When's the last time you looked in a mirror and sa

When's the last time you looked in a mirror and saw a reflection that could get you killed, no questions asked? Have you ever thought about it, touching up your makeup or fixing your hair? This is someone's daily reflection. Millions of people, living in fear, teaching their children how to act in front of a police officer so their families didn't have to suffer an unbelievable loss. Imagine worrying if you looked too dangerous before going for a jog. This. Happens. Daily.
Why is it still a thing, in the 21st century? Why aren't people shouting from the rooftops about the racism that happens all the time? Because it doesn't directly affect their lives.
You hear a passing comment at the dinner table and choose to let it slide. You notice someone make a joke about a a PoC and decide not to do anything. You watch a couple of videos on your phone as they pop up on Facebook - hell, you might even react with an angry emoji - but when you turn it off, your life goes on as if no injustice happened. And I'm not saying I'm perfect; there are people much better than me, fighting daily to stop racism once and for all. But a silent non-racist won't make a change. The world needs active anti-racists. Stop saying that "All lives matter" if yours was never in a position when it didn't. Educate yourself and others. Keep trying. Keep going. I know I will not be silent anymore. This has been going for way too long and needs to stop right now. So who's side are you on?

Chin up, buttercup! 🌼 In case you need to hear it today - the value of your life is not measured by your assignment scores, successful baking attempts or the to-do lists you did or didn't tick off. Just because social media is mostly used to showcase other people's highlights, it doesn't make your life any less valuable.

I repeat that to myself on a daily basis.

Somewhere over the rainbow, there's a place where using beautiful planners and calendars still makes sense 🌈 Yet I still write to-do lists that include taking a shower, eating dinner, reading etc. It helps to know when I last showered when I can't even tell what day of the week it is anymore 😂

Easter egg fun 🐣 decorating eggs is downright my favourite Easter tradition. I have always loved the creative process behind it, even if most years my eggs looked like a two-year-old drew on them. Last year I finally accepted my defeat (basically got bored with painting stick figures) and started dying them instead. And I love it! It can be done with the proper egg dyes, but even with the quarantine happening, you can have fun with stuff in your cupboards. Tumeric is great for yellow eggs. Purple cabbage will give you blue colour (weird but true). Beetroot turns the eggs red/pink and coffee leaves a brown tinge. Just boil the mixtures with your eggs inside for around 10 minutes, add a few spoons of vinegar and chill until you're happy with the colour. So easy, yet so effective 😊

This time last year, I was covered in cat hair and stuffing my face with chocolate. This year, I haven't even got an Easter egg yet. Am I going to get any amidst all the shopping bonanza? Will the Mini Eggs be worth queuing for hours? I guess we'll have to wait to find out. I'm secretly hoping to grab enough chocolate to last me until 2021 when it's half price after Sunday.
Hope you're all well and coping with the new reality. It shall all pass.
