  • Chicco Echo Stroller ‘Tested for Happiness’ Review

    Yaz     January 17, 2015     Baby, Family, Kids, Parenting

    The struggle is real when searching for a stroller for our little ones. We want one that’s light, neat, study and safe. That’s not too much to ask for is it? šŸ™‚ I love strollers rather than a big buggy especially if you bring it in your car a lot. They are also a lot

Itā€™s been a week huh? šŸ˜“A lot of people have h Itā€™s been a week huh? šŸ˜“A lot of people have had their eyes firmly opened to the lack of real and meaningful representation in Irish media with the latest Stellar magazine cover. Honestly, Iā€™m still waiting on others to acknowledge what happened this week too though) Some people have been really shocked and want to make change, others extremely defensive and still not getting why better representation and inclusion is needed in Ireland.ā£ ā£ Let me just say this though, holding people and brands accountable for actions and words that hurt the BIPOC community is NOT ā€œcause trollingā€ it is also not ā€œcancel cultureā€ or a ā€œwitch huntā€ā£ These statements completely dismiss the issue at hand and of peoples experiences. ā£ People can and should questions and/or ask people/brands to do better especially if said group is putting something out in the public domain and for consumers that is harmful or marginalising BIPOC further.ā£ ā£ We canā€™t keep centering white peoples self image feeling hurt when BIPOC are being emotionally and physically hurt, even killed by covert and overt acts of racism. This canā€™t go on. Weather thatā€™s excluding BIPOC from, for example, magazine covers or BIPOC not being listened to or believedPeople and brands need to be called out (or held accountable as I prefer to call it) and asked better of in order for real change to happen. ā£ Asking nicely and by yourself doesnā€™t work unfortunately as I know too well. People/brands only listen, take notice and make real change and effort when noise is made. What happened to @ericacody this week is also a good example of how and why we need to make noise about racism.ā£ ā£ Again this is not trolling, cancel culture or a witch hunt, this goes for people being held accountable for acts of sexual violence too. ā£ If you care more about your image than making change and seeing why you need to do better then you donā€™t get to call yourself anti-racist. #representationmatters #representationmattersireland #inclusionmatters #inclusivity #irish #ireland #irishmedia #stellarmagazine #antiracism #accountabilityisnotanattack #accountability #itsoktogetitwrong #ownit #irishmammy #irishblogger #irishbloggers #creatorsie
Makeup on yesterday to cover my black eyes from in Makeup on yesterday to cover my black eyes from insomnia ā˜ ļø ā € ā € Going to the doc tomorrow to literally demand she give me something for my anxiety and insomnia (I do mindfullness, exercise etc etc but itā€™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 thatā€™s OK. Iā€™ve made it no secret Iā€™m already on meds long term for clinical depression, I have a chemical imbalance and NEED meds, thatā€™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 šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļøā € ā € ***ALSO, did you know itā€™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. Itā€™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. Itā€™s exhausting. I will share in a video soon, like I used to avoid the sun coz I didnā€™t wanna tan and look darker for fear of looking ā€œmore foreignā€ and feeling further ostracised šŸ˜„Please swipe across to read the slides and see @mentalhealthamerica for more info.*** ā € ā € Also wanted to show the sleeve on this top I got from H&M years ago.

Book šŸ“– Review ā € Adored this beautiful story, Book šŸ“– Review ā € Adored this beautiful story, Everything I Never Told You by @pronounced_ing I read this on my kindle so this gorgeous pic isnā€™t mine but by @bookedupgirl)ā € ā € My thoughts šŸ’­ā € ā € This was the first book Iā€™ve properly sat down and read in years, it just really grabbed my attention and Iā€™ll tell you why below. ā € It was quite sad and chilling. Itā€™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.ā € ā € 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 donā€™t "fit in" your own country due to peoples ingrained biases. ā € It portrayed very well how that affects you as a person and the way you navigate the world after facing so much racial discrimination.ā € ā € Gender roles was another theme in the book and lack of communication between parents/ā € kids. ā € ā € Would highly recommend a read of this, it was never boring, and dealt with many social and family issues. ā € 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, itā€™s brill! ā € #bookreviews #readingcommunity #booksaremagic #antiracistbookclub #diversifyyourfeed #amplifymelanatedvoices #whiteprivilidge #irishmum #gentlefamiliesireland #creatorsie #irishblogger #instareads #everythinginevertoldyou #celesteng #female_igers_ireland #bookrecommendations #momsofinsta #tiredmammybookclub #diversebooks #parentingblogger #woc

Some thoughts.. . . I see a lot of people saying ā€œweā€™re all the human raceā€ and ā€œall lives matterā€ seemingly tiptoeing around saying Black Lives Matter. Maybe because itā€™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 weā€™re all human as some of ye point out, youā€™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 canā€™t deny that, stats donā€™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 donā€™t care, itā€™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 youā€™re unsure about whatā€™s going in then educate yourself, search ā€œwhy black lives matterā€ and ā€œ10 Examples That Prove White Privilege Exists in Every Aspect Imaginableā€ 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.
