A letter to my younger ‘Dancing’ self
Dear Me! I'm now 35 and you're only 27. Â Looking to start dancing again, seeing it on the TV watching Strictly and wondering what you would be like now if you would have carried on dancing as a 7 year old in Manchester!

Dance competition makeup
I would say that I'm in a decent routine now and apply my makeup for competition days in pretty much the same way, perhaps varying the eyeshadow colour or using a different mascara but generally this is now my look.

Hairspray Recommendation!
Unpacking all of my makeup, jewellery and hair stuff from last weekend's competition, I realised that I had written a blog about makeup, one about the competition etc, but nothing about my hair. I have in the past been known to cover my hair in all kinds of gels, gel spray, oils, tons and tons … Continue reading Hairspray Recommendation!
