Hot Mum Summer is officially in session ☀️🍊
Even though I haven’t slept in 3.5 years, I fully intend to emerge from this summer smelling expensive, feeling glowy, and pretending I have my life together.
Which is why I’ve put together these bundles.
Think:
✨ Healthy, glowing skin
✨ Holiday-ready SPF
✨ Natural-looking tan
✨ Fine fragrance body care that smells like a £200 perfume
✨ FREE limited edition Wild Mango & Blood Orange Body Smooth (worth £30)
The best bit?
These aren’t just “summer products.”
They’re the products you actually reach for when you’re:
• doing the nursery run
• heading to the beach
• surviving on coffee and crumbs
• trying to look alive after another broken night’s sleep
Because motherhood might be chaotic, but your skin doesn’t have to be.
My favourite offer has to be the Wild Mango & Blood Orange Body Smooth.
If summer had a scent, this would be it. 🍊🥭
⚠️ Offers end 30th June
⚠️ Available only when ordering direct through me
⚠️ Pay in 3 available
Comment HOT MUM and I’ll send you the bundle details, or DM me if you’d like help choosing the best one for your skin, budget and summer plans.

As a mum of 2 under 4, I need holidays to be as streamlined as possible and I don’t just think about whether a product works anymore.
I think about who’s using it.
My toddler.
My baby.
My husband.
Me.
The reality is that most families are applying multiple personal care products every single day without ever really looking at what’s in them.
And whilst I’m not interested in fear-mongering, I am interested in making better choices where I can.
That’s why everything in this carousel came to Greece with us.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it looks pretty on Instagram.
But because these are products that are naturally derived, packed with skin-loving ingredients, and genuinely loved by our whole family.
The SPFs protected sensitive skin.
The after sun soothed everyone.
The skincare kept my skin hydrated despite sun, salt water and air conditioning.
The makeup enhanced and protected rather than covered.
And possibly my favourite thing?
I wasn’t carrying separate products for everyone - except my (very small) makeup bag of course 😉
No overflowing wash bags.
No products gathering dust or getting left in the room.
No compromising on what goes onto our skin.
Just simple, effective products that made family holidays feel easier.
If you’re trying to move towards a more conscious, low-tox approach to skincare, suncare and beauty without sacrificing results (and kilos in your suitcase), save this post for your summer holiday prep ☀️
And tell me…
What’s one product your whole family fights over using? 👇

I never expected to become a stay-at-home mum.
Truthfully, I thought I’d always be “doing more”. Building. Achieving. Being it all at the same.
But after burnout, motherhood and completely re-evaluating what I wanted my life to feel like… everything shifted.
And while I genuinely love being home with my boys, I also think we need to be more honest about the parts of being a SAHM people don’t talk about enough:
The identity loss. The financial stretch. The mental load. The loneliness some days. The feeling of wanting something that belongs to YOU again.
Not because motherhood isn’t enough. But because you’re still a whole person too.
Finding a way to build income from my phone during nap times and evenings changed so much for me. Not just financially, but mentally. I feel challenged again. Motivated again. Like I’m building a future for my family without sacrificing these years with my children.
If you’re on maternity leave or navigating SAHM life and quietly wondering if there could be another way to do this…
You’re not the only one 🌿
DM me “CURIOUS” if you want to chat honestly about what I’ve been building and what this could do for you
❤️
The internet talks about stay-at-home mums like we’re all softly lit trad wives baking banana bread in matching linen sets all day…. IF ONLY 🤣
Meanwhile most of us are surviving on one income, reheating the same cup of coffee 4 times, carrying the entire mental load of the household and running on an overstimulated nervous system.
Motherhood is beautiful. But let’s stop pretending it isn’t also relentless sometimes.
To be honest, I realised pretty quickly that I didn’t just want to ‘get through’ these years. I wanted motherhood to feel more expansive. More spacious. More supported.
That’s why I started building income from my phone during nap times. Tiny pockets of work that now help create more choice, more breathing room, and little luxuries that make life feel softer without sacrificing being present with my kids.
Not because I want to escape motherhood.
Because I want to enjoy it more (and outsource the washing!) 🌿✨
I think more Mums NEED to hear this about network marketing.
People are quick to judge it… and throw terms like ‘pyramid scheme’ around (which by the way, are illegal!) but when you actually look at the structure of most traditional workplaces, they’re literally built like pyramids too!!
At your workplace is there:
A small number of people at the top
Managers in the middle
Employees at the bottom keeping everything running
So the difference between traditional jobs and network marketing?
In most traditional jobs:
🌿your income is capped
🌿your schedule is generally dictated
🌿progression takes years
🌿you’re often building somebody else’s dream (on a 2% annual pay rise if you’re lucky)
🌿capped annual leave and permission required
What shocked me about network marketing was how supportive it actually was, and that every single person who joins has the same opportunity to succeed.
🌿you don’t need business experience
🌿you can earn whatever you want to
🌿you can work whenever/wherever you want
🌿you don’t need loads of money to start (I started with £66!)
🌿you’re surrounded by people actively WANTING to help you succeed because your growth benefits everyone
🌿there’s no targets or pressure (in my business anyway!)
That by no means makes this easy.
It’s still a business, it still takes consistency, people skills, resilience & time.
But for Mums especially? The flexibility and potential can genuinely change lives - it opened a door for me id been searching for for years.
Being able to work around naps, nursery mornings, school runs and family life instead of trying to squeeze family around work… that matters.
And honestly (THANKFULLY) I think more women are waking up to the fact that there might be another way to build income without burning themselves into the ground.
That’s why I started, at 8 weeks postpartum. Because respectfully, I’m not giving the best of years of my life to build someone else’s dream 🌿✨

Dreaming of starting that hobby or project but you’re too exhausted.
Wishing you could spend more time with your kids, maybe home school, but it’s home, dinner, bath and bed - for the whole family.
Visions of travel and up and going anytime you want only you’re still building someone else’s dream.
It’s the Sunday dread stealing joy and precious moments from time that should be yours.
Because this the real price tag. When people are earning and exceeding their full time wage by working from their phone, you are still sitting there wondering when things will get easier.
Well, they just did. If you’re ready to stop paying that price, joining my Tropic business could be your starting point. No huge investment, no stock, no targets just a real flexible income built around your life. Drop me a DM and let’s chat 🌿
