Chloe Cavv, from Scotland, took to social media to reveal how she makes £75 an hour.
The blonde beauty shared that she became a dog walker, which soon turned into her full-time income.
In the clip, she said: "How much I made today as a dog walker."
Chloe said she only worked from 8am to 3pm, which is less than the average nine-hour day and gets you home in time for the school run.
As Chloe does group dog walks for different clients, she is able to make £75 in just one hour.
She later revealed that while she did get qualifications like dog first aid, pet sitting and dog walking online, they weren't essential to get started.
"You don't actually need it to be honest! But it's great background knowledge to have."
In total, Chloe was able to make £212 in six hours, over 50% of what the average person makes in the UK, which is £94.55 after tax.
The dog walker admitted that she could definitely take more clients on if she wanted, but decided she wanted a better work/life balance.
She wrote: "I probably could add more, but I've learned the hard way that an easier life/less greed is the way forward.
I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy
"Less stress, I've got my steady clients now."
The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @chloecavv with over 927k views and people were quick to share their thoughts.
Many were stunned at how much she got paid, especially when it looked like so much fun.
One person wrote: "Not bad that for a few hours of fun, that's not work, love it."
Another commented: "That's brilliant! I know how much work goes into it though I'd be so tired."
Side hustles in numbers
Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income.
Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024.
Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income.
Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one.
Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way.
"Best job ever! I'm really struggling to find fields to rent where I live, do you have any advice please?," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I want this life."
"Well done girl, dream job right there,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Congratulations, you are doing what you love whilst earning a wage."

Boots brings nostalgic budget-friendly brand known for their mascaras back

The high street beauty chain is adding hundreds of new products to their shelves in 2025, with three viral brands now available to shop in store and online While filling a cosmetics bag can prove pretty costly, particularly with everyone scrambling to try the latest viral sensations and new launches, there certainly seems to be a growing appetite for affordable makeup once again. And Boots is cementing its status as the go-to retailer for exactly that, with the launch of not one, but three budget-friendly brands both in store and online. With the rise of social media, there was a surge in shoppers opting for more luxury products and celebrity favourites. However, with the cost of living crisis and customers getting more savvy, shopping habits have shifted, with more beauty fans looking for high-performing products that don't drain the bank. This summer, the retailer has announced the launch of three of TikTok's most talked about brands - one of which will no doubt bring nostalgic joy for many after. It comes as the high street favourite is set to see more than 400 new cosmetics lines landing in the coming months. Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Boots isn't the only retailer leaning into the budget-friendly beauty trend, either, as this week saw the launch of Trouble Maker into Superdrug. The bold new brand promises innovation at pocket-money friendly prices, with prices starting from £2. Meanwhile, Sephora's own brand Sephora Collection offers a range of cosmetics, skincare and more from £1.99, with more than 450 product lines to choose from. The three brands that have hit shelves at Boots this week are Catrice, an affordable German brand, alongside SheGlam making its UK debut, and the much-missed Essence will be returning to the high street, delighting customers who have been begging to see it make a comeback. After the closure of Wilko stores across the UK, Essence was like gold dust, but Boots is making it easier than ever to get your hands on. Known for Lash Princess mascaras and Juicy Bomb Shiny Glosses, the brand delivers ultra-affordable prices starting from £1.29. One product expected to be a hit is their Jelly Grip Hydrating Primer, which costs £3.99. If we had to liken it to a more expensive product, we'd say its tacky formula works in a similar way to Milk's Hydro Grip Primer, which retails at £35. Catrice is another name dominating TikTok right now, racking up over 26 million views in the past week alone. The clean, cruelty-free and vegan brand has been praised for products like the Aqua Splash Grip Primer and Under Eye Brightener, which have earned loyal followings for their quality and accessible price point. The Catrice range's most expensive product is £6.99 for their Soft Glam Filter Fluid, which has been likened to Charlotte Tilbury's £39 Flawless Filter. And available on the high street for the first time ever is SheGlam - a trend-led brand loved for its Pout-Perfect Lip Plumper and Colour Bloom Liquid Blush. Their products range from £2.99 to £8.50, proving shoppers no longer need to spend a small fortune on restocking their kit. Speaking on the latest launches, Alice Rafferty, Director of Luxury Beauty and Cosmetics at Boots said: 'Boots is proud to be bringing a growing lineup of socially native, trending beauty brands to the high street. Beauty lovers want to test, trial, and play before they buy, and now they can experience some of the most buzzworthy, viral brands in person at Boots stores nationwide. By staying closely tuned into emerging trends and listening to what our customers want to see on our shelves, we're continuing to elevate our beauty offering, making the latest social media sensations more accessible than ever.' The beauty boom doesn't stop there, though, with Boots also expanding the ranges of other social media-famous brands like Tirtir, the K-beauty label behind the viral Red Cushion Foundation, and Sacheu, known for innovative multi-use products. Sacheu is expanding its range to include more product lines for eye, cheek and lip, such as its Cheek STAY-N and Brow & Freckle STAY-N, which will launch in over 90 Boots stores. Meanwhile K-Beauty brand Tirtir, famed for its game-changing Red Cushion Foundation, will be available on the UK high street for the first time, launching in 30 Boots stores nationwide. Shoppers can test and trial its range of 23 foundation shades, alongside other new, viral-worthy products like the Glide and Hide Blurring Concealer and Waterism Glow Tint. Both brands launched at Boots earlier this year under its new accelerator programme, which identifies and rapidly brings the biggest viral and emerging new brands to the high street. As a result, if you've seen it buzzing on TikTok, there's a good chance it could be coming to the high street not too long after.

