Millennial women have the lowest body confidence of *any* generation, new research by @Dove Beauty & Personal Care shows. And is it any wonder considering the toxic language and phrases we grew up with? AD The media’s obsession with size zero, thigh gaps and muffin tops left a lasting mark. But now, we get to unlearn all that – and rewrite the story for us and the next generation. That’s why Dove has launched the #WeightOfWords campaign – with tools, resources, and a brand new podcast series, Dove Y2K?. It’s all about helping us build self-esteem so we can finally leave the toxic beauty talk where it belongs…in the past. I’ve popped a link to the new podcast series in my stories 😘 #DovePartner

Right, time to get organised for baby 👶🍼 ad I popped into @Tesco this week to check out their Baby & Toddler Event and was genuinely really impressed with the offers they had on and the value for money. On a personal level it was also surreal (and a little bit emotional) picking up these bits and organising the nappy caddy – something I’ve waited a really long time for 🥹 If you’re expecting or have little ones, definitely check out the Clubcard offers they have in store as there are some real bargains to have! #tesco

Holiday try-on with @Next 🤩 (ad) Let me know your favs 👇

ad Not sure what to wear this summer? Try these 🫶 I have to say @simplybeuk are absolutely smashing it lately with their retro T’s and gorgeous prints. I really loved these looks! Shop them all in my stories on IG. Oh and don’t forget to let me know your fav in the comments 👇

Because there’s only one type of body we see online, and it’s hard to know what clothes will actually look like on your plus size body… Everything is linked in my LTK (link in bio) #plussizefashion #plussize #plussizestyle #summerfashion

Did you know @John Lewis offer free nursery advice appointments? They cover everything from prams and car seats to baby monitors, breast pumps, and sleep tips. Genuinely loved ours - it was relaxed, helpful and we left feeling so much more in the know. Can't recommend it enough if you're expecting or know someone who is! The appointments are free but marking as ad/pr invite as we were invited to go along. #MyJohnLewis #NurseryAdvice #BabyOnTheWay #FirstTimeParents #BabyShopping

ad I’m all about prioritising realistic self-care. And a big part of that, for me, is keeping my skin moisturised. I’ve been using the new @NIVEA UK Q10 Firming & Energising Body Serum-Lotion morning and night for the past month and I love it. Not only does it smell *incredible*. It's really energising and dries at lightning speed so I can get on with my day. It also promises firmer skin in just 7 days 🫶now available at @Superdrug #FeelSkincredible

Wait ‘til you see the dress at the end 🫣
