MY SENSITIVE SKIN NON-NEGOTIABLES

Jun 14, 2025

I've mentioned it so often, but in case you are new around here - My name is Gemma, and at the ripe old age of 38 I got perioral dermatitis. It's a pretty common skin condition that causes angry, red, scaly inflammation around my mouth. (sounds sexy!) Over the years...

GIRLS TRIP PACKING IDEAS

The Girls Trip is finally making it out of the group chat. I'm in a bit of shock and can't believe it's actually happening but I'm off to Portugal at the end of this month with three friends to celebrate our 40th's - and we actually got our act together. Here's what...

I struggle with fast fashion and try SO hard not to buy it or wear it, but sometimes bits creep in and I find it hard to resist. I know I'll wear it loads 🙏🏻 Let me know what you think ❤️

My baby 💙 is seven. My Alpha. My human paradox; tiny action man, duracell bunny, social butterfly, grey hair giver yet also the king of snuggles, great with old people and his happy place is sat gently cuddling babies.

We’ve been sharing a bedroom for the last three months, and without fail at 4am every morning he gets into my (single) mattress (on the floor) and cuddles me. Cute. A bit squished, a bit cute. Forever my baby but he’s not really anymore is he….?

Lots of you have been here since before he was born. I obviously spent last night looking at pictures of birthdays gone by. This feels like the middle mothering sweet spot? Out of the early, exhausting & all encompassing stage where they rely on us for every tiny thing while not at the teen angsty drama stage yet. Where we can fully enjoy it. I’m making a mental note to embrace it 🤍

A whirlwind of a week, our 2010 selves would've never thought that we'd want to award husband of the year to Speidi in 2025.

ad | Want to know the best anti aging trick? Here it is 👆🏻🫧

It doesn’t matter how expensive your serum is, or how viral it went on the internet; if you aren’t properly cleansing then anything you apply can’t do your job properly.

We’ve both been trialling @beautypie Happy Face De-stress Jelly Cleanser for the last six weeks. Actually. Pet-peeve: when people say they have been but have only used it once. Check our stories to see when we first got it. It works for both of us - and our different skin types. And it’s £12 for members!!!!

Let's just preface this with:

These work for me, I've done some research over the months and they all sound like they could only have a positive impact on life, but as with everything it's always worth doing your own research ✨

My youngest has been diagnosed with a chronic condition, and I don't have control over a lot of what may happen in our future but I can do the best I can with what I am in control of which is where no 2 and no 3 come into play.

Ok let's go!

1. Splashing my face with water 30 times: So far I can only get up to 12 times without feeling like my fingers will freeze off but it clears my head, can support your nervous system, is an instant mood booster, I saw @michaellabolder do it and she knows her stuff so it must be good!

2. Ditching the plastic tupperware: There is lots out of research out there about how chemicals from the plastic can leach into food, especially when it heated, and the chemicals can damage our health. I've also ditched plastic chopping boards & kitchen utensils for wood or metal.

3. Plant based cleaning products: Better for the environment, reduces indoor pollution that we breathe in, safer around kids and doesn't irritate skin. At the moment I'm using @marksandspencer laundry liquid, @miniml washing up liquid (I buy in bulk & decant) and @methoduk antibac surface cleaner.
minimling you'd add to this list?
