LOTS to come 💜

LOTS to come 💜

Sorry I have been away from blogging for a while; I’ve been super busy, and just trying to catch up with life, before cracking under the pressure.  

But I have still been writing and making notes for blog posts and am cuttently writing them all up and uploading a hell of a lot of photographs!!!

Got some posts on my travels in Spain, outfit posts, fitness posts and some motivational stuff coming…

feminist against the protein world campaign need to be quiet. Really. 

A very quick rant!! 

I am getting extremely irate with the response to this ad. Mainly because the feminists against this, are now body shaming the hard working Vegan health and fitness enthusiast model; and all fitness woman and hard working enthusiasts alike. To get a body like this is takes dedication and hard work with the help of a protein supplement aid, is how some achieve this.  For a…

Katie Hopkins. You belong in Jail.

I’ve held my tongue on this terrible, terrible shitbag for several years now, in a bid to not give her any of the attention she so desperately craves. Insulting her publicly only further contributes to the wood in her fire of toxic hate and mucus. 

But now that the UN’S Human Rights Chief has spoken out about her, accusing her of inciting hatred, I feel as though she now has the world’s attention anyway. She’s being used in the same sentences as actual Nazis now, and being associated with those behind historical genocides. So what harm could my tiny little blog do now? I have to say something for my own sanity.

She said in her most recent abomination of human kind column last week, that she didn��t care if migrants died on their crossing of the mediterranean, that they are similar to cockroaches and that gunboats should be used to deter further arrivals. She added, “No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad, I still don’t care.”

Obviously Katie must think these asylum seekers are coming to Britain for our beautiful weather, cheap housing prices and friendly attitude. It can’t possibly be because they are terrified for their survival in their own countries. These people are escaping poverty, corrupt governments, murder abuse and rape. Are you REALLY telling me Katie, that if you and your children were being sexually assaulted and terrorised and your lives were at risk, that you would stay put where you were in the name of “propriety?” Would your fear of disrupting another country’s financial stability stop you from trying to save your own life, and the lives of your children? Or would you get on the FIRST boat the hell out of there?

It worries me for her children that she has no apparent maternal instinct. It worries me for her children that she is their mother full stop. What is she filling their heads with? What legacy are they going to be left with when she is gone one day? What will their family be smeared with because of her ignorant abuse on society, and essentially, humanity?

Now don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a joke when I hear it. I’ve even laughed at some of the things she has said in the past. I loved her to pieces on the apprentice. But she took that amusing caricature and has chiselled it into a sword she is using to try and destroy our society. Her xenophobia is so dangerous. She is an enabler. She enables people who can’t take responsibility for their own short comings and problems, to look outside themselves and blame it on other people. Like foreigners. Somehow I don’t think British people deliberately choose foreign people to work for them specifically over “our own.” Especially within the labour industries. I’m sure if british people took the jobs of the construction workers, cleaners and handymen first, they would have all those jobs by now. Katie Hopkins encourages the blame game. Which is such an unhelpful stance to take in the name of progress.

“I’m poor because of the Pakis.” isn’t a mentality that’s going to get you anywhere in life.

Pointing the finger at everyone else is a wonderful way of avoiding the finger being pointed at you. It’s the name of her game. Sometimes I think she does it on a personal level. By constantly picking on and highlighting fat people and foreigners and rich people with funny names and muslims… she fucking hates muslims… it means less people will look at what’s wrong with her. This woman has clearly been bullied her whole life. She even gets the most hurtful personal comments I’ve ever seen on her appearance made to this day, even as I type. God knows what school was like for her, or what she had to do to find some self esteem as an adult. Abuse is almost always at the heart of people who are this full of hatred. I can’t bear to think of what must have happened to her to create such a monster. What must be going through your head to live your day to day as a panto villain, as a puppet for the Sun, and This Morning,  to generate publicity at any cost. They will dispose of her without blinking when she no longer is of use to them. She’s a pawn in the saddest game I’ve ever heard of. I almost want to give this woman a hug. ALMOST. 

Look many people say stupid things, God knows I have. I remember in my first month of being on twitter, making joke about menopause in relation to Catherine Zeta Jones’ reported Bi Polar condition. An outrageously stupid thing to do. Having come from a family that contained many mentally ill people, I had a flippancy towards the topic of mental illness that came across SO irresponsibly to those who didn’t know my experience. But what I said was a joke. One that i had the presence of mind to still delete and apologise for in under a minute. And I was only 22. This woman is a mother in her fifties. And I’m terrified that she might actually mean the terrible things she says.

