    My podcast interview with Sydney Delucchi

    A couple of years ago I don’t think you would ever have got me to be brave enough to record a podcast but here I am, my first ever podcast interview on The Daily Squish Report Podcast with Sydney Delucchi. 

    Sydney and I met on Instagram way back when, I think when we were both pregnant with our daughters, and we’ve followed along with each others lives ever since as we navigate motherhood, raising our businesses and doing all the things with a little bit of coffee and a lot of humour. We both work in a similar industry too so it’s always great to get together and have a chat about what we do as we figure out this crazy life of working in our dream careers and raising our beautiful girls.

    When I got the opportunity to feature as a guest on her podcast I knew I had to, she is someone that inspires me everyday and I love watching her do all the business things, all the mum life things and rocking at it all.

    I jumped on with Sydney to chat about my motherhood while raising my daughter, how I almost chucked it all in before maternity leave and why having my daughter made me flip 180 on a business I thought I was done with. Mindset shift or what?!

    I am talking about how I do, why I do it, what I’ve been learning about Pinterest, reaching 100k on the platform, my free Pinterest guide and why I am loving my new little gig of creating Lightroom Presets too. Everything and more about my business and why I am still here rocking it today. Also I had the pleasure of being the first international guest too, how awesome is that!

    If you want to check it out you can check it out wherever you get your Podcasts, just search for The Daily Squish Report with Sydney Delucchi, oh, and don’t forget to subscribe too.

    5 steps to level up your Instagram + grab my free Instagram cheat sheet

    A post teaching you how to level up your Instagram, plus the opportunity to download my free Instagram cheat sheet.

    It’s finally here, my Instagram playbook that I have been planning for the longest time is now out in the world and I cannot wait for you guys to delve in and take away some tangible tips to help you thrive on your own Instagram accounts.

    It still feels so surreal that my first ebook is finally out in the world, from those first thoughts about doing this while I was on maternity leave, it is always so great to see something come to fruition. It’s been a long couple of months for us all hasn’t it? Lockdown hasn’t been easy and there are many times that I didn’t feel inspired enough to make it happen, not to mention so much happening in our lives over the past 8 weeks that it’s been hard to focus on anything but life. But it’s here, and it’s well and truly time to level up your instagram.

    Showing up real & with integrity

    But here we are and I am so excited to finally share it with you guys, I hope you enjoy it and absorb it and I can’t wait to see you put some of the tips to work too. With everything I do, whether it be on Instagram, on this blog or throughout any of my online endeavours I always lead and show up with integrity, and that is what this course is founded on, showing up as the truest version of yourself. In the course you’ll learn the Instagram basics, take you back to the beginning (or start you off on the right foot if you are just starting out), help you create beautiful photo content and captions that share who you are. 

    If you want to get yourself enrolled in this free mini course head over now, I can’t wait to see you there.

    Get started with levelling up your Instagram

    As well as creating this ebook, I also created my own little cheat sheet for you to download and refer to. You can either use it alongside the course or on its own and helps you with a few simple things, such as what you can use for editing, planning and link sharing when it comes to Instagram.

    I am so excited to share with you how to create an Instagram account built on integrity and focused on being who you truly are. There is so much power in showing up as the truest version of yourself and connecting with other like-minded individuals, and I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me.

    Create your own Instagrammable walking tour of London!

    A post about how you can create your own instagrammable walking tour of London and get all those photos you’ve been dying to snap.

    Where to start with your Instagrammable walking tour

    Can you believe this is even a thing? Ha! But if you’re like me and love to capture beautiful photos and sometimes share them over on Instagram (I say sometimes because I have so many unused photos that I just loved at the time) then you might be interested in this little tour around London.

    There are so many beautiful places throughout London where you can take amazing photos and I have no doubt that as time goes on I will be adding to this list. Today I am going to focus on a few key areas, some more touristy than others, but all equally as beautiful when you are looking to get that shot.

    Southbank

    The hustle and bustle of London’s Southbank is not to be missed, whether you arrive by tube or across the Millennium bridge (which is another cracking spot to take a great photo) you won’t be disappointed with what greets you at Southbank. Quirky bars, food trucks, restaurants, street art, and amazing views. We found this gorgeous flower wall too which is perfect for those Instagram photos. Keep your eyes peeled for brightly coloured walls and artwork.
    Tube: Waterloo, Blackfriars, Temple

    Shoreditch

    Home of street art, you will find yourself in paradise if a beautiful wall is what you are looking for. Many of the street artists do tag their own work so keep an eye out and credit them where possible. You will find independent cafes, restaurants and bars, quirky side streets and more stuff to Instagram than you can swing your smartphone at.
    Tube: Old Street

    Covent Garden

    Covent Garden is always beautiful in my opinion and at different times of year have different things you can take photos of. More recently there were some wonderful flower installations (which looked amazing on Instagram!) but I am certain you can find a few amazing places to photograph any time of the year. Covent Garden is often busy with tourists but well worth the trip.

    Neals Yard

    This tiny little yard right near Covent Garden is beautiful. Bright little shop fronts, unique boutique style shops and a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle of London. Just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden you can only enter Neals yard via a small alley, so definitely one to use Google maps for. It can get quite busy but people generally move through quite quickly.

    Notting Hill

    Home of beautiful, expensive and colourful homes, Notting Hill has long been an Instagrammers paradise. Having visited recently it was nice to see the beauty of Notting Hill and take photos from afar. Please remember, as beautiful and aesthetically pleasing the outside of these houses are, many of them are private homes. I was so sad to see signs on so many asking people not to hang their clothes on the railings or stand on their doorsteps. By all means, head along and take pictures from afar, or even on the street, but make sure you respect people’s privacy too. While in Notting Hill be sure to check out Biscuiteers, not only do they have the most wonderfully beautiful cookies that taste incredible but they have a gorgeous shop front too. 
    Tube: Notting Hill Gate, Ladbroke Grove

    There are so many other places in London which are Instagrammable too so I will definitely be writing up a sequel to this at a later date. Where are your favourite places to take beautiful photos in London?
