Weekend recap.
Cute looks, market mornings, home body moments 🦪
Yesterday was winter solstice: a point of pause in the year. A deep breath before the dive into something else.
My mother always used to tell me, when I was young, that I shouldn't wish time away because when I was older it would go too fast...and boy, was she right. Winter has begun in earnest, and I'm so thankful for this season. I haven't had enough of the cold and the slow down and the comfort that winter carries with her. I'm not ready to give her up just yet.
I wish I could always fill up my cup in the ways that I wanted to. Since we don't always get what we want, I hope I can find a way to fill it up in the way I need to:
Nature
Cooking good food
Creating
Seeing new local places
What fills your cup?

35 as a millennial feels weird. I don't have the life my mother had or the one her mother had. No kids (thankfully) but also no home or car to my name, which is what we were raised to expect to have by now. I'm starting to see that there are certain paths I'll have to hack out of the jungle for myself and if I don't, the result will be staying stuck in a thicket that I could probably have gotten out of. And no one wants to stay stuck.
Life is constantly throwing up little and not so little challenges and revelations. The planet is in peril, the humanity of humans seems to be at an all-time low and we're supposed to what, keep watching "reality" TV like that's not all happening outside our front doors? (Disclaimer: I do watch a lot of reality TV🤣) I've recently come to understand the idea of "life's terms" a little better and also come to grips with that fact that I'm constantly finding myself and that I do still matter, and finding ME is important even against a backdrop of the wild things going down in our time. Put on your own mask first, you know? I lose little bits along the way sometimes, but then I get to rediscover things about myself or find them out for the first time.
There's no single destination, I guess. Just all these stops we have to make on a really long trip. New things to find, old things to re-visit, places you know you never want to go again.
I don't even know if i was trying to make a single point, just sharing where I'm at. Where are you guys at with life, the universe, and everything?

Film from my first experience 🎞
I tried to write a whole long post about all the feels I'm in, but then I just thought...why? People are going to think what they think, and if they're dedicated to that thought, nothing will change their minds.
The right people are here to give to and take from this community because community IS give and take. And I'm glad to have you all🤎
Philadelphia on film
It was so sweet stopping off at the one lonely shop in the village to get rusks and ending up chatting to the Oom behind the counter for about half an hour about his very good dog and how much he loved her and how amazing and special she was. There's nothing like a small town.

Let this be a time of walking in the woods, learning about language, tracing legends back to their source, cooking delicious food and loving more deeply than ever.
There is never a better time to start than now.

They say you miss things when you're gone, and let me tell you, my tummy has missed those magic anti bloat pills and/ or the pre/probiotic! I don't know how I did it, but I ran out of those two earlier than my hormone pills, and my body has been sad. That tells me that whatever balancing these magic little pills are doing is working!
Balance in a bottle. Can't wait to re-stock.
So long, sweet summer.
I stumbled upon you and gratefuly basked in your rays.

This partnership could not have come at a better time! Some of you might know that I decided to take myself off the pill after almost eight years. I just felt that my body didn't need all that crap in it, I wanted to do things in a more natural way. Enter @kikovitals . Instead of supplements that put more things into my body, Kiko's natural ingredients aim to help the female body find balance in itself. They were kind enough to gift me their Hormone Balance (thank GOD), Debloat & Gut Glow, and their Pre & Probiotic. They were also kind enough to throw in a consultation with an amazing naturopath because I'm skeptical about all supplements, and to explain in minute detail how this range is tailored to support balance instead of forcing more things into my system. You know that I will never ever recommend a brand that I don't use or wear or haven't tried to great effect myself. So I'm super excited to try these natural remedies over the next three months -a good amount of time for anything to take hold and start working- and I'll tell you as I go along how they're working for me. I'll monitor myself physically and emotionally to see what changes take place and share them all with you. The reviews for Kiko are stellar, and it's been directly recommended to me more than once, so I can't wait for this natural goodness to work its way into my body and start helping.
Coffee and a new haircut, s'il vous plait! Changing it up a little later this week 💇🏽♀️ Wearing @we_are_titch from head to toe, shot by @capetowncontent
Chatting to a friend yesterday, I'm realizing this has been a tough month so far for lots of people for a number of reasons. January is a weird, transitional time. Nothing feels sure steady under my feet, life seems to be knocking me back and leaving me with minimal YES moments, work, and inspiration. I need some rejuvenaton and time in nature so badly! How is January treating everyone out there? Let's share wins to lift people up and share losses to help carry that load.
The day I took this video I felt so at peace. Happy, relaxed, in my zone. Today is NOT a day like that. Today I felt like a fat (fat is not a bad word, but today im feeling all the hate and musery that go along with the usual perception of it), panting mess. Badly put together, sloppy, like none of the garments and shoes that I've worked really hard to curate for myself are worth sh*t on me. I was rushing around town and seapoint trying to squeeze content out of being in the area, carrying a big bag packed with changes of clothes and feeling like nothing is working. It doesn't feel effortless...it doesn't feel as effortless as it looks for other women. Slender women with smooth skin who walk into restaurants in the same bike shorts and shirts and sandals that I own looking like they just stepped out of a styling session and a salon. This is the reality of a bad day in a fat body in a world where we still have to fight at every turn to be recognized as equally worthy. Equally worthy of eating nice food. Equally worthy of finding clothing everywhere they want to shop. Equally worthy of self love and positive self image. We have to fight and fight and sometimes feign confidence. It all comes down on us some days when the internalized fat-phobia (and believe me, it is internalized so deep down into our own consciousness) rears up and we feel betrayed by our own minds and eyes. That hateful gaze turns inward and it f*cking hurts. Knowing you are doing this to yourself and letting it be done to you, feeling these things about your own self and seeing through the eyes of a messed up world. Betraying yourself. It's been a really really hard day. I want to get rid of all my clothing and cut pieces of my body off so I look like the everyday, easily acceptable beauty standard. Because if I do, everything will be better. I'm not saying any of this to get sympathy, I'm saying it to make it clear how completely messed up it is to hate fat bodies and how much damage that kin
