The 1990s was an interesting decade. They were my teenage years, I learned to drive, had my first boyfriend and started experimenting with what kind of adult I might become.
Culturally, I remember this as an era when young women were encouraged to believe they could do anything and have it all. We were told that feminist battles had been waged and won and that we now lived in a world where young men and women could believe in equality between the sexes.

When I had my first miscarriage, I spent the weekend in hospital. I bled and I cried and I doubled over in pain. I had been three months pregnant. On Monday, I was back at work.
When I had my second miscarriage, it happened while I was at home. It was also over a weekend, as if my body had chosen to cause minimal fuss. I had been seven weeks pregnant. On Monday, I was back at work.

When she left Love Island she displayed extraordinarily savvy business sense and monetised her new-found fame to the tune of a £500,000 collaboration with online retailer PrettyLittleThing. Recently, she negotiated a rumoured £1 million contract to launch her fifth clothing edit as its brand ambassador. This makes her one of Love Island’s most successful ever contestants – and she’s only 21.
But for me, perhaps a greater marker of her success has been her return to her natural self. For the past few months, Molly-Mae has been documenting her efforts to efface the cosmetic interventions she once thought she needed. Her first step was to dissolve her lip and jaw fillers, then get her composite bonds removed from her teeth. She also swapped her hair extensions for a shoulder-length bob.
