A quarter century 🎉

A quarter century 🎉

Saturday 7 December 2019

Haven't posted in a while when i had promised myself to be more consistent this year. But oh well, today is my birthday, I hit 25 years old. i dunno how to feel about it, feels like last year i was entering my 20's and here i am today, half way through it. Very last year of bachelor degree then doing my masters in Brussels, if everything goes as planned! Anyway, i don't have much to say, today is a pretty chill day, it's clear and sunny outside. have a bit of uni work to dive in but tomorrow i am brunching with my closest friends to celebrate me. 

I don't want to make any promises, because i will probably not stick to them, but i am not giving up blogging, will be back from time to time, here and there to share some thought or what not. we're nearing the end of this year and this decade, i dunno how was 2019 for you, but i hope the last few days of it will be smooth and sweet to you all! 

Happy holidays, and happy born day to me!

Welcome back

Welcome back

Monday 18 February 2019

hat/beanie : h&m (years ago) // crop top: thrifted // maxi skirt: thrifted

last time i was fully active on here, it was back in july. july... it means 7 months passed by since, three seasons went by, almost because lately it feels like spring is showing up uninvited earlier than usual. not that it bothers me, au contraire, but we all know, 16°C in the middle of winter are not supposed to happen just yet. but anyhow, you might ask why this sudden comeback, uh? feels like coming back every 7 months is a thing for this blog, last post was 7 months ago and the post before, the one about my birthday is 14 month old. well i am not here to explain the reasons of my long overdue absences it's just me getting busy with life and forgetting i have a blog. yet this year, i want to involve myself more into writing about things i am passionnate about and want the world to learn. if you don't already know, i now write monthly for a journal in switzerland called Le Courrier, you can check out my two first contributions here and here, sorry they're in french but one of the articles i had already wrote on my blog can be found there. so, i won't make promises because i have no clue if i will stick up to them, but i really want to get back into blogging and write about social issues that are important to be aware of. be ready to read alot about sustainable fashion, black feminism, and social injustices. next post will probably be either on my tattoos (i got a few more since july 2018) or how to start being more mindful and sustainable while clothes shopping.

It was time for a reconciliation

It was time for a reconciliation

Monday 2 July 2018

A letter to this body i long struggled to accept, i am 23 and finally settling healthy relationships with it. to you, dear body, thank you for nurturing my existence and keeping me alive, i owe you big time, so here is to you: 

 sometimes you encounter some setbacks and it's okay, know that they are just temporary,

keep working on this relationship, it's been almost ten long years now. you thought things

will ease down but it turned out more difficult than planned, that's okay too because today

you know why you embarked on this journey. it's not just for you, it's for everybody else

surrounding you. the healthier the relationship with yourself, the better are the ones with others.

it's a struggle, i know but believe me it's worth it. you cannot be at war with something you have

to live with forever. your body is and will forever be your only certain company, 

have a good relationship to improve this cohabitation you've been having since the very beginning. 

you are getting there, i know, i can see it, you are starting to make peace with this body. 

you've been through a rough patch but look at how you overcame it! you can do it, you will do it

it will come and settle slowly, look, it's already getting somewhere, just get comfortable with it. 

it is time for you to reconcile with your body.

🎉 TWENTY-THREE 🎉

🎉 TWENTY-THREE 🎉

Thursday 7 December 2017

today marks my twenty-third year on this earth. i was born December 7th 1994 at exactly 4am sharp. i am my mums first born and only daughter. twenty-two was kind of a rollercoaster for me. so much has happened may it was good or bad, lots of happenings that opened my eyes, got me even angrier, or brought me joy. but overall twenty-two strengthened my activism, my feminist believes, the friendships that came along or were already there. twenty-three is kicking off pretty nicely and i cannot wait to see what i'll be accomplishing, what will help me grow and learn more that my previous year. to more activism, pleasure, joy and laughter this twenty-third year of life. happy bornday to me 🎉

self care is important, so take care of yourselves...

self care is important, so take care of yourselves...

Sunday 13 August 2017

if you haven't lived in a cave the past two days, you probably are aware of the happening in charlottesville, virginia in the united states of america. this post being about self care for my fellow POC i won't recap the happenings, do it so if you feel like to or have a the courage but i won't do it here. this post is to remind my fellow poc that self care is important, self care is what keeps us going in a world that never was thought for us, self care is healthy and we need to take care of ourselves in the midst of those terrorist and triggering events. you do not have to read the news today, switch off your devices if you need to, but do something that you like, that keeps you busy and smiling. know that you are allowed to skip those facebook posts, do not read the comment section. take a book, plug your phone and blast some music, watch some cartoons, a film, a documentary. take a piece of paper, write, draw, doodle. crafts something from scratch, bake a dish. play dress up, sort out your clothes, plan your next trip. sip some tea, eat biscuits, look away to the horizon. take a bubble bath, put on your favourite pyjamas, take care of you, sleep. you've got this. below a beautiful song of Adetola called "we need love" because sweet songs like this are full of gold.
