My first red carpet for the premiere of a series I’m featured in, at the iconic @odeonlsq ,and my first time seeing my face on the big screen with credits. 🎬✨ A real pinch-me moment, watching it on the same screen that’s hosted Star Wars and Bond films. Made even sweeter sharing it with my childhood best friend - from reception to red carpets, hey @dipztailor 😉. Mum, I know you saw this one from above. Something tells me you had your hand in it too🤍 Thank you Jesus 🙏🏽

It isn’t until you look back that you realise how far you’ve come. 8 years ago, I was working at @kiehlsuki when they unexpectedly put me in front of a camera to talk about skincare. That was the moment I knew - I wanted more of this. At the time, I was searching for something greater than myself, and I followed the signs life kept placing in front of me. The chain of events that followed is almost unbelievable! Within nine months, I’d booked my first TV commercial with @johnfriedauk. The rest is history... and I feel like we’re only just getting warmed up. ✨

The soundtrack to my imaginary slow-mo walk out of the ocean ✨. Anyway - the photos that almost didn’t make the Sri Lanka photo dump! 🇱🇰

A lobster tan, ocean-dried hair (one of my favourite looks), and some of my favourite dinner views - from a 99p roadside lunch with a mountain view to sunset dinners by the beach. 

Daily coconuts 🥥 from Ganesha. Gram-worthy breakfast bowls from the lovely couple at @slowdown.ceylon 

Temples, churches, beautiful architecture, and solar-beaming on the mountains in Nuwara Eliya. Dolphins at sunrise. I can’t believe I’m saying this either - but there was a fair amount of Netflix and chill... literally. 😅

I took out the hotel staff out for dinner at @bokka.hiriketiya as a ‘thank you’. And finally, me and Jesus kicking it back in an entire row of seats on the flight home. Not quite first class, but by the grace of God, He’s working on it! 

Sri Lanka, you were good for the soul 🙏🏽

One of the highlights of my solo trip to Sri Lanka was leaving the coast behind and heading into the heart of the country to explore Nuwara Eliya. 

The journey from Hiriketiya was an adventure in itself - winding mountain roads, waterfalls, monkeys everywhere, roadside cafés with incredible views, beautiful churches, fresh fruits for the journey, and a landscape that felt completely different from the south.

From tea leaf picking in the rolling hills to enjoying a 99p lunch overlooking the mountains, every stop felt like a glimpse into another side of Sri Lanka. If you’re visiting, Nuwara Eliya is an absolute must. 🇱🇰✨

12 days in Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka 🌊

This solo trip was all about learning to surf, and after spending almost every day in the water, I finally managed to catch my own waves. Watching this reel back brings the biggest smile to my face because it perfectly captures what those 12 days felt like.

Hiriketiya has a way of slowing life down - a laid-back island energy that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

One of my favourite memories was sitting out beyond the break, waiting for a wave, when a green sea turtle appeared right beside me, gently bobbing along the surface. It felt surreal! 

If you’ve ever thought about learning to surf, taking a solo trip, or escaping to island life for a while, let this be your sign. 🤍

One of many solo trips I’ve taken…but Sri Lanka became a special place for me where I learned to surf, drank coconuts every day, and embraced a slower pace of life 🌊 From 99p roadside meals with mountain views, to slow mornings, kind locals, and memories that never even made it into this reel - this trip was full of moments that meant much more than what a camera could capture.

I explored a few different parts of Sri Lanka, but somehow I always found myself returning back to Hiriketiya. It’s a small little area that has everything - surf, great food, good people, live music, and a feeling that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

If you’ve ever thought about doing a solo trip, let this be your sign.

I turned 35 earlier this year. It’s wild how quickly the first five years fly by once you hit 30. The last 8 years since I began this truth-seeking journey has been nothing short of transformative. I had a blast celebrating my 35th - starting with a spa day, then a night out dancing until the late AM, which made me feel like I was back in my 20s! 💗

Here’s what I’d tell my 27-year-old self if I could do it all again. And yes, I’m incredibly blessed to have walked this path:
• Jesus is real. Choose Him sooner. (He’s the best thing that will ever happen to you. He’ll make your path straight, with the occasional side quest for personal growth.)
• Honour your parents. Help them as much as you can, and travel with them often.
• Enjoy every version of yourself- change is inevitable.
• Write to God consistently. Ask questions. Meditate.
• For every high, there’s an equal low. There is always light at the end of the tunnel- ride it out.
• Experience more. It adds meaning to life.
• Trust your instincts - always.
• Keep one foot in chaos and one foot in order.
• Buy the one-way ticket. Return when you’re ready.
• Grow into a ‘no fear’ mindset.
• It will make sense after you’ve done it, so just do it.

There’s much more I’d share, but this is a start.
