You’re Holding Dumbbells Wrong in Pilates (Fix This for Muscle Growth)

Most people hold dumbbells incorrectly in Pilates, which reduces muscle activation and limits strength results. In this short, I show you the correct dumbbell grip to help you get more out of your Pilates workouts.

If you’re new to wellness or trying to build strength in a realistic sustainable way, you’re in the right place.

Spend a realistic wellness day in my life 💛

In this vlog I’m sharing my GRWM routine for sensitive, dry and acne-prone skin using some of my favourite K-beauty makeup and skincare products ever, plus a gut health focused grocery haul.

After previously struggling with a parasite and ongoing gut issues since I was 11, I’ve become really intentional about the foods and habits that support my microbiome, digestion and mental health. In this video I’m walking through the small, everyday wellness habits that help me feel better; from skincare and self-care to the probiotic foods I add to my diet.

Read below & save for the next time you feel stuck.

These journaling promots will help you reframe your mind. When you hold space for yourself you create a place for you to check in, to see where you are at and realign yourself with the things that truly serve you.

You don’t need a complicated morning routine or 45 minutes of meditation. Sometimes 5-10 minutes with a journal and coffee is enough to reset your energy and bring your mind back into flow. Particularly coffee that supports focus and clarity: with brain-boosting adaptogenic ingredients like Lions Mane & Cordyceps that supports hormonal balance whilst giving a calming buzz.

Journaling is by far the simplest and most accessible mindfulness practise, which has been completely transformative for me, and has been the gateway to meditation. Powerful journal prompts completely help reset your mindset. If you want to start journaling but don’t know what to write… start here.

I come back to prompts like this whenever my mind feels heavy, overwhelmed, or stuck in negative loops.

They help me:
• clear mental clutter
• reconnect with gratitude
• ground myself in the present moment
• shift into a more positive mindset

And honestly, this is usually where my best ideas, creativity and clarity come from.

If you’re new to journaling, try answering these prompts slowly and honestly, with no pressure to write perfectly. Wellness doesn’t need to be complicated. Just small habits that help you feel a little better each day.

1. What are 3 things you love about yourself?
2. What drains your energy, and what fills your cup?
3. What are you most afraid of, and how has it shaped your life?
4. Describe your ideal day in detail
5. What is one lesson you have learned recently, and how can you use it to level up?
Save this post so you have these prompts ready whenever you need a mental reset.

I think my life’s work will be finding very good coffee and matcha in London for under £4 which really feels less and less attainable in 2026 so, challenge accepted. Starting strong with this flat white (reg milk, which helps £) from Lockdown Bakehouse. She’s stunning. One of the best coffees I’ve had periodt!

I’ve really learnt that blush that pops it’s just about colour (and yes it took me decades to find the right shade!) but it’s about placement 👏🏻 When you use the right blush shade & technique, everything changes. This trending placement is something I’ve been trying recently and I really can’t go back to whatever the helly I was doing before. It lifts the face, softens features and creates a more youthful, sculpted, elevated sun-kissed look. I’ll never go back to blush blindness 😎☀️💕 Kylie Cosmetics
