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.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

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...
