Special occassions are meant to be fun… so why do they feel so overwhelming?

If you have ADHD, autism, or you’re neurodivergent, special occasions can come with pressure, expectations, and sensory overload that most people don’t see.

In this video, I talk honestly about:
• Why birthdays can feel exhausting
• The hidden struggles of ADHD & autism during celebrations
• Social pressure, masking, and overwhelm
• And most importantly… what I’m doing differently this year

This year, I’m choosing a way of celebrating that actually feels good for me.

If you’ve ever felt anxious, drained, or even dread your own birthday—you’re not alone 💛

Another year shimmying around the sun for me. But this year im feeling blessed due to a family tragedy which is a stark reminder. 👇👇👇
Normally I put pressure on myself to have achieved certain things by each birthday but this year I’ve had the biggest reminder just to be grateful of each moment we have with And the fact that there’s so many people I feel loved by is incredible.

We spent the day exploring Harrogate, often described as one of the poshest towns in the UK 🇬🇧✨ From elegant streets and beautiful architecture to charming cafes and classic Yorkshire vibes, we put it to the test to see if it really lives up to its reputation.

The highlight of the day was an incredibly relaxing floating sound bath experience 🧘‍♀️🎶 — a unique wellness session combining weightless floating with soothing sound frequencies designed to help you deeply unwind, de-stress, and reset both mind and body.

In this vlog, we explore:
• First impressions of Harrogate
• Walking through the town centre & hidden gems
• Food & atmosphere
• Our full floating sound bath experience
• Honest thoughts on whether Harrogate is worth visiting

I Had an Eating Disorder… Now I Review Food?!

For years, my relationship with food was shaped by fear, control, and an eating disorder. Meals weren’t something to enjoy — they were something to stress over.

But recovery changed everything.

In this vlog, I’m sharing my journey of healing, learning to trust my body again, and slowly finding joy in food… something I never thought would be possible.

What makes this even more special is doing it alongside my husband — a food reviewer who genuinely LOVES food @DannyvsFoodYT . Being around someone who celebrates food instead of fearing it has completely changed my perspective.

Together, we’ve turned something that once felt impossible into something joyful — from trying new meals, eating out, and creating memories around food again 🍽️ and takeaways aftwr all he is the takeaway king.

If you’re struggling, in recovery, or supporting someone who is — you are not alone. Recovery is messy, emotional, and not linear… but it is worth it 💛

Thank you for being here and supporting this journey.

Many of you have asked me how I’ve coped with an eating disorder and now being pregnant… so here goes I thought I’d share in this video ❤️❤️❤️

For years, I struggled with an eating disorder that controlled my thoughts, my body, and my life. I never imagined I’d reach a place where I could nourish myself… let alone grow a baby.

Now I’m pregnant, and everything has changed.

In this video, I talk honestly about:
• What recovery really looks like (not perfect, not linear)
• The fears that still show up during pregnancy
• Learning to trust my body again
• How my mindset around food is changing
• The emotional reality of healing while becoming a mum

If you’re struggling, in recovery, or supporting someone who is — you’re not alone. 🤍

This journey is messy, emotional, and beautiful… and I’m so grateful to finally be here.

💬 I’d love to hear your story in the comments
🤍 Be kind — this is a safe space

We finally took our toddler to Nickelodeon Land at Blackpool Pleasure Beach… and WOW 🧡🎢

It was such a magical family day — bright colours, favourite characters, proper seaside atmosphere — but let’s talk about the REALITY 👀👇

If you’re visiting with a toddler, be prepared… the height checks are STRICT. Like measure-you-twice strict 😅 Some rides we thought would be fine were a no-go, which definitely caused a few tiny disappointments (and maybe one dramatic floor moment 🙃).
ALSO CHECK BEST DEALS ONLINE IN ADVANCE.

BUT there are still some brilliant toddler-friendly rides, lots of photo opportunities, and that amazing theme park buzz that makes it all worth it. We learned:
✔️ Check height requirements online before you go
✔️ Bring comfy shoes (you’ll be walking A LOT)
✔️ Manage expectations if your little one is on the smaller side
✔️ Pack snacks for queue meltdowns
Andbring your own lunch but the pizxa buffet is worth it for toddlers.

Despite the height drama, we had the BEST day making memories, riding what we could, and soaking up the fun. Would we go again? Absolutely 💛

If you’re planning a toddler trip to Blackpool, this is your honest, real-life review!

Is this UK’s smallest city with the most amount of hidden gems?
👇👇👇

SMALL CITY ❤️ HUGE SECRETS… Today we’re exploring Lichfield — and this day took a VERY unexpected turn…

First stop — the incredible Lichfield Cathedral.
This stunning cathedral has THREE spires and dates back to the 1100s. Honestly one of the most beautiful in England.

Next we visited the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum, where the man who wrote one of the first English dictionaries was born! 📚

So… history lesson complete.

But then things got competitive.

We headed to Patty Freaks for an EATING CONTEST with British Eating League🔥

Danny met up with his pals Dad Loves Food, Max Vs Food and Liam Marley Eats.

Historic city… epic food challenge… and possibly the smallest yet most surprising city I’ve visited.

Have you been to Lichfield ? 👇#hiddengem #staffordshire #Wakefield #manchester #daytrip

From Rate My Takeaway to the Brit Awards (and all the bits i do wuiet in between)👇👇👇
People online have a lot to say about our relationship… and yes, we’ve seen the comments.

From “gold digger” accusations to questions about our age gap and why we’re together, the internet definitely has opinions. In this video we sit down and talk honestly about our relationship, how we met, and respond to some of the wildest comments and trolls we’ve received.

Relationships don’t always look the way people expect, and sometimes the stories people create online couldn’t be further from the truth.

So here it is… the real story behind our relationship.

Expect honesty, a few laughs, and maybe even reading some of the mean comments out loud.

❤️ If you enjoy real conversations and behind-the-scenes life, don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe.

Peace, love and shimmies xx
