Faith, Fashion and Politics
My problem before I encountered the term was that I wanted a blanket solution to all of my impulsive habits, but couldn’t tie them together to do that. But after reflecting on impulsive habits of mine that I’ve been trying to kick for years, I’ve realised that all of them share this common theme. I […]
More*Sigh* “Finally. I can return to social media.” That’s probably what many POC were saying after being bombarded with violent imagery in every story, every repost and every video they were sent for months. But I personally don’t believe that POC will ever recover from the emotional beating of seeing black and brown bodies brutalised […]
MoreI downloaded ITV Hub to do what I have done for the past 3 summers prior to the pandemic: obsessively watch bikini-clad women fight over men in swimwear. It’s truly exhilarating, isn’t it?

MoreIn the clothes haul, I made a cute statement about how I wanted to be transparent with you guys and that came with it’s challenges. So this week’s blog won’t be political, but it will be deeper than usual. One of the things I struggled with was settling into my degree – 2nd year was […]
MoreIs social media making us Basic™? I’m gonna go against the tides here and say no it most definitely isn’t. I mean, I’m guessing you think I’m crazy. “What about Lad-lads, VSCO girls and all other copy+paste internet personalities in between?” you would ask. What if I told you that none of these internet personas […]
