  • I've given my pillpot system an overhaul because it was turning into a total disaster... missed medication, missing pots and no easy way of transporting my daily pills in a way that didn't end up all over my bag (or the floor!). So far, I've been really impressed with CareCo's range... What do you think?@careco_mobilityAdPR GiftedVD: A white woman, with brown curly hair, wearing a pink hoodie that reads 'it's been a long time coming...'. She is showing two pill organiser systems.

  • The year was 2016… I could be found taking ‘#OOTD’ photos and blogging on my first website, Pumpkins and Planners (does everyone remember when #ThrowbackThursday was a thing!?).Although now I get to work with the lovely @chronicallyjenni (which is a dream!), 2016 Mali was once very inspired by blogger Jenni’s hair and makeup…I vividly remember doing this hairstyle all the time - let it be noted, I am an OG Chronically Jenni follower - nowadays I get to actually hangout with Jenni and get excited with her as she plans for her wedding (pinch me!). Still not quite sure what I’m going to wear 🤔2016 was the year I got my first bottle of the iconic ‘Incredible Things’ fragrance from @taylorswift too. I can’t believe to so rare to find nowadays ✨2016 Mali wouldn’t be able to believe how far 2026 Mali has come - I’m still not over my blogging phase 🤣VD: A blurry photo of me modelling a pink lace top over some blue jeans with my hair up in milkmaid braids. Followed by a photo of me close up (a selfie) with milkmaid braids, the next photo being my inspiration where Jenni has them. Then a photo of my fragrance collection and some dodgy outfit photos involving Converses which were standard uniform in 2016.
