At a time when many of life's little luxuries have been taken away or at least put on hold,

our sponsor Ole is here to ensure we can all still indulge in some of the finer things in life.

I am in love with their retinal collection. I have tried all the creams, lads, and I mean all of them.

And this makes my skin feel incredible. Really glowy, really strong,

really bright, which in winter is a tricksy old thing. With Olae, I can face anything. Seriously,

anything. And there's a lot going on.'s be honest my husband's old fleece

having room in my recycling bin of a Tuesday

and a proper ugly cry

there are a million things I'm thankful for today

but what is my guest thankful for?

I'm very grateful to have met grief at such a young age. I have seen grief coming to the lives

of my friends at 3040 and finish them. Welcome to Thanks a Million. I'm Angela Scanlan and this is

the show that takes a sneaky look at my guest's gratitude list to find out the things that have shaped their lives.

Today's fabulous guest is Candace Brathwaite. You might know her as the author or as a mummy blogger as they're called.

She's also the founder of Make Motherhood Diverse, a platform that celebrates authentic experiences of motherhood.

Her debut book, I Am Not Your Baby Mother, about being a Black British mother, the first book

by a Black British woman on motherhood. The Mind Boggles. It was published in May 2020 by Quircas

and made the Sunday Times bestseller list.

Before we pop into the Epp, I'm going to share a couple of your thanks a million trios,

which you've still been sharing with me on Instagram, and I absolutely love them.

Lucia, that my little five-year-old girl says, I love you, mummy, every time.

It's just the two of us holding hands.