Sainsbury's 'gorgeous' £24 summer top reminds fans of Damson Madder The retailer has delighted fashion fans with the 'stunning' top that has some saying it resembles another popular brand Fashion lovers said they 'need' the denim look (Image: Sainsbury's Tu) Shoppers say they love a 'gorgeous' £24 top that looks like it could be from Damson Madder. Sainsbury's Tu shoppers heaped praise on the retailer's Denim Gingham Bow Tie Blouse when it was highlighted on TikTok. ‌ The trending blouse is available in sizes eight to 26. There's also a £26 Denim Gingham Collared Mini Dress for fans looking for a similar style. For those with their heart set on the blouse, the denim top is available to shop online or in-store. ‌ The style boasts a striking gingham print, which could be styled with summer or autumn looks. There's also an attention-grabbing bow, inspired by one of 2025's most popular trends. ‌ The product description states: "A modern take on the classic blouse, this piece comes in blue denim with a gingham print throughout - featuring a tie neck collar, button fastening, and long sleeves. It's a staple choice for weekend outings, great styled with neutral camel tones." Sainsbury's adds that the style is 100% cotton and it is machine washable. The style went viral in a post shared by TikTok user @thesoloshopper, which gained over 25,000 views and thousands of likes. The caption said: "Damson Madder [alternative] at TU Sainsburys? TU new in is giving autumn vibes and I am here for it!" Content cannot be displayed without consent Article continues below Fashion fans shared the sentiment. One commenter said: "I looked at that yesterday. Lovely quality too," and @ thesoloshopper agreed: " It really is! They've done well with this one." Another wrote: "Oh wow." Someone else shared: "OMG I LOVE HERRRR." More praise read: "This is stunning," while a keen shopper added: "No stop it!! I simply need it." Replying to a different comment, @ thesoloshopper wrote: "Gorgeous isn't she." Yet another positive comment said: "RUNNING TO SAINOS," and a Sainsbury's fan added: "TU clothing always has good stuff!" @ thesoloshopper agreed, saying: "Always!! So much better than a lot of high street shops now." ‌ Although the shopper didn't reference a particular Damson Madder style, the Sainsbury's blouse arguably looks similar to something shoppers could find from the sustainable fashion brand. The brand's designs often go viral, featuring details such as colourful prints, oversized collars, and bows, reports the Mirror. Sainsbury's Denim Gingham Bow Tie Blouse (Image: Sainsbury's) For shoppers who aren't familiar with the brand, Damson Madder says quality is central to its design ethos. The website states: "Every Damson Madder piece is crafted to endure, to be worn, loved, and reworn. Our hope is that through considered design and intentional production, our garments become long-standing fixtures in your wardrobe — never destined for landfill, but made to last." Article continues below The beloved brand does offer sales, but the prices are usually higher than those offered by supermarket retailers such as Sainsbury's. For example, Damson Madder's Mari vest top- red gingham costs £42.50 on sale, marked down from £85. Of course, shoppers will have their own preferences. However, for those seeking a denim blouse under £30, the Sainsbury's style might be just the thing. Alternatively, fashion fans could prefer the Denim Gingham Collared Mini Dress. The product description says: "This denim dress is an easy-to-wear piece which adds classic styling to your wardrobe. Designed in a gingham print, it comes in a mini length. Adorned with a collar detail and tie-fastening, finished with buttons at the front."

