• Happy Birthday to my 9 year old little monster, Cookie 🥰 She is the biggest pain in my ass most days, but her unique and hilarious personality shines through as she continues to surprise me with the silly things she does. My life is so much richer for having her in it and I honestly don’t think I would be here today if it weren’t for this ball of fluff’s constant companionship and love keeping me going through the hardest of times. I could not adore her more ❤️ xx . . . #cookiegoals #cookiesofinstagram #cookie #cookiemonster #pupsofinstagram #puppylove #birthdaypup #fortunesofcookie #malteseshihtzu #puppyspam #youhadmeatcookie #littlefloof #poopie

  • We. Need. To. Do. Better. PAUSE | LISTEN | LEARN My heart, along with a LOT of others right now, feels broken. I have so many emotions and I don’t even know where to begin. I am feeling overwhelmed. I am a white female. So in this case, it is my privilege that I have been stewing over what to write for the past few days to properly communicate my solidarity and support, as opposed to living with this issue my entire life. Are you angry or frustrated? Are you deeply saddened? Or does the topic of racism make you feel uncomfortable? Do you make jokes to hide your discomfort? Do you change the conversation or switch off? Ask yourself why. If you can simply turn away from this- this is your privilege. Please, check your privilege. White privilege doesn’t mean your life hasn’t been hard. It means your skin tone isn’t one of the things making it harder. You may not see yourself as racist, but it does not mean you are not currently benefiting from systems that favour white faces and voices. Staying quiet just isn’t good enough anymore. If you are not speaking out, you are only assisting in the oppression and inequality. Being anti-racist takes awareness and action. Have the hard conversations. Use your voice. Call people out on their unacceptable behaviour. Teach and empower. It is not a time to hate, but to educate. We. Need. To. Talk. About. This. Ask questions, but don’t make it a burden for a BIPOC to explain. Do your own research. Books, documentaries, news articles, blogs & podcasts. My white privilege means that I do still have so much to learn and comprehend. But I am getting there. It does take time. You may find that you have been unaware or misguided. You may feel naive or embarrassed by some of your previous actions or words, as unintentional or innocent as they may have been. But it is never too late to be a part of the solution. Become an ally. Educating yourself on this matter is crucial. Speaking out is vital. Please do not remain intentionally ignorant. Yes, all lives matter. But we should be collectively calling out systemic racism. ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’ - Martin Luther King Jr

  • LOVING THE BRIGHTS! I’ve always looked at people with all the colours of the rainbow on their heads and wished I could do it. Then one day I thought, “why not?” It was a long process that was TOTALLY worth it.. and this is hopefully only the beginning. So many people have approached me since going pink and remarked that they wished they were brave enough to do it. Isn’t that a funny concept? Being ‘brave enough’ to have a specific colour hair. Being okay with wordlessly telling the world you are okay with being different or standing out. When you suffer from anxiety and depression, it’s easy to come across as flat, generic or lacking substance. And it’s extremely hard to have to put in the energy to really allow people to get to know you. Especially at a time when you may not even know who that “you” is. Or when you live in your head and express yourself with words, like I do. Bright hair IS about expressing yourself. Like letting a little part of the real you out, without having to worry about anything else. Sure, sometimes there are difficulties.. I never realised how many pink items I owned until I wore it on my head and found myself matchy-matching with something new each day. You also NEVER go under the radar with sales people and have to become accepting of cold showers, even in winter. But I don’t absolutely despise my dull-brown-natural-hair reflection anymore. I don’t feel plain. I don’t feel boring. On my worst days, I still see possibilities. Woo hoo to liberation! #onwednesdayswewearpink Vivids fade in different ways too, which helps with my love of refreshing change. It truly is art on your head. I love it. Plus, I feel like I have a side of mystery. I can go out and interact with people, knowing that no matter how flat I feel I am coming across.. Mate, I have pink hair... who knows what crazy personality lies within or what secrets I carry with me. 🤭😏 I dont know. You don’t know. But now you want to find out.. . . . #SVSILOVERAINBOWS
