The Little Personal Touch

05/10/2026

Good morning, and Happy Monday everyone! 💗

I’ll be completely honest last week was a really tough one for me personally, and I've been struggling with my mental health quite a bit. When things feel like one thing after the other, it's easy to spiral. But showing up, focusing, and pouring my energy into my businesses is keeping me going right now.

I also want to say a massive thank you for all the messages asking about the Magical Minds affiliate program! 🥺 I am so close to finishing the website, so it will be open very soon. You’ve all been asking for it loads, and I'm so excited hopefully, all this hard work pays off and the business gets the recognition it truly deserves.

Just a reminder for anyone new here…every single profit made from Magical Minds goes straight into a dedicated fund pot for my little boy. I don't touch a single penny of it every bit is spent on getting him the things he needs, like sensory items for his room, fun days out, and making his world a little brighter. 🩵✨

Let’s try to make this week a good one. Thank you, as always, for sticking by me and supporting my little business. Let's get to work! 🥰

Well, my inbox is officially blowing up! 🥹📲

I am completely blown away by the response to my affiliate post, thank you all so much for the incredible feedback and enthusiasm! I'm reading through your messages as fast as I can. 🤍

Meanwhile, my laptop hasn't been switched on in about a year, so it's currently holding me hostage with a massive update sequence! 😭😂 Once it finally wakes up, I’ll be diving straight into creating the website and sorting everything out behind the scenes.

Thank you all for being so amazing. Watch this space! 🥰🙌✨

I’ve had so many new friend requests and followers recently so I thought it was well past time for a proper introduction! 🥰

Hello!👋 I’m Kaitlin, 24 and originally from Birmingham, but now living in Warwickshire! 🏡💖

I’m a proud mum to my little boy, Ezra (who keeps me on my toes!), and two adorable new kittens, Oreo and Cookie, who joined our family a couple of weeks ago! 🐾😻

Online working is my absolute passion, I’ve been doing it for the last 8 years, and truly love meeting and connecting with new people every single day.🫶

Behind the scenes, I currently run three online small businesses:
🎁 The Little Personal Touch – Personalised & bespoke gifts made with love.
🌈 Magical Minds – A special educational needs business where all profits go directly towards my little boy.
🛍️ The Little Treasure Trove – Our boutique and homeware business!

A little fun fact about me: I am currently learning to drive! 🚗 It’s something I’ve put off for so long and overthought a million times, but I finally decided right, I’m going to go for it and do it and I will! 🤍 Any profits I make right now are going straight into a car savings fund, so I am working super hard for it and can't wait to pass and get my first set of wheels exciting!!😍

If you're wondering why I mostly like to work online, I live with a severe anxiety disorder and mental health problems, meaning I very rarely go out to large or busy places and my lovely beautiful little boy Ezra is autistic and only feels safe, happy and settled with me as he struggles to adapt to new environments and new people. Because of that, connecting with you all on here, chatting, and building this little corner of the internet means more to me than words can say and I honestly love you all! It’s what I enjoy doing and works perfectly around my life circumstances.😊🫶

In my spare time (when I actually get any haha!), I love treating myself to getting my nails and lashes done, having a nice cup of tea or coffee, and unwinding. ☕💅✨

Thank you all so much for following along, supporting my dreams, and being such an amazing community. I’d love to get to know you too so drop a comment below and tell me where you're from or something fun about you! 👇💖

You don’t need fake friends.
You don’t need fake supporters.
And you definitely don’t need people who only show up when it benefits them.

As a small business owner, you quickly learn that support isn’t about words it’s about actions.

It’s easy to say “I support your business!”
But real support looks like:

💕 Liking your posts
💕 Sharing your work
💕 Commenting and engaging
💕 Recommending you to others
💕 Celebrating your wins
💕 Checking in when things aren’t going so well
💕 And simply being genuinely happy to see you succeed.

You don’t need hundreds of people around you.

You need the right people.

The ones who clap for you when nobody else is clapping.
The ones who don’t disappear when you’re struggling.
The ones who support you without expecting something in return.

And honestly?

I’d rather have a small circle of genuine people than a crowd full of fake support. 🤍

Protect your energy.
Protect your peace.
Keep building.
Keep growing.
And keep showing up for yourself. ✨

Real recognises real. 🫶🏻
