Hello I’m pink, and I’m with my hello kitty!

Honestly my job doesn’t stop me from getting my nails done. In some aspects it actually helps me out having an extra gel overlay on my nails, because my natural nails often chip from the work we do on sets. Maybe I just have to go in for a touch a little more frequently but I don’t mind 🙆🏻‍♀️

I love Hamam! Nothing made me feel more like a coddled baby than a motherly Turkish woman bathing me in the full nude, holding my hand to walk me from the marbled table to the basin, scrubbing my whole body, and even washing my hair! Such a lovely experience to be completely taken care of 💖 my skin also looks amazing afterwards!!! 😍

Im normally not into these cheesy self indulgent kind of expressions, but I took some self reflection today and felt pride in the person I’ve become. This collage is made of some of my favourite photos of me taken by people who have impacted the last 10 years of my life. And it made me realize, it’s been a wild decade. I used to feel lost and anxious about a lot of things and felt like I lacked any self identity. I lacked a sense of direction and really let life have the reigns and take me places I wasn’t sure where I’d end up, physically and emotionally. Sometimes I was with strangers who became friends, and sometimes alone, often times really alone — moments which were most pivotal. I’m feeling gratitude towards this young blind bravery I had. It allowed me to enter unknowns and face consequences and learn about the world, and myself. It strangely made me more confident in approaching adversity, knowing that any fears I have, the absolute worst case scenario will most likely result in me still being alive, and that’s still pretty good. There’s a sense of humour that’s come with these years, that’s made me take other people’s opinions less seriously, and this is one of the greatest achievements of getting older for me. I feel like I’m finally in my own skin now that I’m not constantly combing over what other people might think of me. It’s left me with space to focus on things I value and who I want to be, to myself and to others. It’s really cliche but the best thing you can do is invest in yourself. Invest in yourself with principles and kindness. Because no one is going to look after you better than how you look after yourself. And what a beautiful and brutal world it is when you have the willingness to face it. Really excited to start this new decade and face new unknowns. Gonna try to hold on to this childlike curiosity for the years to come 💖 (Last slide is life really taking the reigns and going with it 😂)

October Dump 🍂🥀🖤

Here to talk about women’s health in the workplace! I honestly struggle a lot with my menstrual cramps and I’m always doing a ton of research and trying to find solutions for making it through the day during my cycle. It’s really hard to not be embarrassed talking about it, but I’ve been trying to embrace that I am a woman, and this is something we naturally go through, and just because I work with 95% male coworkers it shouldn’t stop me from prioritizing my health when I need to. I’ve been exploring how to be more transparent with my male coworkers in a way that is the least uncomfortable for everyone, but I also believe that it’s a burden that most working women secretly carry and we often feel that we shouldn’t “inconvenience” our coworkers. I want to encourage women who struggle with balancing work and their menstrual health to also explore avenues of transparency with their supervisors or colleagues. So far I’ve only had positive outcomes with having these discussions with my overheads. Working a physically demanding job with long hours can be super tough on women’s bodies during menstruation: things like lack of sleep can really affect our hormones and inflammation, which in turn can make pain management worse. I’ve tried many natural remedies as well as prescription medications yet the cramps are still an issue. While I wait for medical science to catch up on women’s health research, I’ve been experimenting with cutting out high inflammatory foods such as gluten, processed meats, and refined sugars. Trying to avoid canola oil too but that part is a little more difficult with lunch catering on set 😅 it’s been a month with this diet so far and my last menstruation was a lot more tolerable! (Didn’t have to call in for day off for once!) I’ve also started using Salonpas muscle ache stickers for cramp pain in place of a bulky heating pad, and it helped quite a bit! Thank you to all of my male coworkers for being open minded, empathetic and not grossed out about my transparency with my health! 🩷
