tubing mascara, @beautypie kohl in black. Skin is Fond de Teint by @yslbeauty, @diorbeauty Forever Skin Concealer, @milk matte bronzing stick and @charlottetilbury beauty light wands in High Blush (Pinkgasm) and the Easy Highlight. Lip is Pillow Talk (Matte Revolution). My tan lines are screwed by the way – I normally put loads of SPF on but when cycling round Nantucket I didn’t fully cover my back and my skin holds tan for over six months sometimes so that’s gonna be awkward on camera 🤣 #makeover #nightmakeup #brooklyn
40 weeks and 5 days… this baby does NOT want to come out!!!
My hair has been all over the shop since having Aoife the Baby – the texture has been unworkable and I’ve tried so many different things to make it better. Now the curls are coming back which is really exciting but the flat ends were not cute. So the only solution is to cut them loose and go short and it let grow again, so that’s what my go-to hairdresser @salmasir, founded of @hehco_london did! #curlyhair #shortcurls #transition #makeover #hairstyling
BIG HAIR FOR BIG HOSTIN’ Last day on #GamechangersEMEA and my last desk host of the Summer. – got a podcast rec on site at #IEM and then I’m taking a short TO for the rest of August. As this is makeup for camera there’s a long list of what I used below… (no I don’t use as much when I’m not working!!!) Dress is @monki Today I’m wearing @lisaeldridgemakeup velveteen lip in “Ribbon” (#gifted), @diorbeauty forever matte foundation, forever concealer and Diorshow mascara, @patmcgrathreal eyeshadow in “Statuesque” with a liquid liner from @beautypie and the Bridgerton Blush palette. Bronzer is @lorealparis Infallible. Also remembered my eyebrows today – yay me – so used a @sleekmakeup brow pencil For hair I used @miss_jessies Quick Curls with @hershesons Zoosh foam on the ends while still wet and after airdrying I used @kristin_ess Working Texture Spray to give it oomph. Lovely seeing my curls actually come back now most of the baby hormone screwed lengths (a weird straightened fuzz) have mostly been cut away, although there’s still some dodgy bits to grow out and get rid of. #broadcasting #makeup #makeover #curlyhair #naturalcurls #redlip #monkistyle
Doing broadcast makeup for #FNCS semi-finals and it is 32 degrees outside so who knows if I can keep it on my face for the entire show… 🤣 Also, my skin is nearly back on track after my pregnancy eczma and staph infection but not quite 100% so hopefully this will wash off ok… Been using Aveeno and La Roche Posay for skincare and the LRP eye cream has definitely been a massive help.
Mama got the post partum hair buff… did me face for a wedding anniversary lunch (but the window light did a LOT)
Weird #nesting habit has appeared… #DIY #sewing #sewingfail
In the last couple of months I’ve travelled to America and around Europe working on esports coverage of League of Legends, Fortnite and Counter-Strike (among others). I’m constantly busy, always moving and need to prep for the next event while working on another. But, let’s be honest, I also want to get in some gaming time for myself too. The high-performance multi-tasking #MSI Stealth 16 Studio features a #13thGen Intel® Coreâ„¢ i7-13700H processor with 14 cores and 20 threads, plus a NVIDIA® GeForce RTXâ„¢ 4060 Laptop GPU and a 16 inch QHD 240Hz screen. Travelling with it means I’m ready to work, VOD review and train – I mean, game – anywhere and everywhere I go.

NOT AN AWPER… Kept moving cos I thought he’d shoot me lol… I mean, HE WOULD HAVE #dust2 #cs2 #Counterstrike
I got a new friend in the post… thanks @starwarsoutlaws and @inteluk for the cute gift! #gifted #nix #unboxing #starwarsoutlaws

Have struggled to get #Counterstrike 2 up and running since the full CSGO switch so this was my first game in about nine months (!) If I hadn’t taken fall dmg then maybe a 3k, but then maybe I would have been too late for the 2k…. THAT IS LIFE. All I know is I’m not amazing at CS, but after this game (where the boys I ended up with ignored my callouts and only spoke to each other), I had a great time.
When @kwikfit_uk invited me to the @fosgoodwood I didn’t anticipate going head-to-head with pro driver @btcc driver @danielrowbottom.32, but he needed a worthy competitor and I was the next best choice (allegedly). Visitors to the stand were able to admire race cars and also take part in the Kwikfit BTCC Esports Series on @rfactor2official for the chance to win tickets to the BTCC finals at Brands Hatch in October. There was also the opportunity to learn more about Project Tree, Kwikfit’s project to help protect the Indonesian rainforest through more sustainable natural rubber production for tyres. #goodwoodfestivalofspeed2023 #Ad #simracing #rfactor2 #btcc
A quick summary of why I’ve become obsessed with #Balatro and why it is shouldn’t be classed as a gambling game… #twitchstreamer #indiegames
Who Brian’d the best, and who Cox’d it up!? @sacriel or @twoangrygamerstv? #chainedtogether
My first play of Chained Together was EVENTFUL (also sweary – you have been warned…) #twitchclips #chainedtogether
A clip of last night’s tug of war with @twoangrygamerstv & @Sacriel… we pulled it off in the end! Thanks to @IntelUK for sponsoring the stream. #IntelGamerDays deals conclude on Friday 15th, so don’t miss your chance for a Barry bargain!
I was lucky enough to get a sneaky early look at @starwarsoutlaws thanks to @ubisoftuk & @intelgaming. In this video we meet Kay and Nix, witness some very dangerous driving and dogfighting in a space junkyard… #Ad #Intel14thGen #Ubisoft #IntelGamingAlliance #StarWarsOutlaws
I’m waiting for baby no.2 to arrive any day now, so when I found some abandoned shelves on the street, I couldn’t wait to give them a makeover… We genuinely needed to put some shelves up to free up drawers for the newborn so the timing was perfect. Colour is @makeitrustoleum Evening Blue. I already had the paint, brush and tin so it was pretty much cost-free. #upcycling #chalkpaint #shelves #nursery #diy
Some of my favourite shots from the @dolphinfleetwhalewatch trip. They kept popping up everywhere, a real test of my sluggish reactions… #whale #whalewatching #CapeCod
