A Minimal, Vegan Haircare Routine
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]rizziness has always been the bane of my life and up until recently, I didn’t do a great deal about it. I have always used oils, but never spent the time to properly research what is best for me and my hair. I accepted fate and that there was no product on this planet had the capacity to fully tame my super thick, crazy hair. What inspired my need for change? A spontaneous one way flight ticket to France the following month. I decided to travel for the foreseeable future and knew that I wanted (and needed) to minimise my hair care routine to a few vegan products that I truly loved and trusted. Natural ingredients were a must.
A WFH Guide from Forward Ladies
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]t’s safe to say, we are living in unprecedented times. We have been asked to isolate ourselves and maintain a social distance from others to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
It is safe to say that anxiety levels are at an all-time high as we worry about our health, that of our vulnerable loved ones and the impact the disruption will have on our businesses. In response, businesses have asked their staff to work from home and banned all forms of business travel. So, we have teamed up with Forward Ladies and pulled together a guide to help you make the most of this time.
A Vegan Skincare Routine (for acne prone skin)
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]S[/eltd_dropcaps]ince I was a teenager I have struggled with acne. To a lot of people it may seem like an insignificant detail but to anyone one that has ever had to go out with a full face of lovely spots, you know that it can affect your mood and confidence. Of course, some may say that we are made to feel negative about our less than perfect skin, due to the airbrushed photographs we are bombarded with every single day of our lives. This is probably true, but it still doesn’t fix the feeling of annoyance when a new spot appears.

It’s Time to Put the ‘Body Positivity’ Movement to Bed
[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]B[/eltd_dropcaps]ecause it’s okay to not love your body every waking second of every day. The rise of the body positivity movement is one that has been carefully documented, analysed, scrutinised, applauded, and criticised. It’s a powerful movement that has helped women all over the world love and accept the body they were born in, in an age where size 0 supermodels are on the cover of every magazine on the shelf and influencers fill our social feeds.
It’s the same movement that’s pushed against those stereotypes; it caused the controversial Victoria Secret Fashion Show to be cancelled, saw Ashley Graham bring size acceptance into the mainstream, Harnaam Kaur, a self-proclaimed “bearded lady”, spoke in front of thousands at a Stonewall rally, and plus size women took over Times Square. There’s no denying that it’s a powerful movement, celebrated every year in May with International No-Diet Day, but it’s also superficial, grounded in a privilege that not everyone can access.
