Physical activity is great for your body and research has shown that regular #exercise can have a #positiveimpact on #mentalwellbeing. As someone who swims weekly, I always look forward to the feel-good endorphins I get post-swim. Doing as little as a 30mins walk daily can help boost your general health and wellness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spoke with Aisha Arigbabu, fitness enthusiast who shared things she wish she knew when she first decided to pursue a healthier lifestyle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fitness #keepingfit #wellbeing #wellness ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *All posts on Naomi’s Parlour are edited by Ife Agboola
There is no denying that now more than ever, there is an unspoken pressure on #women to have and do everything all at once. That pressure is felt immensely when we become #mothers and have not only our lives to juggle, but also the lives of our children. With the overwhelming message being that “you can have it all”, why would any educated and “woke” woman choose to “just stay at home” to raise kids? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mercy Haruna (@immeiko) made that choice. I first met Mercy when she curated a blog on #motherhood. At the time I was pregnant with my first child and was looking to connect with other mums. Since our first chat a few years ago, we’ve grown to be really good friends. Mercy is a multi talented woman - she has a BA in Visual Communication, an MA in Photography. She’s also a Portrait & Documentary photographer, Content creator and Co-presenter on BBCs Parentland podcast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, she shares with us common misconceptions people have about Stay at Home Mums. Make sure you grab a coffee as it’s an interesting read. 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in @naomisparlour bio 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stayathomemom #feminism #choices #motherslove #motivating #motherhood #sahmlife
Coming next week.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Misconceptions about being #SAHM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do they really do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @immeiko will be talking to us about common misconceptions she’s faced being a Stay at Home Mum to two lovely children 💞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #motherhood #SAHM #breakingstereotypes

I remember when the idea for Naomi’s Parlour came to me. It was a cold day in October and I was on the train with my good friend @chroniclesofafamilysolicitor. We were on our way home from a Women’s Retreat we’d organised with @ireachminds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I left that conference inspired and I wanted to have a space where more women could feel the same way. What better way than to create a platform where we could connect through sharing our own stories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then the self doubt kicked in, Impostor syndrome did it’s thing but I pushed through. I remember doing my Q1 blog plan and saying to myself - I’ll be fine if I can reach 500 views monthly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I really couldn’t have done it without you guys - every like, every share is making a difference in someones life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for engaging with me and I promise to keep the content coming... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to celebrating the little wins 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womensupportingwomen #forwomen #empoweringwomen #blogger #bloggersofinstagram
As someone who comes across as confident, people are surprised when I talk about how often I get Impostor Syndrome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Research shows that 70% of people will suffer Impostor syndrome in their lifetime and in fact, people who are highly ambitious have a higher chance of experiencing it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I shared some tips on how I deal with Impostor Syndrome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio as usual 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ImpostorSyndrome #Women #Career #Blogger #bloggersofinstagram
‘Day in the Life’ series explores the professional lives of working women - women sharing some insight on what they do and how they manage their day-to-day work lives. My first guest is Solicitor, Amanda Oluwapelumi Adeola (@chroniclesofafamilysolicitor ). Amanda specialises in Family Law and has been qualified for 10years. She is currently a partner at BHP Law. Amanda is very passionate about inspiring change and spends time mentoring students who want to start their law career. She is also an advocate for diversity and hosts the Women Lawyers & Mothers events in the North East.

Approximately 1 in 5 adults will experience some sort of mental illness yearly. Common issues are (but not limited to) anxiety, stress and depression. When it comes to mental health, it’s important to be proactive. Taking charge of your mental health and well-being is integral to living a healthy and balanced life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I reached out to Maryam Atoyebi (@malikah_maryam) who’s been very vocal about how she overcame her struggles with #mentalhealth and she was happy to share some tips on how to take charge of yours this new year.

Did you know if you dedicate to make yourself 1% better every day, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better at the end of the year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today on the blog, I talk about Marginal gains and how to help yourself with continuous improvement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #improvement #marginalgains #continuousimprovement # #bettereveryday #womenempoweringwomen #wellness
