So thankful that I got to see @momandpopsuk and @hannahbutgreener today for our Christmas hike! Even if it poured on us...

As of midnight, Kent is going into its own lockdown over Christmas. I know all of these restrictions and upheavals have been weighing on all of us, so please take care of your mental health! 

Be kind to yourself. 
Eat all that Christmas cheese. 
You deserve it 🧀💛
Here’s a YT thumbnail reject photo to remind you to drink water, lower your shoulders and stop clenching your jaw. 

Take a deep breath. 

Look at this hedgehog 🦔
Welcome to @edenbridgeuk 🌿

My partner and I have launched handmade fragrances! We have the Historia collection which is inspired by places in Kent and the Portraits collection inspired by bold people in history. We worked really hard to choose scents that embody that place or person.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought from us already!! I can’t wait to see where this goes. 

Find us at www.edenbridge.co.uk
Happy gaming, y’all! And to the big girl herself: you’re going to do great, sweetie 🤍

I livestream every Wednesday & Sunday at 6:30pm GMT. We eat, play games and talk about our feelings. Feel free to hang out with us.