Keep your towels luxuriously soft and fluffy with expert's seven simple steps

There's nothing worse than stepping out of the bath or shower and drying yourself off with a stiff and scratchy towel Everyone relishes the sensation of enveloping themselves in a plush, fluffy towel after a soothing shower or bath. However, over time, towels can become abrasive and rigid, making this experience far less luxurious and more bothersome. ‌ Fortunately, you don't have to endure this with your towels, regardless of their age. Molly Freshwater, Founder of Secret Linen Store, has divulged her top expert advice for ensuring your bath towels remain sumptuously soft and fluffy throughout the year. ‌ How often to wash towels as some Brits admit to only doing it once a year Dust will stay off blinds and windowsills if wiped down with 1 common household item ‌ Less is more Her initial advice is to go easy on the detergent. High-quality bath towels should feel dense and lavish; however, due to this, the detergent can be more challenging to remove during rinse cycles than other materials, reports the Express. If you're using too much, it will build up over time and may result in your towels feeling hard and stiff. It's also crucial to use a gentle detergent, as towels are made from natural fibres like cotton. Harsh detergents can inflict permanent damage to these fibres. Detergent add-ins Another suggestion is to add a splash of vinegar to the wash. To soften towels, try adding 250ml of white vinegar to your wash alongside your regular laundry liquid. ‌ Simply pour the vinegar directly into the drum before loading your towels, and start the cycle as usual. The vinegar works by breaking down any detergent residue or mineral build-up in the fibres, which can leave towels feeling coarse. It helps to restore softness and absorbency without harsh chemicals, leaving your towels fresh and cosy. Don't fret about your towels smelling like vinegar - it will all be washed away, leaving just the scent of fresh, clean laundry. Keep it cool Temperature is also key to keeping towels soft. It can be tempting to put your laundry on hot to get them extra squeaky clean but this can actually make them stiff. ‌ Like harsh detergents, hot water can strip the natural fibres of their softness, leaving them rough and less absorbent. To keep them fresh and soft, Molly recommends washing your towels at a cooler temperature, between 30 and 40 degrees. Give them space Even if it is easier to just chuck all the towels in the same wash, this can actually make them crispy and won't get them properly clean. When there are too many towels in the machine, the detergent and fabric conditioner can't rinse out properly. For the best results, try washing your towels in smaller loads. ‌ This way, the detergent gets a chance to properly rinse out, leaving your towels feeling soft, fluffy, and ready to use after every wash. Keep it natural A tumble dryer can be your best friend when it comes to towels, but it could also be making them feel stiff and scratchy. For that perfectly soft feel, use a low heat setting and remove them while they're still slightly damp before hanging them up outside. ‌ Alternatively, harness the power of nature and hang them outside on a windy day. The wind acts as a natural agitator, keeping those fibres wonderfully soft. Give it a shake Want to keep your towels super soft and absorbent? Give them a good shake both before and after drying, whether they're going into the tumble dryer or onto the washing line. ‌ This simple step helps to loosen the fibres and encourages better airflow, leading to softer results. Once they're dry, another shake will prevent stiffness and maintain their beautiful fluffiness. Store them cleverly How you store your towels can make a big difference to their softness. Folding them too tightly or burying them under heavy stacks can flatten the fibres, making them feel stiff over time. To preserve their delightful softness and absorbency, store them loosely with enough space for air to circulate. This simple storage tip helps them maintain their fluffiness and keeps them feeling fresh for longer.
