Two weeks ago I had no idea what padel was. Now, I’m ready to go pro 😝Padel is a fast-paced, but very fun, racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash, played in a glass-walled court. It’s always played as doubles, and there’s way more vibes and community feel (IMO) than tennis.Gonna write this one up for the blog, so if you’ve got any questions, drop ‘em in the comment below 👇🏾Massive thanks to James @rose_tennis_padel and @game4padel for the lesson 🎾📷: @getpivo Pivo Max #pivoPOV🏷️: #keepitsimpElle #PadelLife #GameOn #imgame4padel #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanessex padel for beginners

NGL, I’ve spent much of 2023 feeling stuck. But honestly, part of me knows that that’s just my mind talking, it’s a reflection of me not being at my best mentally… but I haven’t given up.Somehow my mind tries to convince me I haven’t achieved anything this year when I have. First of all, I’m still here. But I’ve worked super hard to find joy whilst working on my physical and mental health.Found this video in my camera roll from All Points East this Summer. Not long before that, I’d been watching TV and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I laughed. And it felt so good 🥺So I spent £7 on this two minute ride, to get that genuine feel good, belly laughter (and ALOT of screaming too lol) and it was the best (extortionate) £7 I could’ve spent.All this to say, don’t give into feeling stuck. Find moments of joy, even in the everyday.🏷️: #mentalhealth #blackgirljoy #SelfCare #womenshealth #hormoneimbalance #thyroidhealth #thyroidhealing #thyroid #hypothyroid #hypothyroidism

You prob don’t know, cos I haven’t told anyone other than @theurbanchallenger and my mum that I’m a huge fan of @wildrefill 🫶🏾 I’ve been using their deodorant since the start of this year in a bid to live that low tox life. After switching to an all natural deodorant, I switched toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and now with the launch of Wilds new body wash, that too!If you want try out any of the Wild products for yourself, you can use the code 2023ELLE which’ll give you 20% off everything on the site! 🔗: stories / b!0[body wash was gifted, all other products mentioned I purchased]🏷️: #bodycare #shower #showerproducts #natural #vegan #personalcare #refillable #eco #skincare #bodywash #showergel #showerroutine #skincareroutine #postworkout #hormoneimbalance #happyhormones #womenshealth

I’ve only got one requirement when shopping for

I’ve only got one requirement when shopping for clothes… “can I wear trainers with it…?!” 👀I realised recently that part of the reason I didn’t want to go anywhere was because I didn’t have anything to wear, which I felt comfortable in. Since the pandemic, I’ve lived in lycra and the few non-lycra items I had in my wardrobe don’t fit my body or my current taste and style 🥺So not too long ago, I booked myself a Personal Shopping appointment for inspiration and it worked. I bought a few key pieces (the blazer in this post) to team with pieces I already owned (& that still work for my body). Since then, I’ve enjoyed putting together outfits and feel more like me again 🥰From the chats in my stories when I shared about Personal Shopping and clothes that fit, I know I’m not the only one. Our bodies change, and trying to squeeze them into ill-fitting clothes aint good for our minds.So this is your sign to sell / give away / recycle those unwanted items and treat yourself to a few new pieces that make you feel ✨ GREAT ✨Get the outfit deets via the link in bio >> https://liketk.it/4lKtS🏷️ #ShopLTK #adidasoriginals #ltkeurope autumn outfit, oversized blazer, #HM ribcage jeans, adidas astir, chunky trainers, over 30 fashion

Yday was my first time at the Influencer Marketing

Yday was my first time at the Influencer Marketing Show 💫 tickets were free for Creators and I got a lil upgrade to a VIP Creator ticket for capturing some content from the day.The day started for me with a dash in the rain to the tube station and a train too packed for me to live my best tube girl life 🚇🤳🏾😝Can’t tell you how happy I was to see coffee carts - with proper espresso based coffee all over the venue, which were free for attendees.The speakers and schedule were like clockwork and the event was a great opportunity to meet brands, agencies and platforms in person. I stopped by @shop.LTK and @defysocial, got to network with some new to me people and even got to catch up with some familiar faces including @wonderlustinglynda and @gordon.glenisterThe venue WiFi gets a 3.5/5 for being decent, when it worked. And the app gets a solid 4/5 for being the most up to date information on what was happening and where 🙌🏾My fav session of the day had to be the panel hosted by Charlotte of @sevensixagency, alongside @jadebeason Chloe Downes of @weshft, @naomiesamarou of @on and Nicholas Arias of @hellofreshuk -inspired by my foodie friend @reneeeats_ I had to just say “Look Pon Di Panel” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #representationmattersIn fact, if it wasn’t for Charlotte, I, and I’m sure a lot of other Creators there on the day wouldn’t have known about the event. So Thank You SevenSix Agency for sharing in your newsletter!I left @influencershow with so many (deeper) thoughts I need to share about the Influencer world… 👀 ..and a few ideas on how IMS can be made even better for Creators next year.👗 details on my @shop.LTK of course#creatortips #contentcreator #contentcreatortips #LTK #IMSEUR23 #outfitoftheday #ltkeurope #InclusiveMarketing #Diversity @vivmayofficial #marketing #HM
