What Is Perfection?

In order to have a better idea of perfection i asked a bunch of different creative people what came to there minds when i asked them about perfection. here is what they said.

Bethany Lewis,

“Perfection is when something doesn't need altering or improving. But it's almost impossible for anything to be seen as perfect because everyone has their own opinions, preferences and way of viewing things.”

Freya Primrose,

“Perfection is the ideology that we will have no flaws. People strive to obtain this physically and mentally, each to their own different interpretations of the word. As with Hunan nature, we strive to seek and obtain the approval and praise of others. While trying to achieve this sense of perfection we all become engrossed with trying to create our perfect image of that, completely blinded by the fact that everyone’s individual perceptions are as unique as fingerprints. Yet the idea of never succeeding in this to some people, is almost as scary as blending in.”

Haydn Robe,

“People see themselves in two ways - the person they want to be and the person they see in the mirror. Perfection in people is when those two things are the same.”

Amelia Maskrey,

“Some people will strive for perfection but only a few will realise that its not achievable?lord knows. what even is perfection?”

Bryony Shan,

“For me, perfection can be the stereotypical aesthetically pleasing side such as; aligned objects, colour schemes that compliment each other and perfectly tailored to the body suits. The other side for me is the imperfect perfection. The more worn in and care-free something is the more I like it; such as second hand clothing with worn motifs and holes in, books with broken spines and browned pages, paint palettes that have different coloured and shaped spatters of paint stained on to them. Perfect is when the music in your earphones flows seamlessly from one ear to the other, bright white new socks and that new car smell. Anything that makes my mind feel at ease even for a split second is perfection for me. Anything that makes my mind feel at ease even for a split second is perfection for me.”

Like all good things, summer (and all its barbecues and beach days) must come to an end. Going back to school is all early alarm clocks, homework and routine and I feel like the summer past in a blink of an eye.

We've sorted out the new school shoes - bought from clarks of course, bags and uniforms all good to go.

Had to get the classic back to school photos of course - and yes I had to join in 😂

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 🌈

Ever wonder why June is pride month? This history lessons starts with the Stonewall Riots.

The story unfolds in the late 1960s, a time when LGBTQ+ individuals faced rampant discrimination and social stigma. In the midst of these challenging circumstances, a sanctuary emerged—a place called the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village. This bar became a refuge for queer individuals, offering a sense of belonging in a world that often denied them their true selves.

In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a monumental event unfolded. Fueled by a shared desire for liberation and justice, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back against a police raid, refusing to be silenced any longer. The ensuing days of protest, known as the Stonewall Riots, marked a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Pride Rises from the Ashes: In the wake of the Stonewall Riots, LGBTQ+ communities across the United States felt a renewed sense of resilience and determination. The following year, on the anniversary of the riots, the first Pride parades were organized in various cities.

These parades served as a poignant reminder of the power of unity and a testament to the unwavering spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.

In 1978, the iconic rainbow flag, designed by artist Gilbert Baker, unfurled its vibrant hues at the San Francisco Pride parade.

This flag became a universal symbol of Pride, representing the beautiful diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and the compassion that binds us all together.

The beautiful thing about the LGBTQ+ community is its rich diversity. It’s important to keep in mind that not everyone within the LGBTQ+ community will identify with all the terms we commonly associate with it.

Each person’s journey is different, and we should respect and honor their self-identified pronouns and identities.

Create inclusive space where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected for who they truly are. Let’s celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and use the terms they prefer, spreading pride month memes, love, compassion and understanding along the way.

Some people are d*ck heads. Some people act like d*ck heads. There are d*ck heads everywhere.

Begin with acceptance. I don’t mean condoning their behavior or being somebody’s doormat. Acceptance here means acknowledging that this sort of thing happens in our world. People act unfairly. Drivers do ignorant things. Co-workers upset us. Some parents are judgey. Much of the struggle that gets us stuck after these encounters is our insistence that we can’t believe they did that. Release this resistance when you notice it. Try saying instead, "Sometimes people are like that.”

Most of the time when we’re caught off guard by d*ck heads, we later think of a perfectly devastating comeback that we feel sure would have put the other person in their place. However, our fantasies about how things could have gone probably aren’t realistic.

