In true @safiyapolat fashion, for our Friday night

In true @safiyapolat fashion, for our Friday night pub quiz bonus round we were challenged to create our own festival cocktail drink set up. This elderflower, gin and prosecco cocktail is just as lethal as it is tasty 👅 (thank you for the memories @leonyjessup... Or lack of 🤪)
〰️
Last night's pub quiz was a great way to destress from a week of emotional and physical exhaustion, thanks for doing the 1 minute silence to honour those who have been brutally taken from us. I fucking love y'all and the beautiful, inspiring, safe space we've nurtured during lockdown. Feeling very blessed to have friends like these 🥰 (and yes, the @silver.hayes lanyard is Photoshopped lool lowe me I'm still in Manny)

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare" tell 'emmm aunty Audre.

Good day to my fellow black people and all our allies only 🖤

I have no more words in me, but I think my twitter and Insta story speaks for itself. Amongst the rage there are very tangible things and guides there for you to start your work as an ally. So, to kick things off, if you're white I challenge you to do one thing today: talk to one other white friend about what has been (and is continuously) happening. And if you have black friends, check in on them. This shit is traumatising. If you've got nothing of substance to say please don't come to me though lol (or any other black person) we're tired and our inboxes are full

Start of the month @shannonwintersx and I were meant to go to Vienna to meet and interview the incredible people behind @qwstion_official, who innovated bananatex® – the world's first durable, waterproof fabric made purely from banana plants. We met the co-founder Hannes Schönnegger at @wearepremierevision in Feb, but as we couldn't go over to meet them in their creative space, we brought Qwstion to us. And it slapssss 👉🏾 me in @qwstion_official #bananatex Hip Pouch in crossbody mode and natural white .

Imagine looking this momentarily grumpy while on holiday – in Santorini of all places – living your best tanned, melanin popping, seafood consuming, boo'd up life. Looool you'll *never* catch me say a bad word about anywhere outside of my house after this 😶

week 4 of self-isolation got me like 🙃 | settle down for a long one cus issa RANT

The collective fatigue and trauma we're all facing is working in their favour. Shit man every day is exhausting *deep sigh* at this point I'm having to dip in and out of socials to preserve my own mental health so I get it. I don't even know how y'all are running 5k. I'm just stopping to reflect on where we were a month ago, because today marks a month since I wrote my article about how the outbreak has seemingly made the rich greedier and the poor poorer. And oh boy how things have changed nationally and personally
.
I really glossed over the fact I had a breakdown at the start of self isolation, which was worsened by the week when Boris told us to say goodbye to loved ones, I decided I couldn't return home for my mum's safety, was then left to self-isolate by myself in Manchester (have since had mates move in and the extra company has been lovely), and haven't been able to follow up with MH diagnosis. On Wed 18th March I probably reached the darkest place I've been in a while but luckily reaching out to lit everyone I could saying to check on me, meant I woke up to a flood of love and support the next day and I honestly haven't been in the same place since. So much darkness and evil has come from this outbreak, but I can't deny how much of a necessary reset and pause it has been for myself and those around me. Shit still needs to be done but I think the panic-stricken urgency we placed on everything has been lifted, and some days I feel like I can breathe in ways I haven't for a while. But I know this ain't the same for many other people, who are currently mourning, fighting for their lives or undergoing the maddest struggles outside of, yet impacted by, this outbreak. Although a month old and so much has changed since, I thought I'd post about this article I wrote in peak frustration and urgency to digest the madness that was only starting to kick off. If you want to escape into the mind of a frustrated yute you can read the article on my website via link in bio. Self care is way more than face masks and bubble baths but hope this pic provides you endless lols. Stay safe 🖤

(3/3) For my coronavirus article I wrote around a month ago (up on my website via link in bio) about how this outbreak had seemingly made the rich greedier and the poor poorer, I also designed some virus characters that I've ironically now become quite fond of. In staying true to my cancelled theme, I hope this COVID-19 outbreak will be cancelledt AS-mf'ing-AP. Until then I guess these caricatures can come out to play in the form of another design for @sophiefilomena's competition 🤒 | which one is your fave out of the 3?

(1/3): this piece was inspired by my lil plant/torso tattoo I designed. Seeing it everyday brings me so much joy so why not design earrings to match? If 'Rona hadn't cancelled our whole final project, @shannonwintersx and I would be making sustainable jewellery and components from waste materials rn *sigh* so was fun playing around on Illustrator and Photoshop for @sophiefilomena's competition instead. And since they said you can enter as many times as you want... A gal got a lil carried away. Onto the next posts 🙈

Hair day leggggggo. Absolute swear by this deep conditioner as it has been my go to for about 4-5 years now (combine it with 30-45 mins in a steamer cap and you won't even know yourself anymore), so thought I'd share it with yous in case anyone fancies getting DIY with it during this lockdown 💀 if you're a bad bihhh swipe to the end for a special treat | recipe by unitedkinkdom.blogspot.uk
🥑🥚: protein strengthens hair
🥑🥥 & oil: fatty acids softens hair
