Feminist high school boys ask: Are you a feminist? July 19, 2014. July 19, 2014. They all seem to understand that feminism isn’t. 8216;women trying to become the superior gender’. 8216;women fighting for equality’. But all people, of all demographics, aiming to achieve equality for many oppressed groups. They have come to understand the concept of intersectionality and that feminism, like everything, is multidimensional. The Things I Love. Ted Talk Tuesday: Elizabeth Gilbert.

Ted Talk Tuesday | Miss Courtney

April 15, 2014. Should you live for your résumé … or your eulogy? This one is especially relevant at the moment for young people, like myself, who are stressing over the future. We are constantly questioned on what it is we want to do in the very near future. Do we want to go to university or TAFE? Are we interested in an apprenticeship? What skills do we possess?

https://misscourtneysblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/04/happy-belated-world-smile-day
Happy (Belated) World Smile Day! October 4, 2014. October 4, 2014. As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed late yesterday evening- as one does when one is in bed and can’t sleep- I discovered that it was World Smile Day yesterday, and felt it was imperative that I blog about this brilliant day. Bustle, a news and media website that covers any and all subjects concerning women, enlightened me on this significant day in their article ‘7 Reasons to Smile’. 2 Smiles strengthen the immune system.

Ted Talk Tuesday | Miss Courtney
https://misscourtneysblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/ted-talk-tuesday-7
March 25, 2014. March 24, 2014. This talk is called ‘The Art of Misdirection’. Apollo Robbins makes an interesting point regarding the flaws of human perception and the prediction of human behaviour. His illustration is hilarious and mysterious. It is similar to magic, although it is called ‘deception’ and is ‘a scientific experiment on human perception’. 9 minutes well spent. Ted Talk Tuesday →.

DIY Scrunchie | Miss Courtney
https://misscourtneysblog.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/diy-scrunchie
August 22, 2014. August 22, 2014. I have a friend who has this dark green, velvet scrunchie. It’s pretty big and she wears it as both a hair-tie and on her wrist as a bracelet. She has had it for years and I have always loved it. Recently, I have developed an obsession with scrunchies- more specifically, with vintage patterned scrunchies. Whilst I have fallen head over heels for my friends scrunch(ie/y), I have never invested in one for myself. This week I had a little too much free time, and decided...

August 12, 2014. August 22, 2014. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. 8211; Susan Cain.

Shyness is about fear of social judgment.”. But a lot of the ...

Ted Talk Tuesday: Elizabeth Gilbert | Miss Courtney
https://misscourtneysblog.wordpress.com/2014/05/06/ted-talk-tuesday-elizabeth-gilbert
Ted Talk Tuesday: Elizabeth Gilbert. May 6, 2014. August 12, 2014. I have watched two Elizabeth Gilbert TED Talks (of which I have posted both below). Gilbert is the writer of the wildly successful, Eat Pray Love, among other novels including, -but not limited to- The Signature of All Things and Committed. I love watching TED talks from writers and poets because of the way they are able to aesthetically articulate the meaning behind their speech. Happy International Jazz Day!

December 11, 2014. December 11, 2014. Why do we feel the need to further indulge in television screens and social networking devices in our restaurants and cafés? As if we don’t have enough technological devices as it is! We have our smartphones and tablets, our laptops and, as I recently discovered, our ‘. 8216; (Seriously people, phablets? To be honest, I am borderline outraged by the fact that some restaurant and cafe owners are ‘cool’ with generating even more distractions to conversation...As I scro...

Happy International Jazz Day! April 30, 2014. April 29, 2014. According to UNESCO on Twitter yesterday, today is Intl Jazz Day. As Jazz is one of the many things that can lighten my mood, I felt it was worth spreading the news about this day. Ted Talk Tuesday: Elizabeth Gilbert →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
