Instagram is my jam... 

LET'S TALK ABOUT... SKIN // Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in the body? Yup, it's pretty fucking cool 👊 • Did you also know that... 1. Our skin is 1.5 - 2 square metres long 🖐 ° 2. It protects us from pathogens (that cause disease) 😷 ° 3. Skin also holds more than 1000 sensory nerve endings 👏 ° 4. And our skin helps regulate our body temperature so we don't DIE of excess heat or cold - to name but a few things. ☃️☀️ PRETTY AWESOME! * Yet despite this - ° we complain about cellulite, stretchmarks or pigmentation 😑 • And we get 1000s of products marketed to us to fix 'our problem areas' that we simply don't need😭 • Babe, it doesn't matter if you have scars, marks, blemishes, hair or no hair 🙅‍♀️ • Truthfully, your body is beautiful, highly accurate, biological machine of WONDER. And your skin is magic - actuals 💖 • So next time you're in the shower or getting dressed, take a moment to appreciate how amazing your skin truly is 🤘 Harri X • • Pic from @rawbeautytalks
GIRLS ON TOUR// Yesterday, Becky @antidietriotclub and I got to deliver our life drawing workshop at Brasenose College at The University of Oxford - part of their diversities week 🖌 • During our workshop, we encourage people to try life modelling for themselves (in whatever state of nakedness they feel comfortable with) to see how it feels to be looked at objectively (as nothing but shape and line) and without judgment. It's not compulsory to get involved though so we never know how it'll go down 🖍 • HOWEVER we had THE BEST group who totally got involved and the atmosphere was lovely, super supportive. Thanks for having us @brasenosecollege we had a blast 💖 (They even got us these mugs as presents) too cute • Want us to come do a workshop for you? Dm me! We absolutely getting out and about across the country. 🚗 • (Fun fact - Becky actually went to Oxford so she showed me her old stomping ground 😊) Xx
EAT UP // Hi loves, Very excited to share this with you. Last week I was lucky enough to ask the wonderful @ruby.tandoh what her best advice would be for someone wanting to heal their relationship with food and get off diets (when so often food is seen as the enermy) 🌮 ° Ruby's answer was so interesting that I had to put the whole quote in full. Here it is... ° --------------- ° Ruby says: 'One of the most simple things I can recommend is for people to absorb images and descriptions of food! 🍉 Read the bits of Harry Potter where feasts just appear, unbidden and abundant. 🍦 Watch Tampopo, which shows all the weird, unsavoury, sexy, dreadful ways that food can intersect with life 🍜 Revisit the Roald Dahl books, where food is both heinous (bits of cornflake in a beard! a giant peach with a man-sized worm in it!) and magnificent (giant rivers of molten chocolate!).🍫 All of these depictions of food and eating serve to remind us that there is so, so much more to food and eating than just getting nutrients into our bodies. It’s emboldening and empowering'🍬 ----------------- ° YES RUBY! I absolute love this advice. What do you think? ° Do you have any particular food scenes in movies that you love?For me, the imaginary food fight in 'Hook' is one that stayed with me since childhood. Magical 🍑🥞 Let me know what you think! And defo check out 'Eat Up' because it's genuinely great ❤ ° Harri xx #eatupweek
THEM: 'YOU HAVE SUCH A PRETTY FACE' ME: 'YEAH. FUCK OFF'. // • • This phrase, 'You've got such a pretty face' has haunted me my whole life. When I heard it, in my mind, it just confirmed that everything below the neck was disgusting. And to be fair, I was told on several occasions (by total arseholes I was unfortunate enough to meet) that if only I lost some weight then I'd be 'hot'. 😡 • And this is a huge problem I find with my clients - WAY too many of them are cutting ourselves off at the neck like I used to. • Not minding their faces but wishing for a body transplant. ☢ Sadly toxic comments like this only in compounding these ideas. ☢ • • * * * Part of accepting your body is realising that you as much your THIGHS as your EYES * * * ❤ • Your body is WORTHY of love regardless of what it looks like. 🙌 • Anyone telling you that you have such a pretty face and inadvertently (or not) shaming your body can (quite frankly) KINDLY FUCK OFF. 🤬 • I never had the courage or the confidence back in the day to say this but now I 1000% would. • Do you know what will help heal the relationship between your mind and your midriff? A heap of self-kindness. ❤ • You can be kind, stay soft with a rebel heart. 💪 • Dicks will be dicks. You don't need that shit in your life.🚫 • And you definitely don't need to hold on to negative comments. (I know it hurts though darling) • Feel sorry for those people who are so blinded by societal standards that they cannot fully appreciate beauty in all its forms. 🦄 • How we measure up to a thin ideal and beauty standard is totally irrelevant to how happy you're ALLOWED to be. ❤ • I see you. I love you. Harri x
