πβ¨ SKIN SCHOOL: What Can I Do About Open Pores?
If you've ever looked in the mirror and wished your pores looked smaller... you're definitely not alone! π
The first thing to know is that you can't permanently change the size of your pores β genetics play a big part.
BUT... you absolutely can make them look much less noticeable. β¨
Pores often appear larger when they're:
β’ Filled with oil and dead skin cells
β’ Congested with blackheads
β’ Surrounded by skin that's losing firmness with age
So instead of trying to "shrink" your pores, the goal is to keep them as clean and healthy as possible.
π‘ This means:
β¨ Cleansing thoroughly every day
β¨ Exfoliating regularly (without overdoing it!)
β¨ Using a clay mask occasionally to absorb excess oil and help keep pores clear
β¨ Keeping your skin well hydrated
β¨ Using ingredients like retinol to encourage healthy skin renewal
β¨ Wearing SPF every day to protect collagen and help maintain skin firmness
As collagen naturally declines with age, the skin around our pores becomes less supportive, making them appear larger. Looking after your skin now can make a real difference in the years to come. π
Remember... beautiful skin isn't poreless skin. Everyone has pores! Healthy, balanced skin will always look better than skin that's been scrubbed, stripped and over-treated.

β¨ Kindred Beauty Weekly Wellness: The Power of Affirmations β¨
Did you know your mind doesnβt know the difference between whatβs real and whatβs imagined? π§ π
Thatβs why affirmations are so powerful.
An affirmation is simply a positive statement you repeat to yourself again and again β to gently rewire your beliefs, shift your energy, and (over time) shape the reality you experience.
Hereβs why they work π
Your subconscious mind is like a sponge. Itβs always listening to your self-talk β whether itβs positive or negative.
If youβve spent years thinking:
β βIβm not good enough.β
β βI never stick to anything.β
β βIβm just not confident.β
β¦your subconscious has accepted those as truths.
Affirmations help you rewrite that narrative and create new patterns.
---
π‘ How to make it stick:
βοΈ Start small: Repeat affirmations that feel gentle & believable
βοΈ Say them out loud (even if you feel a bit silly at first β I used to!)
βοΈ Put them where youβll see them daily (mine are on my wardrobe door!)
βοΈ Anchor them to habits β say them in the car, while brushing your teeth, or getting ready
---
πΈ The takeaway?
You can use the power of your mind to support the version of you that youβre becoming.
Start feeding your subconscious with kind, uplifting thoughts β and watch how your actions and energy begin to shift.
β¨ Iβve created a free Affirmation Prompts Sheet to help you write your own powerful, personalised affirmations.

π SKIN SCHOOL: Why Does My Makeup Sit So Badly On My Skin?!
You know the feelingβ¦
Your makeup goes on looking great β and then suddenly itβs:
β’ separating
β’ clinging to dry patches
β’ sliding off your nose
β’ settling into lines
β’ or just lookingβ¦ a bit weird π
Most of the time, itβs not the makeup causing the problem β itβs the skin underneath.
Here are some of the most common reasons π
β¨ Dehydrated skin
When skin lacks water, makeup can cling to flaky patches or look uneven.
β¨ Too much exfoliation
Overusing acids or scrubs can disrupt the skin barrier, making makeup sit patchy or textured.
β¨ Too much oil
If your skin produces excess oil, makeup can start sliding or separating throughout the day.
β¨ Product layering issues
Sometimes skincare and makeup formulas just donβt play nicely together β especially if youβre mixing lots of different textures.
β¨ Your skin barrier needs support
When the barrier is compromised, skin can become rough, irritated or uneven, which makes makeup harder to apply smoothly.
The fix usually isnβt better makeup β itβs better skin preparation π
Think:
π§ Hydration
π§΄ Barrier-supporting skincare
βοΈ Daily SPF
β¨ Gentle, consistent routines
When your skin is healthy and balanced, makeup tends to behave much better too π§ββοΈ

β¨ Morning vs Evening Routines β¨
You donβt need a Pinterest-Perfect morning and evening routine to be productive or well-balancedβ¦
You just need one that works with your natural energy rhythms π
For me personally:
βοΈ Morning = Physical Energy:
This is my window for workouts. If I donβt do it first thing, itβs not happening later! π
I have total respect for people who can hit the gym after work at 6pmβ¦ thatβs not me π
π§ Evening = Mental Clarity & Creativity:
Mornings? Iβm indecisive and easily stuck in decision fatigue (yesβ¦ even over which trainers to wear π).
Evenings? Thatβs when my ideas flow. Itβs my prime time for planning, journaling, and organising.
β° Middle of the day = Action Mode:
This is when I get stuck into my tasks β the things Iβve already planned out the night before.
But your rhythm might be totally differentβ¦
Maybe your lunch break is your best thinking time.
Maybe your evening is for complete switch-off.
π‘ The takeaway?
Listen to your mind + body.
Notice when youβre naturally energisedβ¦ and when you slow down.
Then build your wellness habits around that β¨
And if you want a little help mapping it out, Iβve created a Morning vs Evening Routine Planner so you can sketch out what works for you π
