Makeup on yesterday to cover my black eyes from in Makeup on yesterday to cover my black eyes from insomnia ☠️ ⠀ ⠀ Going to the doc tomorrow to literally demand she give me something for my anxiety and insomnia (I do mindfullness, exercise etc etc but it’s not enough and I wish docs would realise that is not the only cure, yes ot helps but not enough in some cases, sometimes ya need meds and that’s OK. I’ve made it no secret I’m already on meds long term for clinical depression, I have a chemical imbalance and NEED meds, that’s also OK. Sick of stigma around meds, if they give you a better quality of life what is the harm ya know? They help me function much better without my brain going into over over or underdrive 🤷🏽‍♀️⠀ ⠀ ***ALSO, did you know it’s #bipocmentalhealthawarenessmonth (also includes LGBTIQ+ community). Racial trauma is very real and affecta how BIPOC navigate the world, also racism within healthcare settings or communities affects how and when people seek help. It’s really sad to see how much systemic racsim impacts people And their mental health. Even thinking of my own journey, I can see now how racist experiences growing up mixed race in Ireland and still today have really changed how I navigate the world around me, how I think, act and feel in everyday encounters. It’s exhausting. I will share in a video soon, like I used to avoid the sun coz I didn’t wanna tan and look darker for fear of looking “more foreign” and feeling further ostracised 😥Please swipe across to read the slides and see @mentalhealthamerica for more info.*** ⠀ ⠀ Also wanted to show the sleeve on this top I got from H&M years ago. Love it🌵💎 front says #sorrynotsorry very apt 😆⠀ ⠀ #bipocmentalhealth #mentalhealthawawarenessmonth #impactofracialtrauma #bipocmhm #racialtraumaisreal #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #anxietyawareness #anxietyattacks #panicdisorder #irishblogger #creators #irishbloggers #gentlefamiliesireland #creatorsie #irishblogger #irishbloggers #representationmatters #momoffour #irishmammy #irishmammies #irishmam #maternalmentalhealth #bipocmhm

Book 📖 Review ⠀ Adored this beautiful story, Book 📖 Review ⠀ Adored this beautiful story, Everything I Never Told You by @pronounced_ing I read this on my kindle so this gorgeous pic isn’t mine but by @bookedupgirl)⠀ ⠀ My thoughts 💭⠀ ⠀ This was the first book I’ve properly sat down and read in years, it just really grabbed my attention and I’ll tell you why below. ⠀ It was quite sad and chilling. It’s about two parents and their 3 kids,one ends up dead after they realised she was missing. It went back to the past and how the parents own problems while growing up affected their parenting. It told the story from all the kids perspectives too.⠀ ⠀ Growing up mixed race was a big theme which felt personally validating to me being mixed race myself and knowing too well the feeling as if you don’t "fit in" your own country due to peoples ingrained biases. ⠀ It portrayed very well how that affects you as a person and the way you navigate the world after facing so much racial discrimination.⠀ ⠀ Gender roles was another theme in the book and lack of communication between parents/⠀ kids. ⠀ ⠀ Would highly recommend a read of this, it was never boring, and dealt with many social and family issues. ⠀ Anyone else read it? Did you enjoy it? Side note, this author also wrote Little Fires Everywhere which is now a tv series on Amazon Prime, it’s brill! ⠀ #bookreviews #readingcommunity #booksaremagic #antiracistbookclub #diversifyyourfeed #amplifymelanatedvoices #whiteprivilidge #irishmum #gentlefamiliesireland #creatorsie #irishblogger #instareads #everythinginevertoldyou #celesteng #female_igers_ireland #bookrecommendations #momsofinsta #tiredmammybookclub #diversebooks #parentingblogger #woc
Pre-hose pipe ban...💧 . We made an at home wat Pre-hose pipe ban...💧 . We made an at home water sprinkler 💦 instead of buying a paddling pool coz I knew that would be wasted water on mine saying they are bored and cold after 10 mins most likely 😂 (himself made this from 1/2 plastic water pipe, Qualpex) . It was the best fun ever, the kids all loved it! Look at the joy on their faces 😭😍😍 Pretty gutted, we won’t be able to use it again now for awhile 😢 #irishmammy #irishmam #ipbig #dublinblogger #irishbloggers #itwbn #momoffour #momof4 #irishblogger #irishparentingblogger #irishblbinspire #irishmum #female_igers_ireland #gentlefamiliesireland #homemadeactivities #watersprinkler #waterbabies #motherhoodintheraw #igmom #pbloggersuk #parentingblogger #outdooractivities #irishmom #parentingwin #irelandphotography #mumtribeireland #watertoys #mymotherhood #pixel_kids #creatorsie
Some thoughts.. . . I see a lot of people saying “we’re all the human race” and “all lives matter” seemingly tiptoeing around saying Black Lives Matter. Maybe because it’s too hard to admit white privilege is a thing and we all benefit from that systemically weather we want to or not. And Black lives are suffering as a result. . . . This photo I feel is a good point, yes we’re all human as some of ye point out, you’re absolutely right; and right now our fellow humans, Black humans, are being killed, racially profiled and discrimated agaisnt simply for the colour of their skin. We can’t deny that, stats don’t lie. . . . So as a fellow human, white, brown or Black YOU SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED that humans are being treated this way because of the colour of their skin and you should making a vow to speak up when you see or hear racism or micro-aggressions or stereotypes. Not saying anything is saying you don’t care, it’s a privilege to be able to turn a blind eye. You stand with the opposer when you stay silent snd take no action. If you’re unsure about what’s going in then educate yourself, search “why black lives matter” and “10 Examples That Prove White Privilege Exists in Every Aspect Imaginable” on Google and stop leaving this to black people, out fellow humans as you say, to fight this alone. . . Stand up, speak out, listen and educate. First 3 pics by @tessy_photography at the Dublin Black Lives Matter demonstration at the US Embassy. . . #blacklivesmatterireland #endracism #blm #endpolicebrutality #irishblogger #creatorsie #irishbloggers #irishmammy #whiteprivilege #irishmammies #irish_daily #speakyourtruth #irishmum #ipbig #irishmamsconnect #mymotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #helloprivilegeitsmechelsea #parenting101 #irishblm #blmireland
Now is the time to be *actively* anti-racist. All Now is the time to be *actively* anti-racist. All well and good posting a picture or saying you’re against racism but use this time to read articles and learn about why we say “black lives matter”. Use this time to sit with and understand white privilege (no one is saying your life hasn’t been hard, but your skin colour hasn’t been something thats made it harder) and if you are uncomfortable with that term ask yourself why and read up about it. Read how for years people of colour, black people have been oppressed by systematic racism and biases and still are, just look at how a white school shooter is peacefully arrested but or made excuses for but a black man with no weapon is immediate killed. Look at your bias, don’t say you don’t see colour, don’t erase a person’s experiences by saying that or “racism isn’t as bad here in Ireland” it’s still here and hurting people, it’s killing people. It’s happening everywhere and in order to stop it we especially white people need to listen and learn no buts.
