OMG what an amazing and unexpected pamper at the new at 15 Camden Road.

Absolutely FAB to find a nail salon open on A SUNDAY!!!!

It’s often the only day in the week I can come and the only ‘me time’ treat I have so - happy days!

I’ve been given sweets, crisps, cherry coke (my fave) and in the comfiest massage chair ever.

They do acrylics, BIAB and gel plus many more …

Tell your friends (but not too many as I want to be able to get an appointment ..🤣!) 🤣🤣🤣

What a lovely surprise on an Easter Sunday - hope you’re having smiles today,

Chrissie xx

‘Mum, you’re so embarrassing’… yep, that’s my job babes… (She was lucky, I could have really leaned into the embarrassing mother vibe…)…

Best time ever in Paris last week drinking in the culture, walking 20,000 steps/day and still so much more to see - I just love it there so much and I love Parisians, always up for a laugh (whether they were laughing at me is another matter …but just go with me here…) …

I am sooooooo lucky to know Yin yoga otherwise my legs, knees, feet would have seized up but nourishing my calves, IT band and hips whilst flushing the lymph around really did do me the world of good each night to get ready for more adventures the next day.

Happy Easter weekend one and all! Wishing you adventures and smiles, Chrissie xx

Such a beautiful experience with yesterday at her women’s daily retreat, reconnecting with the maiden in us all and making her feel safe and seen again (that’s me at 14 in that photo!).

I reflected that as I get older I need to have people around me who make me feel safe, seen and stable. Needing to be loved and accepted for my whole self not to just present the side that makes people at ease with how they treat me if they are treating me badly. And I still have let that happen and it makes me feel vulnerable to say it - 44 years and I’ve finally got there 🙏🏻, I crave safety in connection and not instability and it is not selfish to pursue the good one over the other.

Life is an ongoing learning process isn’t it, I hold the parts of me that got it wrong, trusted too quickly and loved too easily, forgave and went back instead of forgiving and moving on, blessed to be given the chance to grow and love. Grateful to be here and to share the world with you lovely human souls,

Gentle hugs to you today. I had a migraine attack yesterday so lying in bed resting whilst I recalibrate.

Have a peaceful day,

Chrissie xx

And sometimes, you just need to have a cuddle with your favourite write. Ernest has inspired my travel destinations and took me into many different worlds, he’s never not honest and never uses a long word when a short one will do.

I have my favourite books on a shelf opposite my bed so I can look at them before I go to sleep:

“There is no friend as loyal as a book” - Ernest Hemingway

I hope you have things dotted around the comfort you, so grateful for the little things, they can encapsulate such big feelings ❤️

Lots of hugs, Chrissie xx

Wow.

What an incredible way to start half term seeing the Marie Antoinette exhibition at the V&A.

It was full of beauty and gut wrenching sadness at the same time. They didn’t shy away from the reality of the time and her life.

A lot of thinking and reflection to be had … but that’s the point of gallerie and museums right?

Art is more powerful and necessary than ever, plays, books, fiction, manga, art, satirical works and more … AI can’t compete. Keep creating.

Have a great evening glorious humans of planet earth,

Kisses

We went to the Versace Exhibition last summer, it was great but also made me so sad … it reminded me of just how skinny all the women were meant to be in the 90s, I mean the waist on all the clothes wouldn’t fit over my right b**b!!

Some people are naturally that size and are gorgeous but blumin ‘eck … what on earth was going on? We had to be so frail and weak and to not take up any space at all …. wanted to get in a Time Machine and go hug us all ….

I got down to a size 4 and people complimented me, I felt successful, when my dress size rose from that I felt a failure.

I am naturally a curvy girl so it just didn’t suit me at all and when I look at photos of me just ten years ago it reminds me how far I’ve come. I love the softness of my body, my tummy forever changed by pregnancy is beautiful and now makes me smile, it is like my soul has relaxed and I have finally found peace with myself.

It felt good to walk around the exhibition as I am now - it felt like a finger up to the trend setters then, women, you are beautiful, just the way you are - dance and be proud, you’ve achieved a lot and we keep moving forward.

And well done to this generation for out growing that hyper control by the media of our bodies, women in generations above you are proud of you ❤️.

… it’s frankly no one’s business what our bodies are doing …

Have a great rest of the Sunday,

Love you loads

It’s that time of year to luxuriate in love ❤️, so here is a love letter to my younger self, Bhakti Yoga in Motion ❤️

Dear younger me (and maybe yours too),

You didn’t love too much.
You loved with hope.

You weren’t naive — you were open.
You weren’t weak — you were tender in a world that rewards armour.

Love was never meant to feel like constant effort, anxiety, or waiting to be chosen.
Real love has room to breathe. It lets you rest.

You don’t have to earn love by being patient, understanding, or endlessly forgiving.
You are allowed to need reassurance.
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to change your mind.

Some people were meant to love you for a season, not a lifetime.
That doesn’t make the love false — just finite.

One day, calm will feel romantic.
Kindness will feel intoxicating.
Choosing yourself will feel natural, not selfish.

If your heart has been bruised, hold it gently.
You were never broken — only learning.

You are not behind.
You are not too much.
You are right on time.

With love,
Me ❤️

Hey Chaps - seriously, this is my heaven, no work tomorrow, lazy morning and some peaceful ‘Chrissie’ time.

I know how to show myself a good time ….

My current book is ‘The Art of Loving’ by Erich Fromm, ‘Love is an art, which we need to develop and practise in order to find true contentment. We need to find it, individually and as a society as a whole’.

‘He discusses every aspect of the subject: romantic love, the love of parents for children, erotic love, self love and the love of G-d or the Divine’.

It fills my heart ❤️…

Right, tea break, stretch, some Yin then some more reading - rock n roll …. X

Happy 2026 Everyone 💜

I hope you have moments of joy like this moment of mine dancing with my Uncle Matt, who sadly passed away last year but that cuddle and giggles shared will last forever in my heart.

The glimmers are little gifts from the universe, hold them tight!
