1,000 followers, I can’t believe it. I am so thrilled to have you here! My name is Louise, I’m a part-time calligraphy teacher and self-love advocate. 🫶🏻
If you’re new to my page, here are…
✨5 things you might not know about me✨
1️⃣ - I used to have an Irish accent. I was born in Co. Galway, but my family moved to Essex when I was 4 and my accent changed when I started primary school. We moved home to Ireland 30 years ago now, so I think the English accent is well and truly stuck 🥹
2️⃣ - I can speak French and Spanish (but rarely use them). They were two of my major subjects in University and I went on work-abroad and study-abroad programs to get good at both. I don’t use them much at all though - and I don’t think “singing along to Despacito with more confidence than is justified” was the goal 😅 Oh, well.
3️⃣ - I am rocking my natural hair colour. I ditched the dye in March 2020 and started my grow out in the relative privacy of lockdown. I also started the curly girl method to encourage my natural curls back and to get rid of the damage caused by many years of straightening. I highly recommend embracing the grey if you’re thinking about it! I’ve saved money, time, and all that silly worrying about grey roots showing. Come on, silver sisters! YOLO 👩🏻🦳
4️⃣ - I work in Cybersecurity. Hah! Bet you weren’t expecting that. By day, I am a User Experience Writer, so I craft the words on screen and the online help documentation. I suppose it sort of lends itself to teaching calligraphy - it’s all about words and clear communication, after all! 💻
5️⃣ - I’m a houseplant hoarder - I have more houseplants than I can responsibly look after. At my last count, my houseplants outnumbered humans in my home by 12:1. Is that an unhealthy obsession? I can’t say for sure that it’s not. 🪴 I do love them though.

Thank you so much for being here! 💗
Le grá (with love),
