*Finally* I can share my most incredible news. My debut novel SINGLE BALD FEMALE will be published in Spring 2022 with @panmacmillan in the UK and @harpercollinsde in Germany. 🥳

My friend @eleanorfmross102 has written a brilliant book about the constant strive for perfection and what happens when you decide it's okay to be 'good enough'. I spent the whole of my 20s thinking I had to do everything - be the first in and last out of the office, run the marathon, use up every second of my annual leave by going straight to the airport from work and then catching the red eye back instead of scheduling in some rest. The result was a cancer diagnosis six weeks before my 30th birthday, which literally forced me to slow down. I wouldn't say I've stopped striving for perfection in my 30s - my ambition has got stronger in some ways - but I have 100% learned to take care of myself and say no to projects and parties when I know my body needs rest.

Work in progress... 2020 was a year of learning new skills, one of which was teaching myself to paint and trying to zhush up my kitchen, with mixed results. (Swipe for before pic). I channelled the amazing @storiesof_home and painted over my existing cupboard doors with @littlegreenepaintcompany's Aquamarine Deep – the results are nowhere near as gorgeous but considering I only spent about £250, I don't think it looks too bad. Then I replaced the handles and ditched the manky carpet for new flooring. Now I'm looking for a kitchen island – any thoughts on what might look good in this small space?
