Christmas shopping already? I've got a little festive self-care brochure linked in my profile, with gift ideas for anyone who could do with a bit of pampering. Feel free to have a browse while you're here! 👆

It’s dark and stormy out there, so I’ve made a batch of nutmeg and olive oil shortbread and put the kettle on. Homemade biscuits, a pot of tea and no intention of going anywhere. Sending a little warmth from my cosy corner to yours. Stay safe and snug! #StormBoelo #SelfCare

Happy #Caturday from Pink Eyes, home from Paragon Veterinary Referrals & sporting quite the haircut! With the weather turning chilly, I’m tempted to commission her a jumper. Her outstanding vet bill still needs paying. Can you help? Link in first comment. #BlackCatAwarenessMonth

Maple was once my foster cat, so she’ll always be special to me. Her family’s latest update explains the new health concerns and why they’re still fundraising. A donation or repost would be lovely. gofund.me/d1ec5b425 #Caturday #TeamMaple

Sometimes self-care is nothing grander than noticing the brightest thing in front of you. Today, that’s marigolds. Loud, cheerful, gloriously orange little things, getting on with lighting up the day. 🧡🌼 #Orangeween #SelfCare

October is back, which means so are two of my favourite seasonal excuses for nonsense. 🐈️ Custard Cream, the most pumpkin-like kitten in the place, is here to help me launch #Spalloween and #Orangeween. We have 31 days. This could get silly. 🎃

#BritishFoodFortnight sent me down a skincare rabbit hole. I talk a lot about Mediterranean ingredients, but what about things closer to home that wander from plate to face? Oats, berries, herbs... 🌿 #InYourFaceOnYourFace melanielampro.com/tag/inyourfa...

Just like that, we’ve tipped into autumn. 🍂 Today is the #AutumnEquinox, that lovely balancing point between light and dark. I did a little mindful leaf collecting too. Turnip helped, obviously. Chief Leaf Balancer. 🐈‍⬛🍁 #CatsOfBluesky

Rose arrived feral, frightened and a very young mum. She slowly learned to trust and became the sweetest, shy little girl. One of her cute quirks is standing up on her back legs for a stroke. Now she’s adopted and settling into her new home. 🖤 🐈‍⬛ #AdoptDontShop #RescueCats

Some gifts are really an excuse to tell someone to put their feet up for a bit. 💜 REPOSE is one of my favourite ways to give a little evening calm, whether it’s a birthday, thank you or simply “this made me think of you”. #UKGiftHour #Skincare #SelfCare

And when I say weird blood... this is what the vets are dealing with. Her blood is so abnormally fatty that labs are struggling to test it. They’re still trying to work out why... Photo: Emily Cobb
