hi! my name is lauren and i'm a 30 year old weirdo from the uk. i’m a huge dopamine dresser and love anything colourful and visually stimulating. i live with my two best friends, my partner jack and my cat milo 🐈‍⬛ he’s 4 years old and i love him more than i’ve loved anything in my entire life. i’m addicted to cherry pepsi max and pretty much anything cherry flavoured. i

i like to be a generous swapper and often go out to buy my partner things i know they like, rather than sending things i already own... no wonder i'm poor! i think i'm a generous rater too, i will always contact someone first if i don't receive a swap, and let people make it up to me if they didn't fulfil the swap's requirements first time round... i also hand out a lot of hearts - it's prettty easy to impress me! private swaps are always awesome too - let's send each other things! ♪♀♥

i’ve really been into new-tone ska lately! i started listening to we are the union in quarantine and have branched out from there. as i’ve gotten older i’ve found my music tastes are based more and more on the artists vibe rather than their genre. i really enjoy small bands and artists - some of my favourites are half past two, millington, we are the union, jer, skatune network, pinkshift, flyana boss, kids in glass houses and patent pending. i’m enjoy hyperfemme pop music too, like chappell roan, chrissy chlapecka and peach prc!

i’m in my scrapbook era atm! i visited japan in october/november 2025 with my partner and ive been scrapbooking our adventure - it’s so nice to look back on the memories we made! i also love junk journaling and making collages out of items we’d otherwise throw away. making art is better than things going to landfill!

i love gummy and sour sweeties like sour patch kids (the uk ones aren't the same!) & gummy bears the most, but i like pretty much everything! i love chocolate too!

my favourite things!

anything that can be seen as offensive. i'm not offended easily, but anything with super sexism, racist, homophobia, body-shaming etc is a no-go... basically, there's a time and place for being a dick, and if you don't have to be one, don't! i also swear like a sailor so bad language doesn't offend me at all.
