THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME IN IBIZA WITH …

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME IN IBIZA WITH MALIBU RUM

I had to repost this from @lesliedwight 🖤🤍⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We are going through a global awakening. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
We are being forced to learn, listen and grow for change. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Just for a minute, reflect on how your life was before 2020, before COVID-19 & George Floyd’s death. ⁣⁣
For me, life was fast, busy and self indulgent. Brexit dominated the media in the UK, because apparently that was the most important thing for our country. Wow, doesn’t it makes you realise we need world 🌍 solidarity.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
How was it for you? I bet life was different. Has 2020 given you a different perspective? ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Awareness is so important to creating change from the inside out. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• We are being forced to feel uncomfortable⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• We are having to rethink how we cope in situations we’re not used to dealing with⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• We are looking at how we behave⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• What are we doing to move forward for a better future for us and our children⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I truly believe these 2020 events have opened our eyes, to the things we need to change.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣As sad as these events have been for so many people. It’s highlighted what’s going on in the world. It reminds us of solidarity and love for each other. The need to pull together. NOT shame and take each other down. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Shaming people for how they behave and what they do isn’t a step forward. It’s a step back. Let’s lift each other up, celebrate people trying and allow people to have their voices. ⁣⁣⁣People will behave differently online and offline with the new knowledge they have. ⁣Don't judge or shame someone, because you don’t know what they’re doing behind closed doors. ⁣⁣Social media is a snapshot. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Don’t pressurise people to have the same opinion as you. Everyone is allowed to digest information and share information how they wish to. It’s our individual responsibility to create change by making choices and decisions that affect our lives and others. The everyday impact is more imprudent than just a social media post. ⁣
⁣
And finally, remember through all of this, check in with your peers, they might need your support right now! We also need to protect our energy and mental health too. Do what’s right for you!

#blackouttuesday I want to live in a world and I want my child to grow up in a world, where people don’t have to be killed, have to fight or argue to be heard. It’s painful to watch and hear it, but I’m listening & learning. ⁣
We stand together 👊🏻👊🏿👊🏼👊🏾👊🏽 this blackout is to highlight what’s going on in the world right now. It reminds us of solidarity and love for each other. Set yourself a goal today to read, listen and learn about what is happening. The more we educate ourselves, the more we know and can make a change.
I pray 🙏🏼 this movement changes the system, it’s not just another protest. Change needs to happen!

Remember Saturday nights used to be like this? 🤣 well Tik Tok makes it look easy 😅This used to take two hours, after we’ve shaved our legs, washed our hair, slapped on tan, did our hair and makeup. Lockdown has made me appreciate being indoors on a Saturday. For someone who always had plans & needed to be around people on weekends. I’ve realised I don’t always need to be ‘out’ socialising. I can enjoy time at home too (in my PJs with a takeaway indoors) ❤️ wbu?

You will have heard me talk about @makeuprevolution Pout Bomb, a lip plumping gloss on this page. Honestly it’s my everyday go-to gloss. You’ll never see my handbag without one in it. ⁣
⁣
Today @makeuprevolution launched a sparkle version - Shimmer Bomb, who doesn’t want a shimmer version for summer? I do 🙋🏼‍♀️ also contains vitamin E, so it’s super moisturising 😍 Love all these shades, but I know I’ll be wearing shades Sparkle, Glimmer & Daydream all throughout the summer ✨⁣

LET’S TALK ABOUT... Freedom ❤️⁣ But before

LET’S TALK ABOUT... Freedom ❤️⁣
But before we do, I have to let you know I’m wearing @jojomamanbebe @jojobebebumps red tiered woven maternity dress 💃⁣
⁣
Have you found a new appreciation for Freedom during Covid-19? I know I have. I went outside of my area for the first time in months a couple of days ago & I felt this overwhelming feeling of happiness and gratitude. It dawned on me, this was the same feeling I have when I‘m on holiday, at a festival or ‘out out’ with my friends. ⁣
⁣
But I asked myself this question “why did it take an ‘event’ somewhere else for me to feel this freedom?” ⁣
Why? ⁣Because...
• We are always thinking about the next place to go⁣
• Always looking for the next thing⁣
• Always wanting more⁣
• Escaping from everyday life with these events ⁣
⁣
Yet we didn’t realise we have it all, right where we are. We have freedom and happiness wherever we are. We just have to feel it and appreciate it. ⁣
Happiness is a state of mind. You don’t have to be in Ibiza or at a boozy brunch to feel freedom. ⁣
Appreciating the smaller things like being outside or being with someone special to you during the hard times, is enough. ⁣
⁣
I won’t forget this time we lived through. I’ve found a new appreciation for freedom during this time. Have you? ⁣

LET’S TALK ABOUT... spending quality time togeth

LET’S TALK ABOUT... spending quality time together in relationships 💕⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What do we mean by quality time? ⁣⁣
This IS NOT quality time with your partner;⁣⁣
• Sitting next to each other on your phones ⁣⁣
• Watching Netflix for hours ⁣⁣
• Being in the same house doing things together ⁣⁣
• Food shopping ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Quality time, is time spent together outside of what your ‘normal’ is. It might look like this; ⁣⁣
• Taking time out of your everyday lives to enjoy time together⁣⁣
• To learn more about each other⁣⁣
• To speak about subjects you haven’t had time to⁣⁣
• Speak to each other without distractions, no phones, TV or other people around you ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This time spent together is special and precious. No matter how long you’ve been together, it’s important to take those moments when you can. Even if it’s every month or every 3 months. Make sure you do it. It connects you to your partner. It allows you to grow together too. Remember nobody stays the same, relationships can fall apart if you don’t grow together. So make sure you take that time to get to know each other as you both grow through life. ⁣⁣
We can get caught up in life and forget what we found attractive about our partner in the first place. They get on your nerves at times or drive you insane with their bad habits. Focusing on the negatives will only make you resentful and irritated with them. ⁣Don’t forget to appreciate them for all that they do. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And if lockdown caused friction, arguments and ill feelings, remember this is probably one of the hardest experiences you’ll have to go through in your relationship. Nobody spends this much time with anybody. I’ll be surprised if anyone got through lockdown without an argument. Providing nothing too bad has happened, ask yourself can I forgive and move on? Is it worth holding on to? Will you look back and laugh together about this difficult time? If you can get through lockdown, you’ll get through so much more together 💕⁣ ⁣
Remember this doesn’t just apply to romantic relationships, this can be applied to ALL relationships. Spending quality time with Mum, Dad, Nan & Grandad etc can strengthen any relationship
