(feat. Daphne & Celeste and Impulse Body Spray energy 💅)
I didn’t wake up one day and choose rebellion.
Rebellion chose me.
Somewhere between glittery lip gloss, a dodgy CD player, and dangerously strong body spray…
✨ she was born ✨
💅 1. Screaming “U.G.L.Y” Like I Had OPPS
Let’s be clear:
I was about 9.
No enemies. No drama. No life experience.
And yet…
“U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi…”
Delivered with the emotional intensity of someone going through a divorce.
WHO WAS I MAD AT???
No idea. But I meant it.
🌸 2. The Body Spray Chemical Warfare Era
One spray? Child.
Two sprays? Risky.
Five sprays before school???
PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD.
Walking into class like:
✨ romantic ✨ mysterious ✨ mildly flammable ✨
Teachers opening windows.
Friends choking.
Me? Unbothered. Scented. Thriving.
🎧 3. Headphones = Immediate Personality Upgrade
The second those headphones went in:
I was NOT listening to my mum
I was NOT aware of my surroundings
I WAS in a music video
Bus window = emotional cinema screen
Rain on glass = character development
Absolutely nothing happening = STILL DRAMATIC
💄 4. Lip Gloss So Sticky It Could Trap a Small Animal
This wasn’t lip gloss.
This was:
✨ IDENTITY ✨
Hair stuck to lips? Yes.
Wind betrayal? Constant.
Confidence? THROUGH THE ROOF.
📺 5. Watching Stuff I “Wasn’t Allowed” (But Quietly Did Anyway)
Volume: 6
Door: slightly closed
Heart rate: 200 bpm
The SECOND footsteps approached:
change channel
sit normally
become angel
Method acting? Oscar-worthy.
🌀 6. The “I Know Things Now” Phase (I Did Not)
Heard one slightly grown-up lyric and suddenly:
I was wise
I was experienced
I had SEEN the world
Reality: still needed help finding my PE kit.
👜 7. The Bag Full of Secrets (aka absolute nonsense)
Every “rebel” needs a stash:
Lip gloss (x3 minimum)
Body spray
Random magazine cut-outs
A pen that didn’t work
Emotional baggage (optional but present)
💃 8. Practising Attitude in the Mirror
You KNOW the one.
Head tilt
Eye roll
Hair flick
Me: “Don’t mess with me.”
Also me: scared of ordering at McDonald’s.
🧃 9. Acting Like I Had a Double Life
School me: 😊
Home me: 😊
Alone with music me:
✨ international pop icon with a complicated past ✨
💖 10. Realising… This WAS My Rebellion
Not sneaking out.
Not breaking rules.
Just:
feeling EVERYTHING
loving pop culture a bit too hard
creating entire worlds in my head
And honestly?
That kind of rebellion builds empires.
💖 Final Thought
I wasn’t a “bad kid.”
I was:
✨ dramatic
✨ imaginative
✨ slightly over-scented
✨ and deeply committed to the bit
And somewhere between Daphne & Celeste and an aggressively applied body spray…
✨ I became THAT girl. ✨
💅 Daisy Says:
“Babes, if your rebellion involved lip gloss, pop music, and turning a bus ride into a music video…
you didn’t misbehave.
You DEVELOPED LORE.” 💖✨
