A blog to accompany my youtube channel that shows my cruise ship adventures, that is if I remember to update any of it!! x

Got me a meal planner in Poundland... I live the high life 😂 I’m such a sucker for cute stationary 😅🙈 Going to sit and plan a few weeks meals (whether I stick to them remains to be seen!) but at least I won’t have to decide what I’m cooking for lunch each day (even if I change the other bits!). In case anyone wanted to know, I don’t just use the @thebodycoach books but also the @jillianmichaels app to mix my meals up ☺️ #mealplanning #poundland #bargain #joewicks #healthy #stationary #effy https://www.instagram.com/p/CB56KjQg0DI/?igshid=f4iyquuti23v

So we can all agree 2020 is messed up, but I managed to spend the weekend ‘at’ @downloadfest and had a pretty damn good time! Good excuse for drinking strange cocktails and building an adult sized fort in our lounge- my mums idea (Feeling like blink-182 ... what’s my age again?!) 😂 we even camped in there for the Friday and Saturday night! Hopefully get to the real thing at some point, the only bonus this year was it was warm and there was no mud! #downloadfestival #downloadfestival2020 #festivalathome #insidecamping #blanketfort #2020substitutions (at Iron Acton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeFEM5gCFD/?igshid=1gltm74n7os2f

Pimms in the beautiful evening weather. As much as I’d love to be on a beach I’ve got a fair few things to look forward to now that lockdown lifting is on the horizon. More pimms is going to have to be one of added now though... #pimms #beachvibes #summerevenings #thankgodfortheweather #uk #heatwave #bbq #relaxing #lockdownperks https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvcNWQgsTx/?igshid=ro28txgscy35

When @paddiperkins gets herself involved in fandoms, I get roped in to do concept makeup on a band I can’t say I’ve ever listened to! Vibing @andtherattlesnakes (album cover at the end, doodle sheet after each look) not my best work but I’m not used to doing ‘inspired’ looks as such. #frankcarterandtherattlesnakes #makeup #thememakeup #music #musicinspired #musicinspiredmakeup #conceptmakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXzJT2gQ7H/?igshid=xj70a6jn3e1o

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Thought I’d do my hair and makeup 1940s style for a socially distant VE Day celebration we had on our village green. So lucky to be home in the English countryside during these times ♥️ we may be fighting a very different battle to back then, but we always need a little community ♥️ #hair #makeup #vintage #1940s #victoryrolls #veday75 #retroaesthetic (at Latteridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8L9QfA03e/?igshid=1c4o6vmuuhtju

Goals should come with rewards. Having that prize is what helps keep you motivated. Today I completed the first goal I set myself in a recent life planning session; finishing @jillianmichaels 30 day shred 🥳. Got to keep myself motivated 💪🏼 from here but for now enjoying my ‘boob and bum’ masks 😂 (honestly, whatever will they think of next?!). I’d also like to take now to thank @carysandersson for all the time and effort she has spent with me since I’ve known her - she’s the reason I look at fitness a lot more positively and has taught me health progress rewards should not be food based 🙈😅♥️ (and if you’ve read this far - swipe for a sweaty close up selfie of me and mum after foam rolling post workout!) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Nm5oDgewB/?igshid=3pd4suvq27je

Got nobody to buy me flowers, so I got some for my damn self! I know it’s not an essential, but I was on the food shop and these just jumped out as a perk up buy ☺️ I often find I treat myself with food, which isn’t a healthy concept! As as hay fever is keeping me from the garden and lockdown from the rest of the world - I wanted a little nature in my life! 🌹 . . . #roses🌹 #selfcare #perkupbuy #treatyoself #flowers #spring #lockdownlife #whoneedsaboyfriend #loveyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DdKe_AZKc/?igshid=1xet9tpv2xu8f

Happy Easter 🐣 Stay safe. Stay home. I’ve used my time to bake some Easter treats (I took the 20 out of my age to make the rice crispy treats!!) 🧁🎂😋 (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zkuHcgwOy/?igshid=792es8gxh1kp

🧖🏼‍♀️💅🏼🧘🏻‍♀️ Today was our half way in a 30 day program me and mum promised ourselves to stick to whilst in isolation. We decided to make the half way a rest day and I truly took that to heart by renovating/ pampering myself! Turned out it was just what I needed. I’ve been distracting myself by staying busy to the point that I actually forgot to rest 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-k1a5wg9fL/?igshid=eldd0bczch98

The Caribbean is feels a lot like home now 😂😅 Thankful for a great beach day to make me reverse the first experience I had of Antigua. On my last cruise of the contract and feeling much healthier than when it began, who even does that onboard?!?! Will be glad for my vacation in four days time but enjoying my last little bit of the Caribbean 🏝⚓️🛳 #cruiselife🚢 #Antigua #beach #crewmember #fullbody #confidencegrowing #bikini #palmtrees #caribbean #postbox #homecomforts #nearlyvacation (at Dickenson Beach Antigua) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nAyi2AVxT/?igshid=fp1fai1188jd

I definitely ♥️ you Aruba Ship birthdays always seem to have the best vibe. Maybe it the places I’m lucky enough to visit on the day, maybe it’s there’s always someone to celebrate with, or just a beautiful combination of the two. Thank you to all who have celebrated with me this year ♥️🥳 and a big thank you to the gang who took me out for Dutch savoury pancakes 🥞 this morning 😘 (at Oranjestad, Aruba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SwodZgIHE/?igshid=j7n50cbbahto

Two cruises left!! I didn’t really take photos this past cruise so here’s a selfie from formal night 😅 20 days then my mama bear is out in the states for a week in north Florida/ Disney ✨ while I still love my job, the itinerary etc I’m looking forward to local leave and a bit of the uk for a short while. (Whoever thought I’d say that?!) ALSO.... ITS MY BIRTHDAY CRUISE 🥳 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_rtvsg1gC/?igshid=gcglpz1hc0u3

A similar hairstyle, the exact same dress, complete difference in body shape and internal thought processes. Reminders have been popping up all over the place about growth and progression for me lately- I thought I’d share one of these moments that I feel hit me and set that ball rolling. First selfie is backstage last night for an acting based game show, second compilation is me at my year 11 prom featuring a version of me that would’ve never dreamed I’d end up in what I do now!! 🙈 #growth #selflove #progression #learninglife #makingitupasigoalong #nowherenearperfect https://www.instagram.com/p/B8nV-CeAvNQ/?igshid=119g3gfygb3mf

The main reason I love this job is for the experiences I get offered. Yesterday I was able to be present and steward a successful attempt at breaking a Guinness world record- the largest vow renewal. Among the Regal, Royal and us here on the Crown we smashed it with 1452 couples taking part! 😍 No small feat organising so many people and three ships simultaneously!!definitely a #princessproud moment! #princesscruises #guinessworldrecord #cruiselife🚢 #vowrenewalceremony #roses #captain #newrecord #smashedit (at Crown Princess) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ejOJtJIUZ/?igshid=10h357s259gmg

A solo chill day before NFL Super Bowl 🏟 madness later onboard. Finally made it to paradise point and had my first ever “bushwacker” which is like a Caribbean Long Island ice tea (purely based on amount of alcohol, not ingredients!) 😂 Super gorgeous views up here, next time I may brave the hike in the heat 🥵 #stthomasvirginislands #bushwacker #chillday😎 #cruiseshiplife #cruiseshipcrew #paradisepoint #cablecar #caribbean #thingstodoinstthomas (at Paradise Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8EfStzgVJ1/?igshid=ulq307w6x17l
