Gorgeous gorgeous girls live their lives between the pages of a book.
Last year for me, it was 24 books to be exact. I bought a second bookshelf, started organising my books in colour order*, made a Goodreads account and create a bookstagram account. I am truly back in my 'hot girl reading' era and thriving. My self-set challenge for the year had been to read 52 books and though I barely made it halfway, it was a phenomenally good reading year. I read more good books than bad and discovered some authors I love.
Life experience provides the context through which we see the world. Evidently, as a child of a colonised nation, my views of the monarchy are coloured by such experiences.
Living in the age of social media has made lots of information [and misinformation] much more accessible than it has been in the past so consider this blog post your curated guide to what you ACTUALLY need to know about embarking on a skincare journey.
There has come to be very little variation in what 'healthy' looks like. To be quite blunt, a lot of the wider society's views of what healthy food can be are meals that are mainstream for the white, non-immigrant portion of the population. 'White is best' seems to be what is preached in the majority of diet messaging, heavily implying that other cultures' foods are unhealthy or bad for you.
The only clarity Payne's Impaulsive podcast interview provided was an unshakeable certainty that we are never getting a One Direction reunion of any kind. Pass me a tissue, please.
Doing something as simple as calling it 'men's violence against women' brings this dominant group back into the conversation and places the onus where it should be; on the male perpetrators rather than using language that makes this a passive issue or suggests that this kind of violence just happens. With that in mind, let's get into this.
Was Outlander trying to avoid bringing up some traumatic subjects for the sake of entertainment or did none of the show's writers deign it necessary to centre a non-white narrative?
From formulations to products and ingredients, k-beauty is where I look to better grasp what's new and hot in the skincare world. With that in mind, this post is not about ingredients that are new to everyone. These are ingredients that we have been seeing in k-beauty for years that have started to make an appearance in the formulations of western skincare products.
I've said before that enacting lasting change takes more than words. It takes action and it takes money. Money that the majority of us either don't have or need to allocate to something else e.g. rent, utilities or groceries. Mike Schur's "The Good Place" once said there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and that's very sexy of them.

As that iconic tweet says; "I support women's rights. But I also support women's wrongs. I love when they do bad things." Better yet, I love when they do revenge.
