Danielle-Lineker-my-new-s-006

Do you remember back in April, I told you that I was filming with a celebrity for a BBC3 documentary? Well, the show was Danielle Lineker: My New Step Family and it aired last night at 9pm…You can watch it here, I’m about 26 minutes in and as well as hearing my words o’ wiseness as an agony aunt and checking out my cute hair foliage, you also get a sneaky peek at the Mizz magazine offices too - hurrah!

The programme is about how when Danielle Lineker married Gary in 2009, she became stepmum to his four teenage sons. With her oldest stepson George only 12 years younger than her, Danielle finds her new role a challenge. What’s the secret to a successful stepfamily? How should she behave to avoid being the wicked stepmother?

This intimate and honest documentary follows Danielle on her journey to understand stepfamilies, the fastest growing family type in Britain. And on the way, she learns some home truths about herself and her new family.

Inside info: Danielle was quite possibly the nicest celeb I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a fair few. She was funny, down-to-earth and really genuine. Oh and ridiculously pretty, obv.

compliment

Hola Pink Ladies! So, yesterday, I was shopping in town and a gorgeous girl came up to me to tell me how nice my shoes were - they are pretty - I also got told I looked like Cleopatra and that I had a pretty flower in my hair - I was like a walking-talking compliment collecting machine!

As you know, like Lola I collect compliments in a jar for those icky, not-nice days when I feel glumsville personified. They’re the perfect pick-me-up and a compliment will always make you stand taller, smile and feel good about yourself - what’s not to love about that? Which is why I want to encourage you gorgeous girls to become Compliment-giving girls o’ fabulousness!

How to give a compliment…

1. Don’t be fake - don’t say something you don’t mean, as it’ll just sound flaky and false.
2. Telling someone how great they look is a great way to spread the love - has your gal-pal got a bag you love? Tell her! Does your bro look better when he’s combed his hair? Tell him! Has your mumma started wearing a new eyeshado that brings out the colour in her eyes? Tell her!
3. Don’t feel you have to justify the comment - a compliment shouldn’t be given in return for another, nor should it mean you’re creeping or that you want something. Sometimes the best compliments are given in passing. Like the lady who said I had great shoes yesterday, she was literally passing me in the street, I didn’t even have time to say thank you, although I did shout it after her…There was no doubt it made me walk taller for the rest of the day!
4. Keep it simple. Send love through your eyes and your voice and imagine your lil’ gesture of goodness is like a bunch o’ blooming flowers.

Are you in?! I wanna hear about it!

Hola Pink Ladies - hope you’re all fabu! I’m sorry all has been quiet in the world o’ pink, but you’ll be pleased to know I’m currently working on a brand new series of books - wohhhooo! In fact, I’ve come to my happy place, Glastonbury - not the festival, I mean seriously? Where would I plug my straighteners?! - to finish writing the first book! I can’t give too much away just yet, but what I can tell you is that the main character is just as kooky as Lola, and she lives in this caravan…how cool?!!!

Hope you’re all enjoying this sunshine-y weather - I’m catsitting for a friend in Glasto, so I’m sitting in the shade filling pages with words about the girl that lives in this caravan - tell me what you’re all getting up to!
