What pregnancy actually taught me…
Women are incredible.
What the body does, what it goes through…

Ralph 🩵. My little blueberry.

And so worth the wait 🩵

My first Mother’s Day, and I’m thinking about every kind of Mum.

Today

I celebrate how lucky I feel to be a Mum.

I am grateful beyond words for my own Mum.

I send hope to anyone wanting and waiting to be a Mum.

I send love to anyone who is missing a Mum.

I think of all the Mums who hold their children in their hearts not their arms.

I wish for better for all the Mums in difficult circumstances.

Where I think social media is heading in 2026 — from someone with a background in digital marketing.

In an era of stretched pockets, value has become fashionable again.

Slide 1 — Educational content is the flex now
• With incomes being stretched more than ever, people don’t want fluff — they want value.
• Educational content is winning because audiences are more selective with their time.
• Useful, insightful, or genuinely honest content is what people choose to follow now.

Slide 2 — The luxury aesthetic is starting to dip
• The shift is already happening — experiences are being prioritised over products, with Hermès handbags once in constant demand now being resold.
• Overly polished, aspirational content feels less relatable than it used to.
• Relatability and realism are becoming more aspirational than perfection.

Slide 3 — Storytelling is becoming more important than aesthetics
• Pretty content might stop the scroll, but stories build connection.
• Audiences want context, growth, and real narratives — not just highlight reels.
• Storytelling is what keeps people invested long-term.

Slide 4 — Quiet marketing is on the rise
• Less “buy this now” and more products naturally existing in everyday life.
• Audiences trust what feels lived-in, not aggressively sold.
• Subtlety is converting better than hard selling.

Slide 5 — More content isn’t better anymore
• Audiences are overwhelmed by volume and constant posting.
• Fewer, more thoughtful posts are becoming more save-worthy and shareable.
• Quality, intention, and clarity are beating quantity again.

I’ll be honest — I haven’t always been able to show up like this while working full-time / pregnant.
But this is the direction I’m intentionally moving toward in 2026.
Less noise, more substance.

Let’s decorate – it’s all about the golds this Christmas 2025. I used simple gift-wrap ribbon, but any colour works its magic. #Christmastree 🎄✨

#pregnancylife

Wasn’t planning on having a baby shower, but kept it casual and chilled at home, surrounded by some of my closest ladies from friends and family 💕
Feeling incredibly grateful for the love, laughter, and support — my heart is so full 💙
Huge shout-out to @___svw for travelling all the way from up North & absolutely smashing the decorations 🤍 and to my sister for delicious food 😍. Our baby is already so loved 🩵🫶🏽

What I wish someone told me about money sooner… Growing up, money always felt tight — and no one taught me how it really worked. Here’s what I’ve learned (and what I wish every girl knew earlier).
 S&P 500 = the hot girl of investing If and when you’re able, start investing — even small amounts matter. Look into a Stocks & Shares ISA (UK) or Roth IRA (US). Let it grow while you live your best life. Long-term wealth = passive, not panicked

Control your money, romanticize your life Track your money like it’s a new season drop Use a budgeting app (Snoop - link in bio, Emma, YNAB)
— or a spreadsheet if you’re all about that organized life
 Credit cards = the smart girls use it as a power tool (not a plaything)
* Use for points + build credit
* Not for panic-buying at 2am
* Pay in full every month. Always.
* Those points? Magic.
* Flights, hotels, brunch = basically free
100k Amex points up for grabs! Hit the link in bio to sign up. #AmexPerks.
 3 books I wish were on the school syllabus:
* I Will Teach You To Be Rich
* Get Good With Money
* The Psychology of Money
* Your Money or Your Life
* Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Property advice: I wrote a whole blog post on this thewongblog.com

Bonus money tips:
Automate your savings
Emergency fund = soft life security
Didn’t grow up with money? Same. I’ve never mentioned that on here — felt like it was time. No shame in figuring it out as you go. I’m trying a series of these so let me know you have any to share!

When nothing fits and everything needs to be loose… you lean into it. Maternity outfits I’ve been wearing in and out of the house — comfort first, style still trying her best 😅. Merry Christmas 🎄🤍

Just standing here pretending I’m in a perfume advert…and quietly questioning whether I really need a whole gender reveal or if I should just let my wardrobe do the talking. #babymoon

In my peaceful, no-drama era. 🌊🩵🤰🏻

Soaking up the calm before our biggest adventure begins.

POV: 35+ teen mom

When I was thinking about how to announce my pregnancy, I wanted to share it in a way that felt joyful but still considerate — because I know it can be tricky when your feed is suddenly full of bumps and baby scans while you’re navigating a path. Whether that’s fertility struggles, loss, being in the wrong relationship, waiting to meet your person, or just happily living your best non-parent life. 💛

We always knew we wanted a child, but it’s wild how many different seasons we move through as women — wanting it, not sure yet, waiting, hoping, healing. Whatever stage you’re in, I see you. 💛

Even though life’s about to change, I’ll try & not suddenly make ‘mum’ my entire personality — still firmly in lifestyle content era, just with a plus one. ☁️

If you’re a content creator in your “this is so cringey” era — keep going. Your “how did I get here?!” moment is closer than you think.

