Saw the Les Mis 40th anniversary arena tour last night at the Royal Albert Hall. Properly sobbed at Bradley Jaden's performance of Javert's Soliloquy. The performance of a lifetime - just incredible 😭
I was once told I looked like a pre-raphaelite model 😂 For context...this is what they look like... 🫠
An #agentsguide to TWS (full name withheld on socials due to entered competition rules 😭) 💅 Family Secrets 🩶 Generational trauma & legacy 💫 Unlikely redemption arc 🤝Loyalty tested by ideology & war #historicalfiction #querying #familysaga #pitch #query #agentsguide
I'm going back to Disney World next May and I am literally so excited I cannot cope 😭😍🙈 fully leaning into my Millenial Disney adult era 😂
I know there's a lot of SEO chatter about publishers losing traffic to AI...but my traffic has actually grown. I've gone from around 200 clicks per day to 800 clicks per day in the past 12 months, and my Grow by Mediavine payments have gone from $143 per month to over $400.
I've been back from Australia for less than a week and I already miss it so much 😭 I need WARMTH.
I landed in Sydney yesterday and literally went straight from the airport to my hairdresser to get my colour done 😆 Mr O is hands down the best colourist I've ever been to. He's like a magician.
The reality of having PoTS. Lovely relaxing bath, and then as soon as I stood up to get out my heart rate skyrocketed instantly from 111bpm to 167bpm 🙃🤦🏼♀️ That's a HR increase of 56bpm 😩
I did it 😭😭😭 it's taken me almost six years, but I've finally hit 90,000 words of my first draft!! (Just a couple of loose ends to tie up before it's finished and I can start the first round of edits next month)
Also just wanted to share a photo of us together 🫶 when he treated me to a night seeing The Nutcracker in Australia 8 years ago, because I was missing London and an English Christmas.
What's the most breathtaking place you've ever visited? Because for me it was Montana. Like I actually thought I was in Heaven for a minute.
My dog has a wonky lower lip from where he was bitten by a golden retriever last year and he tore his lip...but ngl, it's legit the cutest thing 😭
I lost a huge amount of traffic and rankings when I migrated at the eend of 2020, but I've slowly managed to build it back up and I'm so proud of what I've achieved 🙏🏼 My traffic and rankings is still nowhere near what it was in 2016 before I first migrated to https, but I'm getting there!
My cousin posted this comment on my latest LinkedIn post and I'm pretty sure people are gonna see it and my response and be like 'that's awkward', without knowing the relationship we have 🤣🙈
Will we ever see another Christina Rossetti again? 😩😭 #poetry #poetrylovers
Also a fun fact, but about ten years ago I saw a guy propose to his girlfriend by this tree, and it was so cute I always wanted to be proposed to like that. Then three years ago my ex broke up with me by this tree a few weeks before Christmas and now it's ruined for me 😂😭😩
Sorry but London at Christmas is pure magic. luxlifelondon.com/london-chris...
It's so satisfying seeing graphs like this 🥹 Two years on and this is what my content marketing strategy over the past two years has achieved. It's also driven a crazy uplift in revenue, but I can't share that info publicly ofc.
Will never stop being obsessed with the way my dog wakes up from a nap looking like this 💀
Breakfast I fear will never be the same after this experience at Bovey Castle last week.
I've had the most wholesome evening tonight at the Chelsea Christmas lights switch-on! Mulled wine, Christmas music, musicians, friends, and a good ole pub. Lovely.
Completely obsessed with Michael Barrymore and his dog Luna on TikTok. Peak wholesome content! www.tiktok.com/@themichaelb...
It's a good job he's cute. But I'm not thrilled about having to deal with a dead rat, AND brush this little man's teeth and bathe him before 9am on a Saturday morning.
I need you all to see this sunrise from my room at Bovey Castle in Devon. Is this a dream?
Just casually being attacked with love from Frank. I'll allow it though.
