#fashionrevolution#whomademyclothes
Fashion revolution week. 5 years ago I wouldn’t have given it a 2nd thought. So long as it was cheap. 10 years ago I wouldn’t have given it a second though. So long as it was trendy. 15 years ago I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. So long as it had a designer label (student Loans eh?)
Since Instagram exploded ... I’ve grown a conscience. People I follow have highlighted certain things regarding the ethical issues around certain brands. Shops are also producing “fashion conscious” and organic ranges. And from my research into brands I’ve selected in the past for Uber barn, I’ve learnt so much about materials and impact on farmers, cheap labour, factories etc etc. Don’t get me wrong, I still own A LOT of clothes that aren’t “ethically made” but its a complete lifestyle change and the fact I’m even aware of the issues now is a huge step from where I was 15 years ago. Whilst I buy a lot of charity shop clothes for myself I like to select a few ethical pieces for my kids. Sure they can be more expensive but the quality is superior meaning I get A LOT longer out of them and can pass them on when they outgrow them. The quality of moi kidz and gray label are second to none. You can feel the quality by just touching them. One of the reasons im so delighted with my partnering with them. They both produce their clothes in European factories and use organically grown cotton.
I particularly love moi kidz tops. Within 30 seconds of my kids putting them on there’s a stain on them. 30 seconds I kid you not. These tees in the pic have been washed I dunno how many times but have kept their quality. I highly recommend 👌

Okay, so I have decided to do a comparison between places I've visited in India and abroad. Why do I want to do this? Over the last three years or so (that's when I started working and really had money to travel), many people have asked me about travelling abroad and many of my friends from different countries have asked me about India. About where I would rather go if given the choice.
My point is-beauty is everywhere, we just need to keep looking for it wherever we are. There is no right or wrong on travel, there's no golden rule that states "you should know about your own country before venturing into foreign lands". We should just take advantage of our circumstances, such as a long weekend or a business trip out of town, or even a spate of low prices in flight tickets, just pack our bags and GO and discover the incredible natural and cultural richness around us.

Try not to pass out. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t even estimate the percentage of increase in hair on his head.

•Ulster East•

I'm very happy to say I'll be running in the UK General Election under the Social Democratic & Labour Party in the Northern Irish constituency of Ulster East.
I believe that Northern Ireland has been shafted to the side for too long. A land where the Tories can pick off easy seats and count on the Left-Wing to not show up to Westminster. I may be a lefty, but I'm no abstainist. As your MP, I'll find tooth and nail for giving our great region more autonomy and powers from either the Tories or Labour.
I'll gladly help our fellow oppressed like the Scottish SNP and Welsh Plaid Cymru in the Commons in our fight for our sovereignty and freedoms!
Westminster is ignoring our issues, like aging infrastructure and housing, rising poverty and crime rates, religious tensions and uncertainty of peace from organizations like the IRA.
I've been a active and vocal MP in @tponcanada for Northern Ontario, and I can guarantee that I'll bring that same energy and passion to Commons for Ulster East.
If you're ready for Change, meaningful Change, Change for the Better! Then I hope you'll have my back on Election Day, I know I got yours.

Here’s what she had to say:
I was a skeptic. Went through a long detox & at one point believed these products weren’t for me. My friend was persistent in finding the right system that worked for my hair, and here we are 8 months later. 😊
March to November
I use Black & switch off between Revive & Renew shampoos w/Deep Smoothing Conditioner. I also use the detangler & rejuvabeads.
..
I’m now a Market Partner & loving the testimonies customers have sent me! The best part about it all is I didn’t have to bring hot tools overseas and hard water is no longer an issue damaging my hair.
Two years ago, I was nearly beheaded in Belfast.
Over the last decade, Northern Ireland has been establishing a reputation for itself with its world-class screen industry. The most publicized production to have taken place there is the filming of HBO’s Game of Thrones. I traveled to Belfast to explore.
Outside the Belfast International Youth Hostel, I greeted my tour guide, Michael, and off we went to Castle Ward Estate in County Down. As we left the hostel in our wake, Michael wasted no time in putting out a disclaimer to his tour group. “To be frank with you lot, I’m not a Game of Thrones fan so please don’t ask me who my favourite character is because I don’t watch it.” As one, we nodded understandingly – a person had to put food on the table. An explosion of sound erupted from the front of the coach...

“Last week I started chemo for breast cancer. I’m 29 years old and have next to zero family history of cancer. This was the first round of 16 total chemotherapy rounds I will complete over the next 5 months. Needless to say, the chemo effects hit me fast and hard. My face started peeling the next day after, and it was really peeling badly. I already struggle with rosacea and finicky combination type skin. My dear friend Laura Renea Casey sent me a care package with the renew shampoo and the oil serum. I put a few drops of the serum directly on my face. It smelled and felt amazing. The next morning, my skin was baby smooth. No peeling, no redness, no dry patches. I’m in love!” #becausemonat#monathelps#rejuveniqeoil
Dark Hedges, or Kings Road to the people of Westeros, has become one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland and its truly a sight to behold in person.
Had an absolute blast at the Midnight Premiere of AVENGERS: Infinity War with so many awesome friends.

“In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you're really just fine. She asks if you're sure. You say of course you're sure, really, you don't need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don't need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, at that, so long as it's no trouble and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. Then you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting.
In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don't get any damned tea.
I liked the Irish way better.”