We were invited to watch a football match in an executive box 🏟️⚽️ — wild, because back at uni I used to work as a waitress / bartender in London football clubs like @arsenal. Full circle moment 🥹. @SobhaRealty #TheArtofDetail hospitality was incredible — such a special experience.

What I wore to stay warm outside (everything has to be stretchy AF these days 🤰🏻):
@UniqloEurope “football-manager” coat 🤣 — aka the seamless down
@UniqloEurope brown stretchy wool trousers
@ThisIsWhistles black Rosa top

On the menu:
Avocado burrata salad, saffron risotto, chicken dumplings, salmon fillet, gunpowder potatoes, Thai green curry — and the dreamiest mini desserts (lemon meringue, passionfruit choux & sticky toffee trifle).
Half time:
Popcorn, crisps & hummus, pretzels, dates.

Baby’s first press feature 🍼📰 Thank you to everyone (and some baby brands!) who’ve already shown us so much love 🥹💕. #pregnancyannouncementideas

I’ve been hibernating 👀 Our greatest adventure yet… 🎈 Baby loading Jan 2026 🩵

It’s Monday - let’s goooo! It’s #CleaningReset time and I’m teaming up with @hoovermyhome to show you their Hoover 4-in-1 Corded Handheld Mattress Vacuum —and yes, it’s as cute as it is effective! I haven’t even had @simbasleep mattress that long and just *look* at the dust it pulled up...It uses UV light to kill bacteria and even helps with bed bugs-so satisfying. I’m also @purdyandfigg spray in scent: grounding tetiver —perfect for a clean finish. #homebodylife @hoover_uk

Facts that don’t match my appearance

1. I have a nerdy side, I started playing console games when I was 4. I grew up on the Nintendo SNES, and my first game was Street Fighter. Chun-Li was my inspiration—strong, fearless, and pulling off high kicks. That stuck with me..

2. My music taste is pure chaos.
I went to R&B nights and indie clubs. These days, I rotate between pop bangers, Linkin Park throwbacks, and the occasional classical moment—usually while blasting millennial club music in my AirPods and replying to corporate emails like it’s war prep.

3. I didn’t grow up with money.
Council house kid who didn’t know people went on ski seasons or owned butter dishes and Aga ovens until uni. But it gave me grit. My real accent is quite a harsh Mancunian one 😉. I’m still a bit chavy on the inside—but I clean up well.

4. I swear. A lot.
Not because I’m unpolished—it just throws people off.

5. I’m introverted.
People think I’m outgoing because I’m on social media. But really? I’m pretty introverted. I just know how to turn it on when I need to. Comes with being an actress.

6. I never meant to be a content creator.
I just kept showing up—and now here we are: mutually confused, yet fully committed.

7. I’m still obsessed with cute things.
Hello Kitty, Pusheen, Cinnamoroll—I’m still obsessed. Cute things give me childhood flashbacks and I’m wildly nostalgic. I think it’s crazy that as a millennial we were the last generation to see technology change so much in the last 10 years.

I don’t fit neatly into a niche on social media—because I genuinely love too many things to pick just one.

You don’t have to make sense to everyone. You just have to be real.

What are facts that don’t match your appearance? ❤️

Glow-Up Tips I Learned from the #CleanGirl & #SelfCare TikTok Trends ✨ (from someone who wasn’t considered confident growing up—proof in the last pic 👀)

1. Face – Korean skincare is the secret. Double cleanse (hands only—ditch makeup wipes!) and wear SPF daily. Consistency = glow.

2. Hair – Brush, massage, and oil post-wash. Skip cheap shampoos—Kérastase or Ouai will change your hair.

3. Body – No gym? Walk 10k steps daily. Gym? 3x cardio + 2x yoga/Pilates a week.

4. Hygiene – Brush teeth for 2 mins minimum (obvs twice a day), visit dentist every 6m’s (oral hygiene is so important, having bad teeth can really affect confidence), exfoliate, and clean your makeup brushes—dirty brushes = breakouts.

5. Style – Manicured nails = confidence. Capsule wardrobe: smart coat, black/white tees, tailored trousers, perfect jeans + statement accessories.

6. Food – Japanese diet + homemade tacos on repeat.

Start small & consistency is everything! 💫 #GlowUp #SelfCare #pinterestaesthetic

I didn’t know how dirty my arm was until I used the Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum. It’s now part of my #everythingshower routine.

I use the Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion to cleanse the skin (look at the texture of the product 😍) and finished it off with Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion to soften.

I make my smoothies with