In my experience, obnoxious people are incredibly skilled at deflecting comebacks and turning them back on their source. They probably have a lot more practice than you do at being a d*ckhead, so they’re better at it. It’s fun to imagine having the last word, but most likely we wouldn’t have the satisfaction we imagine. For this reason, we can let go of regret and accept that we’re just not that skilled at being unkind.

Being treated badly can lead to a sort of “meta-irritation” -- being upset about being upset. We might know it’s pointless to keep dwelling on the incident but we keep replaying it. The more we try to force ourselves to stop thinking about it, the more it intrudes on our awareness.

Rather than fighting what the mind is doing, shift your perspective. No matter what you’re thinking or feeling, take a half-step back and observe it. Notice what experience you’re having -- the physical sensations in your body, the effects on your breathing, the thoughts going through your mind. Watch the anger and rumination, rather than completely identifying with them.

You might believe implicitly that other people determine your happiness: If they treat you well, you feel content; if they don’t, you feel upset. But in truth, others’ behavior is only ever about them, and our well-being doesn’t have to depend on what they do.

To mark the fact we are now on the 2nd December (ew) here's a flash back Friday of our first Christmas as a family of 4!

Not sure how willing the kids would be this year to wear matching pyjamas and go to a crib service together - my now tweenager may burn up a church with her scowls of disdain at being around people singing 😂

Since this photo, the past 5 years we've all changed so much but also stayed the same in many ways. First up, all 5 years older (ew) and secondly, still together, still making it through. Survived Lockdowns together, we've all each had coronavirus and made it through, Trix has started Secondary School, Winnie started Primary school this year, there's more but it's early morning and I'm 100% sure no one can be bothered to read my rants at 8am on a Friday morning when all everyone wants to do is make it through the day and get to their jammies and hot coco - unless you're one of those social humans and you're going to get dressed up tonight, hit the down and down those margaritas 🍹

To summarise though - my kids laugh at me for my love of photographs and videos but for me, time moves so fast, we grow so fast and sometimes all we've got is those nostalgic passing moments. The times we were going through it, oh my days newborn a newborn baby and 2 other kids as a single parent is HARD, literally some days I questioned (still question) if I'm up for this mammoth task - but I look back on this photo and it's one of my happiest memories (I sound so cliché)

𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘫𝘢𝘮 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘴. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 🍓 made at @easycooklouth

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 250g plain flour

• 70g icing sugar, plus about 2 tbsp for dusting

• 8g vanilla sugar, or 8g caster sugar plus 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 150g butter, cut into cubes

• 2 egg yolks

• 100g redcurrant jelly (or raspberry jam)

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

STEP 1

For the shortcrust pastry, sift the flour and icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it is incorporated and then mix in egg yolks. Knead everything into a compact smooth dough. Wrap the dough and chill it for 1 hour.

STEP 2

Remove the dough from the fridge and bring it to room temperature for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a long roll and divide it into 60 equal portions. Form a small ball from each portion and place it on a baking sheet covered with baking parchment (you will need two or more sheets). Press a dip (for the jam) into each ball with the handle of a wooden spoon.

STEP 3

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the jelly or jam in a saucepan until it melts. Use a spoon to fill the dips in the dough balls.

STEP 4

Bake for 12-15 minutes, then allow to cool completely. Finally, dust the cookies with some icing sugar.

Enjoy!! 🍋 🍓

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗢𝗡𝗘

Carefully separate the Easter egg in half along the seam. (Use a knife dipped into a bowl of hot water to cut through the seam rather than slicing, as it may break the chocolate.)

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗧𝗪𝗢

Tip the digestive biscuits into a bowl or food bag and bash to crumbs with the end of a rolling pin. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Spoon this into the Easter egg halves and pack down gently using the back of the spoon. Chill until needed.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘

Mix the mascarpone, soft cheese, icing sugar, chocolate spread and cocoa together in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the double cream to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit bases in the Easter eggs. Gently level the surfaces with a palette knife or spatula, then chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight until firm and set.

You may be left with extra cheesecake filling, depending on the size of your Easter eggs – this can be spooned into glasses over extra digestive crumbs for another treat.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥

Scatter the set cheesecake-filled eggs with mini chocolate eggs or other Easter treats, then drizzle with caramel or melted chocolate to serve.
