What’s your 2021 Word of the Year?

Happy New Year, my friends! It’s been a while, but I’m back and feeling motivated to write again. I’ve seen some people sharing their “word of the year” for 2021. The idea is that instead of writing New Year’s resolutions, you pick a word to guide you for the year. It can be something you want more of in your life or something you’d like to improve at. Perhaps something you’d like to focus on or something to remind you of a goal.

I’m not really a resolution-y person. However, I kind of like the idea of having a focus to come back to, something that guides you. It’s short, snappy and I can easily stick it on a post-it note I see every day. View Post

Weight Stigma Causes Harm

This week Judith Collins (a politician, for those of you not from Aotearoa) made some ignorant comments about fat people. To be honest I’m not all that surprised to see someone in a position of power making ill informed inaccurate comments about marginalised groups of people. I’m not surprised because as a fat Māori woman, it’s something that I notice people doing on an almost daily basis. I wanted to talk for a sec about the fact that weight stigma (and Judith’s comments, which perpetuate it) are harmful. View Post

Face masks and skincare

2020 has brought us a new normal – wearing face masks. As of this week, wearing a face covering is advised where I live, and it’s mandatory on public and passenger transport. I’ve been wearing a mask for the last few weeks, every time I leave my house, and one thing I’ve noticed is how much it affects my skin! There’s been breakouts (aka maskne), dryness, irritation … so I asked Caroline Parker, Head of Education for Dermalogica NZ about face masks and skincare, and what we can do to take care of our skin at the moment.
