TMI post.

So I started my period after 10 months postpartum and I thought I would use it as an excuse to show my reusable sanitary system (📸)

I use Thinx underwear, which can be used on there own but I prefer to include cloth sanitary pads. Thinx are quite expensive but with my cloth nappy stash, I think the investment is worth it.

My cloth sanitary pads are from Cheeky Wipes. They can be bought in a set of 5 or 10, so cover the duration of a cycle.

I am still breastfeeding my little one and am not planning on stopping any time soon. I will breastfeed as long as my child wants/needs me for comfort or food.

I am not affiliated with any of the websites mentioned.

A young man took his life the day after I finished watching this show. I realize now how important this topic is and that young people especially need to understand how to seek help. Life can get better. There are many people who will be hurt beyond repair without you! You are loved!

Model Ebonee Davis Skewers Racism In Fashion Industry In Brilliant TED Talk

Every black model faces this during her career. And this is terrible. Our society needs to change.Our beauty industry needs to change. We need diversity and give opportunities to models of color, because we live in multicultural world and everybody should be represented in the Media to be inspired by their success, to be able to relate to them. The way models of color are treated is just unacceptable.

A drunk girl at a bar I was at became worried that I wasn’t getting enough nutrition and proceeded to hold peanuts to my lips and just keep saying “peanut peanut” until I would eat it. And after I allowed her to feed me a peanut she pet my hair and said “Thank you”.

How to Change from being a Toxic Person

Even if you hurt other people in the past, or been the kind of person that you really don’t respect, you can always make the decision to change. The tips below might be helpful for this.

1. Look for the good in the people that you meet, and try to empathise, and understand others’ viewpoints.

2. Remind yourself of this: “That it’s not all about you” … and the feelings and the wishes of others matter too.

3. Be polite; try saying “thank you”; and don’t take people for granted. What they did took thought and effort, and it’s nice to be acknowledged.

4. Think before you speak. This will save a lot of grief. For once those words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. They may never be forgotten, and can haunt you later on.

5. Check your tone of voice and the words you choose to use. These can cause misunderstandings, or create a bad impression.

6. Don’t gossip about others; look for things to praise instead.

7. Don’t take the bait and be pulled into arguments. Just let the comment go. You don’t need to rise to that.

8. Make the effort to be kind, and offer others your support. And do something that’s special, and which demonstrates some thought.

So the lovely undeadmachinery​ (Dining with Dana) challenged me to do a comic focused on body positivity and affirming identity through makeup and style - I took waaaay to much time finishing this, hence the summer/beach theme, I know it’s a bit off-topic now but hey, it’s always Summer time somewhere around the world!

Also I bought my first bikini and went to the beach for the first time in 10 years this Summer - so this also a type of celebration comic regarding that occasion - hooray!

To Live a Happy Life ….

1. Make peace with your past – try to let go of the baggage. 2. Don’t pay attention to what others think of you. 3. Don’t compare your life to others’ lives - as you’re not on the same journey. 4. Give yourself time to change, learn and grow. 5. Let go of the pressure to always know the answers. 6. No-one’s in control of your destiny but you. 7. Don’t take yourself and others too seriously.

Reminder: You are under no obligation to look pretty.

Not when you are laying around the house, not when you go to the grocery store, not when you sit in a classroom, not when you go to the gym. You are never obligated to get dressed up just so you are pretty for others.

Pretty is not the rent you pay to exist in the world as a woman.

Be Who You Are.

Don’t waste your life

trying to become somebody else.

Don’t waste your life

imitating others.

Don’t waste your life

living out other people’s expectations.

Don’t waste your life

being envious of other people.

Be authentic.

Be genuine.

Be real.

Be yourself.

You won the lottery - you were born!

You won the lottery - you are you!
