Hey Strangekittens! As you know, I do a nail tutorial every Friday, and take a break every 3-4th week. Changing your nails every week is a bit harsh on your nails, so taking care of them is important. On a normal week: Normally I do the nail tutorial on Wednesday, to post on Thursday night. Usually I only keep the manicure on over the weekend, so I can baby and … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. I wanted to explain why I don’t use Vegetable/seed/grain oils, as I’ve been asked and flamed a bit for using butter. I just KNOW this post is going to cause some argument. But this is my scientifically researched, educated opinion on this. Mainstream media is started to come around to the fact that it’s not FAT that makes you fat, it’s all the sugar we’ve been shovelling down. Firstly, I don’t think the human body … Continue reading
Well of course I effing can, I hear you say. Well duh, that’s what this site is all about. And the answer is obvious. But an individual answer is not what I’m after. It’s a collective opinion of society. This is something I talk about constantly: The fact that our personal views about ourselves are VASTLY different from what our culture is telling us to be. Since this is the internet, i’ll clarify that … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. Yesterday I saw a wonderful post about how (the author’s) body type affects where she shops. Obviously to some extent this applies to everyone, but how? Let’s look at this from my personal experience. I hate shopping for clothing. I really, really do. It’s not even a size thing any more, now that I’ve gone down a few sizes. To start off with, i’m dramatically taller than average, which I’ve mentioned before. 5’11 to be exact, and … Continue reading

The first one, is that from next Wednesday, we’ll be posting yummy, healthy recipes, with pictures, of course. The second one, is that we’ll be doing a big giveaway in this month! Pictures and details to come. But if you want in on the prizes (including one off merchandise especially made for this competition), you gotta: -Register as a member … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. This just recently happened in my city. I’m honestly not shocked, just appalled. Denied access to the morning-after pill by an anti-choice pharmacist | Vancouver, Canada | Straight.com. Whether the pharmacist is anti-choice or not, she has chosen a job where practice is governed by LAW, not by her personal beliefs. This was a disgusting abuse of power on her part. Sadly, this happens every day. In Canada, the Plan B pill is available … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. Cats are so chill, and here’s 5 life lessons you can learn from them. 1. Be punctual. Have you ever tried to sleep in past when you feed your cat normally? Yeah, not happening. On that note… 2. If you want something. Ask. Cats will always let you know, loudly, what they want. You know what you want, the best way to begin is to start asking questions! Make yourself … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. I saw something that made me happy today. Pinterest Bans ‘Thinsporation’ and Pro-Anorexia Content. This is a great step. I was seeing a lot of ‘thinspiration’ pics on Pintrest and reported every one i saw. No one should have to feel the need to go to unhealthy extremes to lose weight, or look a certain way. I’m all about strong, healthy body image here. This relates to what i wrote … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. I’ve been seeing a lot of articles on body image lately, and heavily targeted at Photoshopped pictures. Let me explain, from the perspective of someone that works in fashion photography, why I think this action is badly targeted, although it is of course, well intentioned. This will probably offend someone. Good, you should get angry. That means you think and have an opinion. Take this for example: Israel Outlaws Too-Thin Models. … Continue reading
I'm a published photographer, blogger, designer and amateur Paleo chef. I'm also maybe a crazy cat lady.
