  • BUMPS, LUMPS & CONTOURS OF THE FEMALE LANDSCAPE My Facebook feed is littered with advertisements for shapewear. These are modern day corset contraptions that, once you’ve squeezed your body into the shapewear, it’s guaranteed to make you feel ‘sexy, strong and confident’. And that’s a direct quote from a shapewear website. To be honest, part of me is attracted to the seemingly magical transformation that happens once you pull on the shapewear, covering ample thighs and wobbly stomach, to reveal a curvaceous figure without the lumps and bumps. I’ve begun to wonder what it would feel like to have an appearance that hid the evidence of carrying three large babies full term and my previous self-destructive attitude towards food. What if I could be sexy, strong and confident too? All it takes is shapewear. Then what would happen when I unleashed the flesh. I feel a rush of ecstasy when I remove my bra at the end of the day – surely after having your body wrapped from thighs to under-boob will create bigger euphoria? That alone would be worth my body being wrapped up all day so I can appear to have a more media-friendly figure. Okay, sign me up. Especially as there’s a 50 percent sale for US Mother’s Day. What mother doesn’t want to be reminded that their body doesn’t meet society’s standards after it has served her, and her child, through pregnancy and birth. Seriously though, there is a lot of healing that needs to be done so women can feel sexy, strong and confident without having to appease someone else’s idea of what an acceptable or beautiful body looks like. If you wear shapewear, I respect your choice. But I don’t respect the marketing behind the products and I definitely don’t respect a society that subconsciously pressures women into moulding their bodies a particular way. Let’s not shove ourselves into synthetic tubes to appear more acceptable and fatten the pockets of corporations selling on our insecurities. Read the rest of the post at lynthurman.com
  • There's not much of the woods left in Gosport but a few minutes from me, there's The Spinney. Each spring, it's a blanket of bluebells. #gosport #hampshire #spinney #bluebell #bluebells #woods #spring #nature #beautiful
  • Beyond the hedgerows, magic awaits.
  • After a busy week, it was great to spend time outside in the sunshine (which is very rare on a bank holiday weekend). Even got daring and ditched the long sleeves. We took a picnic to a small, tucked-away, wildlife garden that I didn't even know existed until a few weeks ago. It's one of those magical places that feel as if it's a place between worlds. It also has tales of ghosts and secret tunnels attached to it which is always a bonus, in my opinion. While we were there we saw foxes, squirrels, many birds, pond skaters, bees and butterflies. It was so peaceful, barely any visitors. I feel very grateful for an afternoon of tranquility and grounding. What are you grateful for today? #saturdayselfie #saturday #gosport #hampshire #witch #witchy #pagan #witchlife #witchesofinstagram #witches

  • Spent yesterday afternoon with this lovely bunch picking up rubbish on Hurst Spit. Most of the litter was dog poo bags that people had thrown on the rocks - so sad, no respect for nature. My daughter and Rowan were superstars as they were able to get in smaller places. We wouldn't have filled 3 bags of rubbish without their help. #paganpickers #litterheroes #beachclean #beachcleanup #pagan #pagansofinstagram #witch #mothernaturerocks #litter #rubbish #hampshire #litterhero
