Raising Young Adults & The Born to Be Wild Years (with Shelley Loves)

She's been on the list for years. She was worth the wait. Welcome to the pod, Shelley.This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by the wonderful Shelley Jackson, better known as @_shelleyloves, the Manchester based qualified stylist and high street aficionado who has been building one of the most genuinely warm and relatable communities on Instagram for nearly a decade. From starting a blog on New Year's Day just to tell her friends where Daisy's dress was from, to 200k followers and counting, Shelley's story is one of the best and she's exactly as lovely in person as she comes across online.The reality of running an Instagram account when you've got kids, a house and a life — and why the bath is actually the secret weapon for getting your work done without the kids seeing you on your phone. Shelley also shares her non-negotiable skincare routine, her thoughts on why authenticity is the only thing that actually works on Instagram anymore, and the very specific 90s outfit involving a Born to Be Wild t shirt, a checked skirt and over the knee socks that she thought was absolutely the bee's knees.How Shelley built her community from a New Year's Day blog to 200k followersThe reality of full time content creation as a mum and why the balance doesn't really existShelley's non-negotiable skincare routine — Heritage Store rosewater, Hada Labo hyaluronic acid, Doctor Sam's moisturiser and why she never straysMagnesium salts, Merit and the beauty products she'd never part withRaising young adults and the realities (and anxiety) of dealing with a daughter at universityShell suits, velvet trousers and the Born to Be Wild era nobody needs to revisitSocial battery, school runs and why even the friendliest people need a week to recover from a night outFind Shelley: @_shelleyloves on Instagram and TikTokInstagram: @schoolrunwaypodLeave us a voice note: https://sayhi.chat/oeks4Don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify! xPlease note: the health and wellbeing information discussed in this episode, including the benefits of magnesium, is based on personal experience and opinion only.
