I’m the dog-obsessed editor of Happiful – sorry for hounding you with
pictures of pups! Outside of work, I can normally be found in the gym
watching Killing Eve to feel like a badass, bingeing on a good box set, or
getting out for walks around Virginia Water, with a quick pit-stop at a pubFrom my favourite book, The Great Gatsby. While the message might be
‘you can’t repeat the past’, and the futility of the American dream, I still
see hope in it. The future can still be full of new possibilities, when we
stop letting the past hold us back.So we beat on, boats against the current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past- F. Scott Fitzgerald

‘Sleepy’ body lotion from Lush
(£16), or their ‘Twilight’ spray
(£20). When I’m stressed, sleep
is the first thing that goes out of
the window, but these lavender-

smell incredible,
and really work
wonders. Definitely
worth a try when
sleep evades you!Sam Cooke – ‘Bring It on Home to Me’

BEST THING YOU’VE DONE
RECENTLY FOR YOUR WELLBEING?
YOUR SELF-CARE ADVICE
Give yourself a break.
Sometimes self-care is
treating yourself well,
pampering, or going to the
gym. But sometimes it’s
letting yourself have a night
off when you need it. To be
lazy, to not do anything on
your to-do list, and relish
some meaningless
downtime.Fajitas. All about that
sizzle and spice.FAVOURITE FOOD
For summer evenings, you can’t
beat a bit of Top Golf. Some fresh
air, fun with friends, and if you’re
feeling frustrated, a great way to
let off some steam.Images | Sliders: ASOS, Twilight Spray: Lush, Emojis:
