She’s back (again)…
Luisa-Christie Brighton Beach West Pier Amy Davies

After a brief 18 month (lol), unintentional hiatus, she’s back again… She being me… And this is the second time I’ve had a long unexpected hiatus without an explanation (read about the first time here). Long Caption Crew ’til I die I love writing and I’m regularly part of the Long Caption Crew™ on instagram. I’m just a bit pants when it comes to sitting…

Festival Ready with Simply Be | #WeAreCurves *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Simply Be and contains affiliate links, however this has not affected my opinion of the clothing and this blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience with the brand. When it comes to festival fashion there really is no right way, or wrong way to do it. It can be quite daunting in the…

#LetsGreenThePlanet with Treedom | Father’s Day Gift Idea *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Treedom, however this has not affected my opinion of the company and this blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience. Every year around Father’s Day my inbox fills with pitches for products to include in my “gift ideas” round ups (something that I’ve never done on here). But when an email from Treedom…

Day to Night Makeup Using NYX Cosmetics | #BootsNYXRoutines *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Boots, featuring NYX Cosmetics products. I’m the kind of person that either goes all in, or for a very minimal casual look when it comes to my makeup. Doing my face to get ready to leave the house can take me anywhere between 10 minutes and 2.5 hours, depending on the occasion (much to the dismay…

Cat Mum life: the highs (and lows) | #PethoodStories *

AD – this blog about Cat Mum life is sponsored by Petplan. I’ve spent the majority of my life on this planet co-existing in a household with at least one pet. Most of which have been of the fluffy, sits inside of boxes, and screams in the middle of the night because they want attention, variety… Yep, you guessed it; Cats! From a very young…

Welcome to luisachristie.co.uk

Queer & Curvy Cat Lady 💘 Another lifestyle blog, but with a colourful & alternative edge. Covering all kinds of subjects inc. vegan & cruelty-free food/drink/products, self love & body confidence, bring lgbtq+, festivals, travel & adventure... To name a few. Usually found cuddling animals (especially cats), visiting restaurants with plant-based options, singing my heart out at gigs, or covered in glitter in a festival field.

In my element 🌞 @luisachristieskates 🛼 love In my element 🌞 @luisachristieskates 🛼 love that I’ve found a hobby that involves movement & being outside... I’m clearly not a sporty person, growing up I loved dancing (tap), and I was fairly good at trampolining too! Neither of those things are really impromtu activities you can easily do whenever ya fancy (esp not in current times) - but skating is! As long as you can find a smooth area (I’ve become such a floor perv these days lol)... ~ Something else I’ve enjoyed so much about starting rollerskating is making friends. That’s not to say I don’t already have some truly wonderful friends in my life, but as a 31 year old, self-employed, one woman team (not to mention the panoramic) I don’t easily meet new people. Although my social skills have somewhat regressed the past year without as much human contact as before *all this*. It’s nice to just be around others and chit chat about stuff whilst rolling around in the fresh air (& admiring sunsets). ~ Shout out to @fatbratsroll (aka @babyheartcaker & @tegantheveganlondon) for creating such a lovely little community of babes of all shapes & sizes. Not only is it important to have friends with hobbies in common, but building in-person friendships with fellow plus size babes has been so wonderful. Seeing fat babes skating was quite literally the catalyst for me buying a pair of skates & getting stuck in. Seeing people who look like me doing the thing I wanted do is amazing, also love watching @fat_girl_has_moxi on Instagram too! ~ I could talk way more about the importance of being around people that exist in fat bodies when you’re also fat, but I’ll save that for another day... But in the meantime I hope that if you’re fat/curvy/chubby/plus size (whatever ya wanna call it) & you’re on the fence about rollerskating, this has encouraged you? 🥰 ~ 📸: @kasiaring (I’ve known for years but got much closer with recently thanks to skating 💗 She runs @care.wears & makes gorge vegan & ethical products, check ‘em out!) ~ 👗: (ad pr) @tallulahsthreads 🛼: @rookieskates with @moxirollerskates wheels (all other customisation bits tagged on @luisachristieskates)
Unedited ✨ the sheer volume of heart eye replies Unedited ✨ the sheer volume of heart eye replies I got to this pic on my story yest meant it HAD to make a grid appearance... When you lot hype me up it makes me so 🥺🥰 ~ I’ve been on quite a journey with my skin (make-up free progress pics coming someday 😬). Last year it was particularly red, spotty, delicate, dry - very uncomfortable. SO not ideal when your job is literally taking pics of yourself 🌝 anyways I never used to be that hot on skincare further than basics, but the past 4 months I’ve been religious with it, it’s helped the texture loads. A month ago I also started acne focussed antiobiotics ‘lymecycline’ (which I’ve been on & off several times as an adult - after being such a smug teen with clear skin 🙃). I’m not going to pretend it’s only down to skincare, because it’s not. Prescribed medication for acne/bacterial infections has helped me SO much - before anyone pipes up that it’s not vegan/cruelty-free: I know. Sadly that is the case for all medications. But this was my choice 🙂 ~ Makeup products cruelty-free always 🐰 (* = ad press sample): 👁 ♥ @profilepluscosmetics Tattooed Brows ♥ @nyxcosmetics_uk Brown Tinted Brow Gel, Contour Palette (for soft brown shadow) ♥ @essence_cosmetics Princess False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara (please note: this is not vegan, I made a mistake & didn’t check before buying but will use until I run out) ♥ @kikomilano Definition Waterproof Eyeliner 💋 ♥ @kvdbeauty ‘Bow N Arrow’ Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ♥ @limecrimemakeup ‘Turkish Delight’ plushie lip veil ✨ ♥ @lauramericer Foundation Primer ♥ @lottielondon Insta Filler ‘Pore Smoother’ ♥ @no7uk ‘Cool Beige’ Essentially Natural Foundation & Beautifully Matte Foundation ♥ @glossier Stretch Concealer ♥ (*) @makeupobsession Mega Conceal ♥ @kvdbeauty Lock-It Setting Powder ♥ @nyxcosmetics_uk Contour Palette ♥ (*) @urbandecaycosmetics All Nighter Setting Spray ~ Editing disclaimer: the only image editing I did was darkening the background behind me (top right) + sharpening the details on my eyes, tattoo & piercings!

... And thou shalt not let them f*ck up the UK mor ... And thou shalt not let them f*ck up the UK more (read the t-shirt) 🖕🏻 an oldie but a goodie - pic taken Dec 2020. ~ The UK local elections are tomorrow (thurs 6th May). I’ve not been particularly vocal in the lead up - compared to how I would usually be before an election. Honestly I’m feeling very apathetic - I’m sure many of you are in the same boat? This feels like nothing more than a teeny tiny drop in the ocean of a complete shitshow in UK politics. ~ The Tories have done nothing well in this messed up time, I see some people praising them for the jab roll out but that was down to the researchers, trials, volunteers administrating it, and the NHS (that the Tories are trying to sell off & privatise). It’s not all thanks to the Tory leadership. Sure they invested money to develop/research - but any government we could’ve currently had (in light of the global pandemic) would’ve been doing that? And we shouldn’t praise them for doing the bare minimum (after their negligence contributed to 128k+ UK deaths). ~ Despite the apathy I WILL of course still visit my local polling station (& I implore anyone feeling the same to still exercise your right to vote). Tomorrow I’ll be voting in a way that will hopefully ensure Tories (& other crap parties/leaders 💩) don’t wiggle in further in London - which factors in to majority seats/control nationally. ~ I really hate the concept of having to vote tactically, rather than for a choice that fully aligns with my views & beliefs. It’s awful feeling like we *have* to choose a lesser of 2 evils. But it seems like by choosing any of the others it’s letting the bad guys in even more. ~ I’ll finish by saying: if you’re reading this, and give a shite about people from all walks of life (as I would hope if you’re following me) make good (tactical 🙃) decisions tomorrow 🥀 (it’s a sad rose for obvious reasons) ~ [ad pr products tagged]
