Do you have a word for the year ? ✨
An intention for how you want the year to unfold
A why ?

Every year I take time to reflect on the year passed and how I want the present year to unfold , how much expansion is required , how much more leaning into my true self it will take, and what it will cost .
I do this with the help of a writing tool called the . You can download or print it.It really asks of you to go deep ,to recall places ,people even smells that you encountered in the year that ultimately made or broke the year for you, and it’s tough work but it also highlights just how many times you won in the year .Even if it didn’t feel like it . There are always small wins .
And every year it prompts you to choose a word for the year . Last year my word was CONNECTION .And woah did I lean in! With the exploration of somasensing somatic work , understanding our deep connections to nature , being more meaningful in my life connections and being intentional about the connections that align with my connection to my true self . I see the value of that word now as I write this and as I sat down to reflect in my year compass .
This year my word is PURPOSE .
What is purpose ?
Aligning even more with what purpose means to me , Which is actually just deepening of connection . A continuation of last year .

Asking deeply , what is my why ?
What frequency am I resonating at when it’s not purposeful?
What does it feel like in my body when I’m not moving from a place of purpose ? Is there strain ?
When I am purposeful , I will be nurtured , I will be well .
But also it will be difficult, because purpose living is often not the cool thing to do ,or the main stream ,it’s the thing that takes care of more than just me .It’s in community , it’s in healing , it’s in nature , it’s honouring what matters most .
And it’s not in the cars or the clothes or the fancy products .
it’s in the joy of simple magic ,the slow living ,the nourishing food ,the connected conversation, it’s in the healing.
It’s in the connection to our bodies and listening deeply . It’s in back yard gardens and pain free living .
Its my true definition of success
Purpose Living✨

My 2025 Ins and Outs ✨-

I love doing this list every year .
A moment for me to tune in to what I feel is most important, what matters most to me this year .
What will take care of me .

And this list today if I’m honest has alot of the same things on my list last year . Sometimes it’s not about the new things added in the new year but a continuation of the seeds we sowed in the previous year that we tend to even more now .
This list is a bit like that . !

And it doesn’t matter if we do or don’t do all of it .
But the intention is what matters. !
The intention to honour and take care of ourselves .
To surround ourselves with love and light
To be our truest , most beautifully authentic selves

With that said
What matters most outside of this list is that we made it to 2025 ,list or no list , we got here , and we have another chance to take care of ourselves, to nurture ourselves , to live from a place of joy .
To be well , to be happy !
But mostly we got to LIVE ✨🙏🏽

I hope this year you LIVE ✨

So here’s to the LIVING and the living loudly in 2025
I am going to LIVE

What are some of your 2025 ins and outs this year ?
Whats most important to you to embody ? Or do you not have a list at all and prefer for it to just unfold . Let me know
Share with me in the comments . I’d love to hear about it .

What a privilege to Celebrate 10years of 💝

In the 10 years of Bouclème , I have used the brand for 6 of those years and that feels pretty special to me !
If you know me and have been following this page since Curlzbyzee you know my ride or die love for this brand .
A brand that has been a massive part of my curly hair journey and still is!!! . I remember learning about my porosity in the same breath as I was introduced to curl cream by in my lounge in 2018 as she gave me one of my first curly hair cuts after moving to London , and I’ve never looked back! .
I’m so grateful because my journey didn’t just end with my curls loving these amazing products, but I then got the opportunity to work along side the wonderful team that supports the vision and the powerhouse that is Michelle Lyn Scott who’s love and purpose for creating this brand extends into every new product she introduces.
And you could see it by the many beautiful faces and CURLIES who I got to meet , connect and reconnect with IRL , all celebrating the magic that is .

So here is to 10 more years of inspiring beautiful curl journeys and celebrating the joy of beautiful curls . And getting to be a part of the journey 💝🦋

A quote you might need to read today 🦋
I know I did 🦋

“Your direction is more important than your speed 🙏🏽

22/05/2024

W H O L E 🦋
You are always enough.
You are enough when you fail.
You are enough on the days you slip back into old habits. You are enough when you are not productive.
You are enough when the oppressive clouds of sadness gather around you.
You are enough when you feel lost and unsure of how to move forward.
You are enough when you have nothing else left to give. You are enough no matter what other people may tell you. You are enough no matter what your mind may tell you. Your wholeness has nothing to do with the impermanence of thoughts or feelings or life situations.
Your worth is not finite nor can it be broken.
You are whole through each and every phase of your becoming.

Hello May . ☀️

Here’s to being intentional about what I am inviting into my energy this month , intentional about what nurtures me and takes care of me , intentional about what feels rooted in purpose and integrity . Intentional about showing up for me . And in deep awareness of all the things that are not rooted in that intention..🦋

The joy of possibilities. 🙏🏽

Here’s to

“Being intentional.
Practicing gratitude daily.
Gracefully letting go of what does not serve you.
Choosing peace.
Pursuing what brings you joy.
Loving deeply.
Embracing uncertainty.
Trusting that everything is unfolding for your highest good. Above all, living in connection and alignment with your true self.”

May please be kind 🙏🏽🦋

2024 vs 2018
Time takes us where we need to be ⏳

And aint that the truth .
Embracing my curly hair and honouring it’s beauty has taken me on such a beautiful life journey and it’s taught me so much . 🫶🏽

My curly hair journey was not about just embracing my curls , but it is a journey of selflove , of self acceptance and discovery .
It is a journey of healing and nurturing myself . And showing up in the world honouring the depths of my true authentic self every single day .
Not for what the world says is beautiful and worthy and valued but because I always was and needed this journey to be reminded of that . !

But I didn’t know all that at the beginning
But i was about to find out.

The pictures above are 6 years apart .
I’ve now been wearing my curls for 8 years and it’s not only paved the way for me to embrace my hair but dropped me into the depths of what selflove and selfcare means .
It’s unfolded a journey of leaning into things that nurture and take care of me .
Digging deeper into selflove ,well-being and healing practices that call for deep work from the inside out. My whole self. Not just my hair 🥹

It’s the same with our hair . The health of our curls don’t depend on what we put on it . It’s not about the products !!! but it’s about what we consume , eat, drink , how we move ! Our mood . Nature.
The health of our hair is from the inside out !
The more value we put on what we consume ,the better care we are taking care of ourselves and by default our hair is taken care of .
All from the inside out !

I ultimately would not be the same person had I not had that one moment 8 years ago when I decided that the only way for me to be me in this world was to be ME !!!
Not the one I showed up as ,desperate for people to see and love . But just ME!!!!
The real me! which meant that it didn’t matter who else saw me or loved me .
What mattered most is that I saw me and I Loved me . !
And from there anything was possible. 🦋

So if you looking for a sign to start embracing your curly hair . This is it ! But know it doesn’t stop at your curls .
It will change your life ! and you are already worthy and beautiful 🦋🦋
