It's the end of an era ❤️😭 New hair loading... #redhair #redblackhair #hairtransformation

Bye bye 17 years of bleached hair 🫣 #hairtransformation #transition #backtoblack #hairdye

How has it been 7 weeks already?! It's wild that you start to forget what your body felt like having a baby bump and being pregnant, it starts to become a distant memory. I still can't believe baby bear grew inside of me and now he's actually here, growing and changing day by day! It's pure magic ✨ I am so blessed! #pregnancy #postpartum #7weeksold #babybump #babybear

I do love blonde hair on me though ✨ #sunmoontrend #blondehair #redhair

Replying to @Julie F Makeup entering a new hair era 😬🖤 Entering a new hair era 🫣 After 17 years of bleached hair, she's back to her roots! Sad to leave the red hair behind, but I'm kinda digging the dark! I've struggled to maintain my bleached hair towards the end of pregnancy and since becoming a new mum. So opting for an all over dark colour = low maintenance and it doesn't put as much stress on my postpartum hair. I've already started to plan how I'm going to bring some colour back 🤣 but for the meantime she's entered her dark haired era 🖤 #hairdye #blackhair #hairtransformation #bleachhair #postpartumhair #blackhairdye

7th May ✨ It was exactly a year ago today I found out that my whole world was going to change. Motherhood was something I didn't even know that I wanted. I just knew it was meant for me and I welcomed it into my life. And I'm so glad I did. Yes it's one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, but my gosh, the love that this little human has brought into my life is nothing I could have ever imagined feeling. I am so blessed I was chosen to be his mama bear 🐻 #pregnancy #thenvsnow #firsttimemom

Brb just crying 😭 I can't believe it's been a year since my solo trip to LA where I felt this deep sense of clarity that I was to become a mum. I couldn't explain it, but I just 'knew' it was in my path. I didn't know when it was going to happen, but I could visualise and feel it. Fast forward to today and here I am being a mum to my baby bear 🐻 It's crazy how much your life can change in a year! Usually right now I'd be planning my Coachella festival outfits and packing my suitcase ready to head to LA. Instead I'm changing nappies, having snuggles with my baby and playing with them everyday. I'm not gonna lie, I'm definitely getting fomo from missing my first festival of the year that I usually attend. However I'm so grateful for this new journey I'm on and I know I'll be getting festival'd up again at some point in the future. #reflection #HealingJourney #firsttimemum

Replying to @Carly a few secrets to my haircare routine 🩷 #hairroutine #haircare #hairmasks #k18 #hairoiling #scalpcare

I truly didn’t anticipate how mentally demanding motherhood would be. It's challenged me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. And admitting that I’m struggling isn’t easy. I think many mums would relate to how hard it is to say those words out loud. I feel incredibly blessed to have Björn in my life. The love I have for him is overwhelming, and watching him grow brings me so much joy. That’s what makes the struggle feel even heavier - there’s guilt in finding this hard when I know how lucky I am, and especially when I know others may be facing even more difficult circumstances. But the truth is, every experience is relative, and right now, I am finding it hard. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way, even though at times it does feel lonely. Struggling while the world outside seems to keep moving forward. I try to remind myself that these feelings are temporary and to be present & cherish every precious moment with Björn as I know how quickly time passes. All I know is that I'm doing my best as a new mum, and that's all that matters. This journey has shown me just how deeply selfless I can be. No matter how I’m feeling inside, I keep getting up, taking a breath, and moving forward for Björn. Motherhood is really showing me that true strength isn’t about always feeling okay and having it altogether. It’s in the quiet moments when I choose to keep going even though I'm exhausted, overwhelmed or filled with doubt. It’s in the way I show up for Björn, even when I feel like I have nothing left to give. It's in the deep breaths, the late night cuddles, the tears wiped away in silence. Being strong doesn’t mean never struggling. It means continuing to love, give and show up, even when it’s hard. Mums, I see you ❤️ And I am sending so much love and light to each and every one of you

Postpartum body update 🤰🏼 3 weeks postpartum vs 11 weeks postpartum. I wanted to share another update because even though on the most part I'm pretty content with my new body, I definitely struggled with how a 'postpartum body should look each week of recovery'. I found myself on here and TikTok searching for other women's bodies at each weekly mark and whether I was recovering the same. This I found difficult as I couldn't see anyone still with their squishy pregnancy belly. So many women seemed to have 'bounced back' - I actually really dislike this term... We grow a tiny human inside of us and are expected to look how we did before?! How is that even possible when our bodies change so much to accommodate a baby. It took me some time to realise that every woman's recovery after birth is unique to them. Their body, unique to them. Some women might look like how they did before. Some might not. And all of that is ok and normal! Each of us are on our own postpartum journey to recovery and that will look different for every woman. I myself have chosen to take things slow with my body. To be honest I still haven't healed properly down there 👇🏼 so the only exercise I've been doing is daily pram walks. I will be introducing some gentle exercises soon for my pelvic floor & core as I know this can really help, but mentally right now I'm not ready for that next step. A little reminder to be kind to yourself. Take it day by day and don't put pressure or a time frame on your recovery ❤️‍🩹 It can be so easy to compare to what you looked and felt like before, but remember we have transformed into mothers ✨ this is the start of a whole new journey!
