Hey! I'm Serena, a yogi and blogger based in London. Here's where I share the journey of a plantbased, natural, active lifestyle, along with ethical and eco-friendly finds :)
Cruelty-free vegan bathtime 👶🏻🛀 This week we've been trying out @goodbubbleuk's baby bath range 👣 including the Gruffalo bubble bath 🐗 . A lot of larger companies aren't certified as cruelty-free and have questionable ethics 🙅🏻‍♀️ but these come with @theoriginalvegansociety accreditation ➕ the leaping bunny logo 🐰 and they're available at @bootsuk 💙 . I've written up a full blog post on the whole range 🛁💧 at: ✨serenalee.co.uk✨ ...or through the link in my profile ☺️☝️ . What do you use in the bath for little ones? 💛 . #bootsuk
Most days I feel pretty cool with my body ✌️ and find it easy to thank it for all the things it does for me. . Some days I still feel crappy about it though for ✨no good reason✨. I'm fully aware we've just been taught all these insecurities 🚫 so why do they still come up time and time again? . My belly button still looks like a bruised fruit and my 🌺 still sometimes feels like it's gonna fall out when I squat 😅. I know that it's all okay! But it still creeps up 🙅🏻‍♀️😩. . Then I feel guilty for feeling this way when I'm so lucky to have a healthy little dumpling 👶🏻 and try to suck it up but it still. creeps. up. 🚫🙅🏻‍♀️🚫🙅🏻‍♀️👊 . What are the remedies for this?!? Any good accounts to follow for body positivity & self-love, particularly postpartum? 🤰🏻💛 . 2015 vs 2018. I grew an extra heart between these two photos and want to help her to never unlearn self-love ♥️.
The Four Agreements by @donmiguelruiz has ignited a beautiful change in my mindset 🙏📚 Have you read it yet? 💛 . For 50% of the book I was amazed in the way that he laid out exactly what I already believe 💆🏻‍♀️, just more articulately, teaching me how to better voice those beliefs. For the other 50% I was in awe learning how to do my best, better. . Every page encourages us to truly live our best lives 💯. I have tweaked my nightly evening prayer to include the Four Agreements, and the link to the full prayer is in my profile ☝️ or at ✨serenalee.co.uk✨ if anyone would like to read ☺️ . Have a beautiful beautiful evening 😌🌌
Our strawberries are all gone now 🍓, but we have plenty of blackcurrants 🍇 and golden raspberries and heaps of kale 🌿 . How is your garden coming along? Did you try to grow anything this year? Four years ago I regrew some little spring onions on my windowsill 🐣 and watched them give me free food. It was magic to me 🔮 and that was my first go at home-growing ✨ . If you've never grown any fruit or veg, don't be afraid to start really small like I did ☺️ Peppe & I have lots of tips for urban gardening in a small space on my blog where we've been posting our garden journey since January 👩🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾 . The link to the most recent post is in my profile ☝️ or at: ⭐serenalee.co.uk⭐ . Have a lovely evening! 🌌
🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻 I'm back with an update on the @dyson Pure Cool now that we've tested it during the heatwave! 🌞 Every year we get our 1980s fan out of the attic and let the big strings of attic dust fly in our faces attached to the fan 🙈 does this happen to anyone else?! . The biggest difference for Peppe & I has been the fact it cools you without hitting you with waves of direct air (whether revolving or static) 🌀💨 You cool down gently and it feels fresh without blowing right on you. All whilst purifying our heavy East London polluted air 💆🏻‍♀️🌿 . What other ways are there to cool down in summer? Is eating ice cubes all day long socially acceptable? 🤔❄️ #dyson #ad #passtheicecubes
Belly talk ☺️💜 In yoga asana practice, the essence is the breath. It is the basis of everything. Yoga unites breath and body as one - as it should be. . Look at all the inversion photos posted on Instagram: #headstand, #handstand, #forearmbalance. Half the time we should be breathing in ✨deeply✨, expanding our stomachs big & wide 🐁, breathing into our bellies. The other half of the time we should be breathing out, belly drawing inwards and becoming flatter 🐀. . It's no coincidence that the vast majority of yoga photos we see on Instagram are of sucked-in bellies 💁🏼‍♀️. It's what we've been taught is beautiful, acceptable, worthy. . How do you feel about breaking the cycle together? 🕉️ #realyogabellies
