A fearless guide to ditching labels, reclaiming confidence, and embracing freedom for every woman.

Ashley James has just released a new book, Bimbo, and I’m adding it to my shopping basket immediately. The truth is, I’m drawn to books that don’t shy away from the realities women face the constant judgments, the labels, and the expectations that try to define who we should be.

Sunday Times best seller Bimbo: How to Ditch the Labels that Hold Women Back and Reclaim Your Confidence £11 (was £22 50% off), is a book that promises not only to dissect these harmful labels but to empower women to break free from them.

I’m a huge fan of Ashley James who is best known for her advocacy on ITV’s This Morning and across social media. She doesn’t shy away from the tough questions: What if we stopped trying to be “acceptable” and started being free?

This beautifully pink book feels like more than just reading material - it feels like a call to reclaim my confidence and stop trying to fit into boxes that don’t belong to me. Owning it is a small but powerful step toward embracing freedom and self-acceptance. Plus, it’s currently half price on Amazon, which makes it even harder to resist.

Bimbo is bold, honest, and deeply validating. It’s a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt too much or not enough. James challenges women to stop shrinking, stop competing, and start rising together. From “tarty” teens to single women deemed “left on the shelf,” the book encourages embracing individuality rather than conforming to societal expectations.

e.l.f. Cosmetics

Matching foundation and concealer shades can be one of the trickiest parts of any make-up routine 😩 – but e.l.f. Cosmetics say their newly launched Soft Glam collection could make things much simpler.

The Soft Glam Base Covered Duo bundles the Soft Glam Satin Foundation with the Soft Glam Satin Concealer, both available in 36 shades 🎨 covering cool, neutral and warm undertones across fair to rich skin tones. The idea is simple – choose the same shade for both products and create a coordinated base without the usual guesswork.

Both formulas promise lightweight, satin-finish coverage that is buildable, crease-resistant and transfer-resistant ✨ – designed for everyday wear whether you prefer a natural glow or a more polished look.

Even better for shoppers, the duo is currently £10 with code FLAWLESS 💸 – saving £4 compared with buying the products separately.
