June has brought a fresh burst of energy to Cheekymono, with the launch of The Curious Club, a special Summer Solstice Family Yoga session, exciting plans for July, and fresh inspiration in the studio. From colourful prints and Peruvian treasures to community connections and creative adventures, it’s all about embracing more colour, more joy and more thoughtful living.

May has been a month full of learning, sunshine and exciting new beginnings. From completing my Kids Yoga Teacher Training at Triyoga to teaching family yoga sessions on The Leas, planning Curious Club and preparing for new children's yoga classes, there's plenty to share as we look ahead to a busy summer.

A new chapter for Cheekymono as I return to teaching yoga for children and families. Exploring movement, creativity and connection in Sandgate, Folkestone, and why supporting children through art and yoga feels more important than ever.

As 2025 comes to a close, cheekymono reflects on a year of creativity, handmade milestones, and meaningful impact. Thanks to your support, five children at Project Peru Refuge received a week of care this Christmas.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited the Sandgate Christmas Makers Market! Every purchase helps support the children at Project Peru Refuge. Celebrate the season, shop local, and make a difference this Christmas.

December brings festive joy, a beautiful Christmas Makers Market, and a personal update as I navigate a new Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. I’m grateful for this community, excited to share new creations, and thankful for your support for Cheekymono and Project Peru.

This year, I’m proudly celebrating Colour Friday — a brighter, more meaningful alternative to the Black Friday rush. It’s about creativity, conscious shopping and supporting small businesses that make beautiful things with care.

The cheekymono Christmas Shop is here — full of thoughtful, sustainable gifts, decorations and festive finds. From stocking fillers to prints and cards, discover what’s new, what’s coming soon, and why we’re proudly celebrating Colour Friday over Black Friday this year.

What a weekend! My Sip & Shop pop-up at Sandgate Deli was filled with colour, creativity, and community spirit. The kids got crafty with Halloween collages and Día de los Muertos bunting, while the grown-ups enjoyed my famous Pisco cocktails. A huge thank you to everyone who came, shopped, and supported — together we’ve helped fund another week of care for children at the Project Peru refuge.

October has arrived, and it’s buzzing with colour, creativity, and a little spooky fun! From back-to-school worry dolls helping little ones settle, to bright new hand-painted art prints, and our Sip & Shop Pop-Up at Sandgate Deli with Halloween crafts and fairtrade finds — there’s lots to celebrate this season. Plus, a special update: I’ll be closing my Petticoat Lane Emporium stall from 16 October, but you can still shop online and join upcoming events!

Exciting news! CheekyMono now has a permanent stall inside the brand new Peticote Lane Emporium in Folkestone. Packed with colourful prints, products and joyful vibes, the stall was lovingly designed using upcycled materials and dopamine-inspired décor. Come explore it in person, support small, and be part of something good — every visit helps me grow this little brand with big heart!

Since my last market in 2022 (when I was nine months pregnant!), life has been full on. We welcomed our baby boy Solomon, moved to the seaside town of Folkestone, and now — finally — cheekymono is back! I'm excited (and a little nervous) to be returning to markets, starting with Sandgate Primary's Summer Sizzle Fayre. Come say hi and shop the latest prints and playful designs, all crafted with love.
