Shout out to my sixth form Notre Dame which didn’t even question once that i have dreads with the tips dyed an ‘unnatural colour’...

I remember countless times black brothers and sisters were told to change their hair or something about them, that didn’t fit in at that school. Due to the deeply ingrained racism and prejudice, subtle or not we were oppressed and didn’t always know how to stand up to.

I remember at the start of year 9 I got pulled into an office because I had my hair dyed blonde and in corn rows. I had been told by two teachers Mr Chitty and Mr Rigney that it wasn’t natural to have my hair coloured and that my hair style wasn’t ‘appropriate.’

It’s always a balance but this is quite a big study to understand the impact of #processed foods on our bodies. What we do know is that these #foods rank in the top 5 of things that can cause #cancer . You can read & ignore or we can be curious. #health https://t.co/vOo7MDE1LC

This is at one good reason why finding a life balance is important. “Lead researcher Prof Kaye Wellings said the "sheer pace of modern life" may be a reason why many people are having less sex”. #stress #mentalhealth #overwhelm #sleep #sex #partners https://t.co/1BXbAOH4Ht

Children just want to play, they don’t have any bias or hatred unless they are taught to. Seems some parents are appalling role models. #bame #children #football #hatred #racism #sport #parents #freedom #diversity #bullying https://t.co/GgrLipiNBk

Why avoiding most food #additives is probably a wise idea. “The additive, used mainly as a whitening and brightening agent in sweets, chewing gum, white sauces and cake icing, is known as the artificial colour E171 on food labels.” https://t.co/v86q6d1xNF

Still laughing after asking non-French friend if her middle-aged neighbour was handsome. Long pause. 'Well yes.' Another pause: 'He has all his own teeth.' We apply different standards in La France Profonde.

If you read our feature on inland Brittany you'll know how lively Callac is and this gorgeous house is a stone's throw from the town square. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, it's a successful B&B but could equally be a great family home; €235,400 https://t.co/haBuXchiCt
