A vote also for the brownies (and anything) for someone who has had a miscarriage (or failed ivf cycle, for that matter). Someone got us that and I remember feeling so grateful. I’m also with you on the lemon squeezer!! Seriously game changing in the kitchen department. No more lemon in cuts on my hands, hurrah 🙌

I love this list!

Another vote here for the brownies or any ‘I’m thinking of you’ gift after a miscarriage.

Great call on the recognition of grief for a failed fertility treatment cycle Louise!

Also, I’m about to go google Parlux hairdryers right now as desperately need to upgrade my cheap department store one!

I’m with Louise- Brownies for the win, we got sent some too. Jennie this list is glorious, I love it. Best book for escapism for me is still Harry Potter, but best non fiction is ‘everything Is Washable’ by Sali Hughes. I’ve read it probably 7 times, its like a hig from a big sister xx

Oh I love this idea of a "like" list instead of a "gratitude" list. Trying to make a "gratitude" list always makes me feel like I'm failing at life. Like I should be able to think of things I'm grateful for, even when I'm having a shitty day. But I can always think of something I like!

Once again, you write what I think. You might’ve noticed my existential crisis and silence on insta this last almost year. I do miss the connection like this though. Thank you for your posts- please do write those two you have swirling around your head!

Also I LOVE this list.

Two things I often recommend: no 7 protect and perfect lip care to help in winter and this garlic crusher (?!): NexTrend garlic twist xx

Welcome back! I’ve missed your posts :-D I have the same habit of giving brownies for miscarriage- we seem to be so aligned here. I love these particularly https://www.gowercottagebrownies.co.uk/
