My hands are currently very dry and, thanks to fostering kittens, a little decorated with tiny claw “tattoos”. 😅 So it felt like a good moment to revisit one of my favourite simple self-care topics, caring for your hands softly. melanielampro.com/2025/11/19/c...

I have gained a "paws on" sidekick today; she could be your next work placement candidate, too... #CatsWithJobs #AdoptDontShop nextdoor.co.uk/p/d_-gK89-sM3R

I’m a volunteer foster carer for cats and kittens in Sheffield, supporting Cat Man Jules Rescue. I provide short-term home care for nervous or transitional kittens, helping them move from intake to adoption-ready through routine, observation, and gentle socialisation. 🐾 🧵 1/2

“What is Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year.” — Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation Before it became a marketing moment, Galentine’s was about friendship. Care, connection, and showing up for each other. That’s still worth celebrating. Happy Galentine's Day!

Someone legit just asked me if Wigford was holding a banana in his teeth. I'm like dude... how big do you think this rat is? 🍌🐀

Every little bit helps support small businesses & creatives, that’s what #UKGiftHour is about. We connect people across the UK & beyond, but so do local comminitues. Do you have one where you live? Here in Sheffield, we have @helpsheffield.co.uk, neighbours helping neighbours, online & offline.

These fosters go through huge amounts of food and, as a result, litter each week. If it speaks to you, here’s my practical Amazon wishlist. Never expected, always optional, and hugely appreciated: buff.ly/28dU9zc Sharing helps too!

Not every expression of care needs a special edition or a single date attached to it. Sometimes it’s the familiar things, the ones that quietly support us day to day, that end up meaning the most. This month, I’ll choose care that lasts beyond the moment. Unrushed. Thoughtful. Everyday.

This is my favourite offer this month. The EYE BRIGHT PLUS Collection is one of those sets that just makes sense, calming puffiness, brightening tired eyes, and supporting the delicate eye area without overdoing it. Gentle care, done well. Link below ⬇️

I did everything right. Pets secured. Doors shut. Paint planned. Still walked straight into wet paint because I wildly overestimated my spatial awareness. Decorating remains undefeated. 🎨😅
