Review: Woman Like Me

Hello everyone,


British girl group Little Mix released the music video for their song 'Woman Like Me' and it is absolutely amazing, in my opinion anyway! I am going to write a review of it in this post.





Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirwall are breaking down gender stereotypes and celebrating women in every form in this video. Jesy sings the first line of the song, "I always say what I'm feeling. I was born without a zip on my mouth. Sometimes I don't even mean it. It takes a little while to figure me out." I feel like with these types of lyrics, the girls are each singing about the type of woman they are.


It opens with the girls wearing black leotards, sitting in the back of a vehicle, looking beautiful and fierce! Next we see the girls performing in casual outfits with the van parked outside a hug building and then inside, back in the leotards and doing a dance routine. There are numerous costume changes and they look great in every outfit. Honesty, I've always thought that the Little Mix girls could wear anything and look good! The scenes continuously change from inside the van, to the front of the building, to different rooms inside like a library, dining room and lounge area. I don't know where this video was filmed but it looks like a beautiful location and it is perfect.


There are parts where the girls are doing household chores which are stereotypically "women's jobs" like vacuuming the floor and ironing clothes. We see Jesy eating flowers and spitting them out, Leigh-Anne dancing with the vacuum, Jade spilling tea and Perrie pushing over the ironing board. In the scene where they are sitting at the table, they are eating in a messy way. With these acts, they are rebelling against 'ladylike' stereotypes and getting their message across.





Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jesy and Jade are beautiful, strong and powerful young women and, with this video, they are inspiring girls and women to be exactly who they are. I think this is the best video Little Mix have released.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