Hate crime is the scariest thing in the world. Being born as a middle class white woman in one of the most developed and civilised countries in the world has perhaps not armed her with any compassion towards ANY other people. I have no idea how Katie would feel were the shoe on the other foot. It’s arrogant and ignorant attitudes like hers that allowed british people and caucasians  to come into other countries, rape the women, steal the culture and take the people as slaves. She’s upset that foreigners are coming to our land? Maybe we shouldn’t have gone to their in the first place and fucked everything up for them. Maybe Pakistan and India didn’t need that partition. Maybe Africa was ok without white supremacy and slavery. The world and it’s people have been bed hopping since transport was invented. Britain is getting a taste of it’s own invasion, only the asylum seekers aren’t trying to take over our land and pillage our women and children and take our houses, they just want somewhere safe to live, and get by in peace.

Look. I’m a second generation asian citizen of this country. I am proud to live here. i am so grateful to live here so that I grew up in this wonderful land of freedom. I’m glad I’m here, and I think I am a hell of a lot more worthy of living in a free world than Katie Hopkins, who doesn’t even believe in one. What good does she contribute? She just projectile vomits evil nonsense at us on a daily basis.

Please don’t buy into her propaganda. Don’t spread this malevolence. Don’t let it into your life. I beg of you. We are a great nation who have been in financial hot water due to many of our own misdemeanours. Tax fraud wasn’t made my foreigners. Foreigners didn’t make the government over pay themselves. Foreigners didn’t make people like Gary Barlows accountant to not pay MILLIONS to our country. Foreigners didn’t make us spend all that money on the Millienium Twatting Dome. It’s not only foreigners who use benefits, a large portion of our benefit fraud comes from our own people. Britain has been scoring own goals for over a hundred years. We can’t just blame the brown people.

It appears she is now actually campaigning for xenophobia and racism. Her columns are daily starting to read more and more like an idiot’s guide to Mein Kampf. I think she should be prosecuted for what now feels like a crime against humanity, put in a cell with all the other hateful and damaging people of the world.

Congratulations Katie Hopkins, you will go down in history after all. You will be remembered forever… in the elite alumni of the biggest, dirtiest arseholes Britain has ever created. Well done us for giving this cretin a stage. SLOW CLAP BRITAIN.

And Katie, it takes a cockroach to know one babe. xxx

Sant Jordi 

Here in Barcelona, or Catalunya on general, today 23rd April, is Sant Jordi; the day of the Saint, book and the rose.

Today is the first time I have ever been here for this 💜

History tells us that the tradition, of the gift of the rose, as a symbol of love on the day of Sant Jordi, dates back to the 15th century.

In the most famous legend, we know Saint George did not marry the princess, instead…

Front room workout 💜

Front room workout

So today, I wanted to go the gym. BUT of course, the gyms here in Barcelona require you to bring your residencey card or your passport. To which I had neither. Considering the gym is a good 20/30 minute journey from where i live, i just came home for a workout.

So the workout I had planned, changed and I did a full body workout and cardio for about 1 hour and 15 minutes in my apartment.

I did a…

Fitness meets Fashion 

Being quite the fitness fanatic; and love learning, pushing myself and seeing results of the hard work, throwing a gym/workout outfit together is something else I adore.

Today I managed to make myself look more acceptable for a public workout haha!

I like to switch it up and be a little different.

The leggings and bra are actually from England. Tesco’s active wear, I found these at a bargain…

Chill out Yankee. 

So I know it’s been a while since I attempted to post something but I’ve been sooooo busy, venturing, life planning and helping a family move and unpack into their new house!!

Today I had time to snap a quick picture of my outfit. One of my chilled out, Americans sports styles. In my favourite part of the city; the Gothic Quarter. 💜

I had a busy morning yet again today in Barcelona, but I always…

Holi Barcelona 2015 

Well my first day over in Barcelona, has been some what, amazing.

We attended the Holi colour festival in Montbau, the hills of Barcelona!

An incredible amount of people were on their way in their pristine white clothes, ready to dance, have a few drinks and throw and cover ourselves in colour paint powder. It was great seeing a range of ages and groups, families and friends all just enjoying…
