Day 20 – After a week away it was nice to have a dip … 2 degrees so a real shock to the system. The discipline of this is helping me be focussed on my fatloss journey and I am beginning to see and feel the results. Onwards and upwards. Have a great Saturday everyone.
To all the small businesses out there led by female founders my top tip for success is create a community of people who love your product/ service, who you can rely on for feedback, ideas and support. Create a diverse group which reflects the world we live in and can help you thrive by sharing their unique experiences. It’s not about the number of followers you have it’s about the quality of those numbers and the authentic daily connections you make with the people who follow you. This is my community – I love my women and I love what we stand for together. I feel blessed to have them in my life as friends and as customers. I run my business with just 3 other women – we work hard, we’re passionate and we want to disrupt the skincare industry – not with new packaging or the latest way to bust a “wrinkle” but instead to do business and create products that puts women and the environment at the centre of every decision. We care about those who supply our products and we believe in honesty and transparency. We are disrupting by being different to how skincare has been made and sold to women. We’re not big. We’re not advertising. We’re not using influencers, we don’t have an investor. But we have a community of women and that’s the only tribe we need to grow and thrive. So if you are a small business please do not feel you are not being seen or heard just because you’re not in magazines, on the telly or have celebrity influencers – even with just a handful of followers you have everything you need to create a community around your business. Connect with those that support you and serve them well and reap the rewards of their loyal support x #women #womenempowerment #organicskincare #supportsmallbusiness

❤️ Happy Galentine’s Day from the City of Love! ❤️✨ In the run up to Valentine’s Day, I’ve chosen to celebrate the incredible women in my life with a Galentine’s getaway to Paris! 🥐🌆 Because sometimes, we need to put ourselves first, indulge in some quality time, and unwind with the women we love and trust. We’ve kicked off our Parisian adventure with blue skies, delicious croissants, and endless laughter. 🥐🌞🛍️ As I grow older, I realise how important it is to take “me time” breaks with my girls. These moments nurture my mental health, feed my soul, and create lifelong memories. This Valentine’s, I encourage you all to focus on what makes you happy, rather than waiting for others to make you happy. You have the power to control your self-love… you can’t control how much others love you. 💖 #GalentinesDay #Paris #SelfLove #MeTime #Girlfriends #MemoriesForLife
In Paris… the city of LOVE …. Nothing can go wrong
Day 2 of our #GalentinesAdventure in Paris 💕 Taking a few days to escape, surround yourself with friends, and do what you love can bring so much joy into your life. ✨ Today, we **shopped till we dropped**—exploring all the vintage shops Paris has to offer. We found some absolute gems and snagged incredible bargains! 🛍️ The highlight of the day? **Indulging in the most divine hot chocolate at Angelina’s**. 🍫☕ Truly an unforgettable experience. Creating fabulous memories with my gals that will lift my mood whenever I need a pick-me-up back home. Here’s to more adventures, laughter, and treasured moments! 🥂❤️ #Paris #VintageShopping #Galentines #Besties #MemoriesForLife #TravelDiaries —
SAIRA on the go. 🚝🤍 No matter where you are, take time to stop, hydrate, reset and go. Our firming eye serum adds nourishment to the delicate eye area, and can be worn under and over makeup throughout the day 🥰 #skincare #naturalskincare #organicskincare #skincaretips #skincareroutine
Sign my E- Petition today! Please help me to create change and to protect CONSUMERS who buy personal care and cosmetics products from social media influencers. Consumers deserve to know what they are buying, especially when it comes to products that can impact their health and the environment. By requiring influencers to disclose the presence of microplastics in skincare and cosmetics products, we can ensure greater transparency and allow consumers to make better-informed decisions. This change will promote responsible consumption and help reduce the environmental and health impacts of microplastics. The link for the petition is in my Linktree on my bio -please share the petition amongst your family and friends. I don’t ever want to look back in my life and feel I did not speak up when I could have to protect people and the environment from the dangers of microplastics. This is not about taking work away from any social media influencer who operates in this industry -it’s about creating a more honest and authentic platform for influencers and consumers. We need 100,000 signatures for this to go to parliament – we can only but try and say we did our best to create change for good. Here’s the link https://chng.it/mhRbGHdx7C Thank you for your support in advance and if any media channel would like to support this petition please DM me . 🙏🏽
Embracing Adventure & Confidence at Any Age 🌟** As we grow older, it’s easy to get caught up in the routine of daily life and forget the importance of self-confidence, adventure, and putting ourselves forward. But every now and then, a little break from the grind reminds us of the beauty of “living life” and rejuvenates our spirit. I wanted to celebrate Galentine’s Day, so decided to go out and represent my love for the incredible women in my life. Self care and feeling good isn’t just about applying lotions and potions to your face; it’s about taking that self-care to boost your confidence and create adventures in your life. Our three-night getaway wasn’t about luxury or lavishness; it was about feeling alive and inspired by the cultures, people, and breathtaking sights we encountered. Our time together was a celebration of friendship, self-love, and the bonds that carry us through life. ✨ **Self-Confidence**: Embrace the person you’ve become. Each line, wrinkle, and experience is a testament to your journey. Show up for yourself, radiate confidence, and let your inner light shine. 🌍 **Sense of Adventure**: It doesn’t have to be extravagant or long. Even a short trip can provide a much-needed break and a chance to explore new horizons. Whether it’s a nearby town or a distant country, adventure awaits. ❤️ **Put Yourself Forward**: Take the plunge, book that trip, sign up for that class, or start that hobby you’ve always wanted to try. Celebrate you! Remember, self-care is not selfish; it’s essential. I hope you enjoyed coming along on our little Paris adventure, and that it inspires you to celebrate this Valentine’s Day by putting yourself first. Cherish your friendships and the special bonds that make life so beautiful. Here’s to many more adventures and to living life to its fullest! #SelfConfidence #AdventureAwaits #GalentinesDay #SelfLove #FriendshipGoals #TravelInspiration #LifeIsBeautiful #ad
