30 Days of Being Seen - Day 28!
Well… I’m not a quitter. 😂

I took a little wee break from my 30 Days of Being Seen project, but I’ve still got three days to go, and I’m finishing it.

The reality is, these last three are probably not going to be taken on my big camera. They’re going to be shot on my iPhone, selfie style.

I’ve been doing a photography course this month where most of the cameras being used are actually cell phones, so I’ve been playing around a lot more with creativity, angles and different ways of seeing an image.

We also have the homeschool photography competition, experimenting with the boys, and some seriously cool selfies from unusual viewpoints, and I’ve had plenty of inspiration to play with.

So here’s my little experiment with selfies from different angles and perspectives.

Day 28 done.
29 and 30 to go.

Let’s see how creative I can get with the iPhone tomorrow. 😜

🌱 3 × 3 SPRING RESET - WORKOUT

If you want results, you need consistency, and here’s the thing about consistency…

It has to be achievable.

I really want to simplify this.

Choose your three exercises. You can do the ones I’m doing, or choose your own three.

For me, I LOVE training lower body with weights, so I’m going to do what I enjoy because I know I’m much more likely to keep doing it.

But - I also need balance.

So I’ll finish with press-ups, and at the moment I’m working on my grip strength for aerial yoga, so I’ll add in things like bar hangs, hanging knee raises and scapular pulls.

If you’re always training upper body, bring some lower body work in. If you’re always training legs, make sure you’re giving your upper body some love too.

Balance matters.

The older I get, the more mindful I’ve become about how I train.

When I was younger, I could absolutely thrash my body and think that was the whole point.

These days?

I want my movement to be functional.
Enjoyable, achievable, and sustainable.

Because if you hate what you’re doing, or you’ve made your routine so difficult that it doesn’t fit into your life, you’re probably not going to keep doing it, and consistency is where the results come from.

So begin with the end in mind.

What do you actually want?

To feel strong?
Move better?
Build muscle?
Have more energy?
Stay mobile as you age?

Work backwards from there.

What are the actions that will get you there?
Then make those actions simple enough that you can actually repeat them.

My workout today.

🔥 10 Deep Squats
🔥 10 Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squats - each leg
🔥 10 Single-Leg Deadlifts - each leg

× 3 rounds

Then my finisher:

30 press-ups - on my knees.
Bar hang, knee raises, scapula pulls.

That’s it.

You don’t need the perfect plan, just a plan that you enjoy enough to keep doing.

Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you enjoy.
Find your balance.
Keep showing up.

Small actions. Consistently repeated. Big changes.

✨ BEFORE → ROUTINE → AFTER ✨

She didn’t just want “better hair.”

She wanted to feel good about her hair again.

BEFORE:
• Dandruff + an unhappy scalp
• Oily AND dry - WTF?! 😅
• Thinning hair + slow hair loss
• Dry, damaged, splitting ends
• Rough, crunchy, “horse hair” texture
• Hard to manage
• And, honestly… not feeling very confident

Then we focused on the health of the scalp AND the hair, not just masking the symptoms.

THE ROUTINE:
✨ A customised routine for her hair and scalp needs
✨ Consistency
✨ Nourishment
✨ Hydration
✨ Scalp care
✨ And giving it TIME to work

AFTER:
🤍 Soft
🤍 Silky
🤍 Shiny
🤍 Easy to manage
🤍 A more balanced-feeling scalp
🤍 Healthier-looking hair
🤍 No more dry, damaged ends

And the biggest transformation?

CONFIDENCE.

Because your hair isn’t just something you wash and style.

Your scalp is the foundation your hair grows from. When we look after the scalp and give the hair what it actually needs - moisture, nourishment, protection and the right cleansing routine, we can support healthier-looking hair from the roots through to the ends.

And there’s something about loving your hair again that makes you want to look after yourself again too.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it’s simply taking 10 minutes to wash your hair properly, massage your scalp, give your ends some love and actually enjoy the process.

Your hair is the crown you never take off. 👑

So… trust the process.

Your hair journey doesn’t have to look like someone else’s. Your routine should be customised to YOU.

Want to know what your hair actually needs?
