A SWEAR-BY BEAUTY TIP 
SPF on your face, neck, AND chest!! 
A SWEAR-BY HAIR TIP 
Buy a scalp massager for washing your hair, it is so relaxing
A SMALL JOY 
Sleeping with an eye mask on and ear plugs in
HAIR WASH ROUTINE 
Once a fortnight! Get hair soaking wet, lather shampoo up with a scalp massager twice, condition once. Pat lightly dry, add a hair mask, plait (I have dead straight hair), pop in my very cute polar bear hair wrap and blast with a hairdryer to warm up the mask
WHY DIZZIAK 
Results obviously but also the SMELL. It's actually addictive. Also it's convenient to run to the high street/supermarket shelves - but every product you buy can be replaced by a Black woman/femme/non-binary business - run them their money and credit!
GREAT HAIR MEMORY 
The first time I perfected a hair bun without having to use bobby pins - you twist your ponytail around and around then tuck the end into the hair tie
NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY
The time a classmate dared me to cut my hair off so I grabbed the scissors and cut a chunk of it off from the root
ICONIC FIGURE 
@Nadi9Nadim - The best women's football striker who just happens to be a reconstructive surgeon, refugee, record-breaker and maker, sibling/daughter/niece of an entire family of badass women
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW
Trinidad because @tenilleclarke1 and I need to sing and dance to Break My Soul together!! 
ONE THING YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO 
Be a producer on a food travel TV series so I can do all the research and eating behind the scenes and meet aunties all over the world
BEST PIECE OF ADVICE
When you turn something off say “off” out loud so you don't have the "is my hair straightener/oven/heating on" panic when you're out and about
