Health

 

Health is wealth. It’s the foundation on which everything else sits. At Cleopatras we take an East meets West approach to health, believing in the connection between the mental and the physical health. We won’t tolerate anything connected to fat-shaming or promoting an ideal outside of what ideal looks like to you and your lifestyle.

The Great Privilege Of Having A Vagina

There are many aspects of myself which I have worked on. I’ve worked on my patience, my work ethic, my ability to forgive. I’ve gone vegan, bleached my hair, taken accutane, and hit the treadmill. I’m a firm believer in the power of an individual to shape their life and exercise control over how they develop.  A BBC Documentary a few years ago introduced me to the concept of plastic surgery for your vagina. It came out when I was reaching the end of puberty and for the first time people other than myself were seeing this particular part of my body. I watched the documentary and loosely wondered whether I should consider the surgery but without too much thought decided the investment wasn’t necessary. A few years later and TV Show, “The Only Way Is Essex”, comes to England.
