Most of all, be kind

My "inspiration" for today 😂 Currently doing Couch to 5K and really loving it. Never thought I'd say that! Always last on sports day, always carrying an inhaler just in case during PE! But seriously it's great, and a brilliant way to clear the cobwebs after a hard day in work. Just did week 3 day 1 today, so that's the 7th run ✨

Foods that make your vagina happy and healthy (yes, really)

Bedsider | We shared nutrition hacks for better sex. (Because bloated sex is rarely the best sex.) Now we’re exploring foods that are beneficial for your vagina because we want you—and Lady V—happy and healthy.

Cranberry juice. Loaded with acid compounds that fight off bad bacteria, cranberry juice can help you prevent and relieve urinary tract infections. But go for a natural, no-sugar-added brand to get the benefits.

Yogurt. It has the same good bacteria your vadge needs to maintain its healthy pH levels. Look for yogurt with live and active cultures/probiotics. (BTW, other sources of probiotics work too, including pickles, kimchi, miso, kefir, sauerkraut, and kombucha tea.)

Sweet potatoes. Their vitamin A contributes to healthy vaginal and uterine walls and helps us produce the hormones we need to stay vibrant and energized.

Garlic. It’s known to be antimicrobial and they say eating it raw can help fight yeast infections.

Soy. The phytoestrogens in soy help keep your vagina lubricated, but don’t go for the overly processed stuff like soy burgers or nuggets. Stick with edamame, tofu, tempeh, and miso.

Avocados, apples, flaxseeds, and water. They are all super-healthy for many reasons, but for those who don’t like soy, remember that these four can also help you stay naturally lubricated down there.

Almonds and pumpkin seeds. They’re high in zinc, which can normalize your menstrual cycle and regulate hormones. Zinc can also boost your immune system and your mood.

Hot chilies. They contain capsaicin, which improves blood circulation and stimulates nerve endings. That’s good for arousal.

Guava, kiwi, oranges, and green peppers. They are full of vitamin C, which helps with stamina and keeps your sex drive going by removing the free radicals that disrupt normal sexual health.

Dark chocolate. The high-flavonoid kind is a great source of antioxidants and women who eat at least a square a day report increased desire and better overall sexual function. Bon Appétit adds, “Chocolate is also rich in magnesium (which soothes nerves), methylxanthines (boosts libido) and phenylalanine, an amino acid that produces dopamine (the feel-good chemical).”

Fresh fruit and veg in general. Want fewer menstrual cramps? Better skin? Easier orgasms? Eat a diet that supplies you with a variety of vitamins and minerals. The health benefits are good for your whole body, from your pinky toes to your punani to your beautiful brain.

love this outfit <3 

34-31-42 US Size 12 Learning to love my body has been a constant battle since I was 12 years old, but at the age of 19 I’m finally starting to realize that I don’t have to be ashamed for enjoying food or having a little extra meat on my bones. Thank God society is finally starting to realize being a size 2 isn’t everything & that your mental & physical health are so so so much more important.

I’m currently on a little yoga journey with Adriene. She’s amazing and I wish I’d found her videos sooner. I’d recommend her to anyone starting out or even if you’re more experienced as she’ll give variations on most moves.

Helping me to work on my strength, flexibility, balance, and most importantly reducing my anxiety and working on mindfulness and positivity

I’ve started yoga

and honestly it’s changed my life.

It is the BEST stress reliever. 

I don’t know why it took my so long to start, but I’m so glad I did.

Choose to be kind always. You won’t regret it because hey, what comes around goes around :–) (And also, it’s the right thing to do)
