Ad As you guys know, I’m covered in freckles and moles. I love them, but I’m also very aware of the importance of keeping an eye on them.

I hit 6 out of the 7 risk factors for skin cancer, and both of my parents had skin cancers removed last year, so getting my skin checked felt especially important.

The 7 risk factors are:

•UV exposure from sunlight
•Fair skin, freckles, red or blonde hair and light-coloured eyes
•A history of sunburn, particularly during childhood
•A high number of moles or atypical moles
•A personal or family history of skin cancer
•A weakened immune system
•Using sunbeds or sunlamps

I recently visited Enigma Healthcare in Tarporley for mole mapping. We discussed any changes I’d noticed, took detailed photos of my skin and looked through the images together. These were then sent to the Consultant Dermatologist for assessment.

Thankfully, everything came back fine, which was such a relief! 🥹 I’ll now go back every 12 months so they can compare the images and look for any changes.

If you have lots of moles, freckles or concerns about your skin, this is your reminder to get checked. You can find out more about mole mapping via the link in bio or on their website. I’ve also shared the link on my stories. I’ve got a 10% off code for you Melanie10 (quite this when paying at the clinic desk).

Prevention is better than cure.

Ad Aligner fitting day!!
I’ve always been quite self conscious about my teeth, particularly my bottom teeth, so I’m really excited to finally be doing something about them!
I had my second appointment at Yorkshire dental in Manchester to have my aligners fitted, and it was so interesting seeing my 3D treatment plan and how my teeth are going to move over the next 6 months. I actually didn’t even realise I had a crossbite, so that’s something we’ll be correcting too!
The appointment was really quick and straightforward. I had the little bonds added to my teeth (these help the aligners grip onto your teeth to move them), a lesson on how to put them in and take them out, and a full run through of my treatment plan.
I’ll be changing my aligners myself every week for the next 24 weeks and I honestly can’t wait to see the results!

Ah Vinted you’ve served me well, everything I’ve bought has been with my Vinted balance so basically free.
I’ve had a couple more pieces through the post this week so will share those over the next few days.

SPILL THE BILL driveway edition, this was definitely one of those projects that cost more than I hoped but when you look at the groundwork that had to go into it, it was like having an extension! I hope people who are planning to do something like this themselves find the information useful. Christian kept a spreadsheet so costings are exact!
We still have a fence to build and plants to buy we can do that over time.
Our original budget was £32,000 so it’s been a big over spend & sacrifices have been made in the house the last bathroom, outdoor staircase & balcony will have to wait…..
