The RED-volution starts here!
Basically, I'm like a modern-day penpal who talks about blood, all things cosmic + vaginas. A LOT.
I share stuff I don’t talk about on the blog or the ‘gram as well as give you first dibs (and sometimes sweet discounts) on new offerings, workshops + retreats!

:: FEELING ALL OF THE CONTRADICTORY, YET ALL VERY VALID FEELS :: Day 23 of my menstrual cycle, slap dab in the middle of mercury retro, all the ‘stuff’ that’s been simmering under the surface is now coming up to be seen + excavated before this week’s spring equinox, want to deep dive into all that stuff, but also want to watch reality TV. Want to eat all the things, but not the things that are in the house. I want to be alone AND I want to be hugged (but not too much) I want to be in bed (but also want to do stuff).. Y’know, THAT. 📸@sister_shanti you KNOW.

:: WHAT A BLOODY WEEK :: The period doc that one Oscar judge deemed ‘icky’ goes + wins an Oscar (YASSS!) + the BBC cover @endometriosis.uk + their amazing menstrual wellbeing petition win.
It’s about bloody time, right? ・・・ RP: @endometriosis.uk ‘Sex education has been compulsory in England since 2017, but there has been a public consultation about what exactly should be on the curriculum.

All pupils will now learn about menstrual health and the menstrual cycle starting in primary school.’

I want to write something smart + insightful supporting this feature on @cosmopolitanuk - Naomi, you’re great - but right now, I’m ‘icky’. Yes Oscar judge man, I’m currently day 1 + the entire content of my womb is dropping out of my vag. How’s that for uncomfortable?
I wrote ‘Code Red’ back in 2015, I self-published because at the time, publishers thought periods were ‘icky’ too. Thankfully a lot has changed since then, new books about periods are coming out every month, periods are now spoken about publicly + most importantly, with humour, Organisations I love + support like @standforeducation and @bloodygoodperiod are doing incredible work to help bring awareness to period poverty + documentaries like ‘Period. End of a Sentence’ are on mainstream broadcasting channel Netflix.
But clearly, as this dude and his outdated ‘tude prove, there’s still a LOT of work to do. Grrr.
Signed, me, + my icky bleeding vag.

The ‘full moon feels’? Yep, they are a THING.
People don't talk about it a whole bunch, but it's much like the sensitivity that can be felt by many women who become super-sensitive as their oestrogen rises during their menstrual cycle. The fire, the heat, the exposure, the amplification of ALL the senses + well...just about everything, that can be so pleasurable + helpful for some, is actually so bloody painful for others when the moon is full.

I'm much more at home in the darker phases of the moon, these light + bright + 'be seen' phases are not comfy for me.
I cried all day yesterday. Yes, I'm day 28 of my menstrual cycle + ovulated late this cycle so I'm currently in my very own void of course + feeling ALL THE FEELS, but if this phase feels totally the opposite to how you’ve been told you ‘should’ feel, know that you’re not alone.

This Virgo supermoon is bringing some do-it juice to the party and it’s inviting you to drink up. If you haven’t been feeling the Marie Kundo tidy-up-your-life vibes before now, you’ll deffo be feeling them under this full moon. I have a friend who’s a triple Virgo and being with her is how this full moon might feel, like you’ve drank 10 coffees in close succession. So recognise if you’re feeling super sensitive, jittery + like you want to wear moon shades, blame the Virgo vibes.
So for the sensitives amongst us, you're not alone. I dealt with the feels by putting myself in a salt bath with some posh chocolate buttons, reading for three hours with hot tap on top-up duty.

PS: If you're LOVING on this full moon energy, I am high fiving you + not wishing to bring you down in ANY way, ride that wave, I'm rooting for you. From over here. Under a blanket.

While we should never need a reason to send love + kisses, I am all about a day dedicated to love.
Not necessarily the Hallmark bullshit, (aware I sound like a hipster wanker when I say that) but the whole ‘telling someone you dig/respect/want to make out with that they’re loved’ part.

I drew you a kiss from a Minxy Mama because...if today’s shitty for whatever reason, I want you to know that I deffo dig you + respect you - although, unless you’re my husband, Hathor Bjornson, or the hot dude from Aquaman, I probbo don’t wanna make out with you, but I’m sure you’re cool with that.
Big love + kisses.

When working with the SASSY SHE oracle cards, I recommend following Lauren’s lead.
If you don’t menstruate, (or even if you do) today is a new moon (thank bloody goodness for that, those post eclipse/dark moon feels were beyond REAL) so pull 4 cards for each of the main phases of the moon + a fifth one for the overall theme of this coming cycle.
FYI: I can’t speak for all oracle cards, but the SASSY SHE Oracle are simply nudges, reminders and hand squeezes to support you as you remember + trust what you already know.

Big love,

On day one of my cycle, I pull 4 cards for each season of my cycle and a 5th one for the overall theme.
For my summer season (ovulatory phase) I’ve got this card “SACRED”. Though I normally feel energetic during this time, I’ve been working and doing quite a lot recently and haven’t really had a lot of me/ rest time 😴 This is the perfect reminder to honour my body’s needs and take a little bit of time out so I don’t burn out in my summer season ☀️ All about the balance 💗✨⚖️ #sassysheoraclecards

The sun’s in Aquarius, it’s a three year, yesterday’s total eclipse kicked me in the ovaries, so after 18 months of not writing a book, I’m now writing a book. (Because you’d better bloody BELIEVE that I’m going to use the cosmic intel to make the book writing process as ease-full as it can be) and, if I’m feeling the call to take action on my creative vision, there’s a REALLY big chance you are too.

Which is why, starting on Feb 4th 2019, lunar new year, new moon in Aquarius, I’m leveraging the super dynamic ‘let’s bloody do it, bring visions into reality, on our terms, in collaboration + with love’ nature of the cosmic alignments by launching a 28 day SHE IS LIT :: WRITE THE FREAKIN’ BOOK mash up.

It’s not a course. (I wouldn’t know how to do one of those anymore if I tried)
It’s not a deep-dive immersion. (Well, at least I don’t think it is, but I AM a Scorpz, so who knows?) It’s a combination of ALL my practical know-how about how to ACTUALLY write a book (and not just talk about how you’re thinking about wanting to write a book) AND how to make the process as optimal as possible using the cyclic mapping of YOUR Creatrix Codes.

FYI: This is NOT a how to write a book in 28 days. I repeat, we are NOT going to write an entire book in 28 days. I mean, you might, but ultimately, this is a 28 day experience where you will map YOUR creative process in tune with your body, the moon + the cosmos AND gain access to all I know about book writing + publishing industry so you can write a book.

If you’re called, please come join me!

It’s weird when people you don’t ACTUALLY know, but feel like you do, die.
My heart hurts knowing Mary Oliver is no longer here in human form, and yet I’m in the deepest of reverent bows that her fierce, delicious, sourcing word medicine remains.
Thank the goddess for her.
For her knowing exactly what I needed without knowing me.
Her words have rescued me.
Over + over again.
And this quote? This was the quote I wrote in my journal as I began this calendar year.
A reminder of how art ALWAYS saves me. Creating it + experiencing it.
So today, and every fucking day for that matter, let’s save ourselves - write words, heart riff, paint sing, dance - let’s make art.
