Good morning & happy Monday! Now that the soreness

Good morning & happy Monday! Now that the soreness is gone I can tell y’all about our hike! The last time I went on a hike with a partner it was a disaster. They made me feel terrible for slowing them down & for being an inexperienced hiker. It left me so anxious to hike again; this was my first hike in almost 4 years & it murdered me. I left the mountains with 27 mosquito bites along with a messed up knee & hip. And you know what? I’d do it all over again because not once did Eóin let me give up, even though I complained repeatedly & cursed the world constantly. He is the kindest, most empathetic & patient partner I could have ever dreamed of having! 🧡🏔 #talesofdatingaleprechaun •

2 year #lengthcheck That’s how long it’s been

2 year #lengthcheck
That’s how long it’s been since I last heat styled my hair. I promised myself that a flat-iron wouldn’t touch my head until I fully loved my natural hair. I spent years thinking this is what I had to look like to fit in. Now, I refuse to accept that having straight hair is the only way to look attractive or professional. GTFO with that mess! My curly hair is gorgeous, sexy, professional, and all mine!

So today I got bored & decided to do a length check. Swipe to see my “before” (3rd pic). I properly prepped my hair with a deep conditioner & then used a heat protectant spray while styling, both by my fav @notyourmothers ! •

I originally created this for my team at work but I thought it was something that could benefit everyone. This is a compilation of content that has either personally benefitted me in my allyship journey, has helped me better understand my racial identity as a biracial black woman in America, or is on my to be read/watched list. This is not a complete list, merely a snippet to help people navigate through the beginning of unlearning. Nobody, regardless of race, age, or gender is immune from learning. If we do not understand the systems that keep people oppressed then there is no hope for truly dismantling them. Without knowledge there can be no rebirth 🌙

Fun Fact: I grew up rollerblading & this is my hap

Master bed set up reveal! I am soooo in love with

Master bed set up reveal! I am soooo in love with our new mattress & bedding. I let Eóin choose the color scheme for the room & he chose various shades of green, so my goal was to create a calm, eucalyptus inspired environment. We splurged on the frame so I made sure that all the bedding & pillows were more affordable! We are still on the hunt for a set of bedside lockers that we love so those will go in once we find them. Sidebar: an adjustable bed frame is an absolute GAME CHANGER 😍
A few people have been asking for links to the pieces I’ve shown in stories so I set up a Like to Know It account to make it easier to find!

My depression hasn’t been great this week. Betwe

My depression hasn’t been great this week. Between moving to the new house, the rain returning, & all the big changes (I do not process change well), it’s been hard to shake myself out of this funk. Today the clouds split open for a little bit so I decided to lace up for the first time in over a year! 🏃🏽‍♀️I could lament over the fact that I only did 2 miles. I could get sad at how slow my mile time has gotten. Instead, I’m going to enjoy the fact that I chose to get up & move. My body & my mind appreciate it. #QuarantineChronicles •
