olivia dean is really talented neo-soul singer (elton john boosted her and she got nominated for the mercury prize) so if harry is at all influenced by that I would love a soul/motown type record from him

I hadn’t heard her stuff before today - listened this morning - and I also just read a bit about her and looked at her insta page (what’s weird also is quite a few of my friends follow her so idk why I just totally missed that she existed) and I know it’s clearly very early days but holy shit this girl seems soooo well suited for Harry lmao? Like holy shit? She’s incredibly talented musically (like beyond beyond beyond). She says she hates being boxed into one musical style and wants to explore psychedelic and folk sounds a lot more and she says she regrets letting other people tell her what to do when she started and really actively wants to stop doing that and only make things she’s very into (which I think Harry would deeeeply understand lmao). She’s legit into fashion - both edgy haute couture stuff and like just generally clothes. She is suuuper family orientated (she wore her granny’s picture on her chest for her Glasto performance and it’s double cool because she’s been saying for a few years that her biggest dream is playing Glasto at some point in her life). She’s a very ardent feminist. She is very into traveling and has said she hates doing the very touristy things and rather enjoys experiencing the local culture like under the radar. She does social media detoxes because being online too much stressed her out a lot. She enjoys sports of all kind and does a lot of yoga and enjoys swimming (she’s said she hates the cold tho so that’ll be something he has to convince her about lol or she’ll just watch him and take the piss) and cycling (she apparently cycles a lot around London). Aside from the yoga she’s also into some other wellness crap (she’s talked about saunas a few times and like which types of incense she enjoys most) and she goes to therapy and is a big proponent of people going to therapy lol. They both self-identify as dog people. She actively cares about privacy and has said that one of the challenges with becoming more famous is people coming over to meet her which makes her feel awkward (although she’s obviously very grateful to her fans - much like him she seems SUPER appreciative of fans actually). She says she can get really shy - as a kid it was almost crippling shyness and now obviously it’s not crippling but she struggles with imposter syndrome and just feeling shy/awkward. She is super into knitting (I don’t think Harry knits lol but it’s the kind of hobby I can imagine him finding super fucking cool lol and asking her to knit him lots of shit). She rented a bright yellow van to tour in and play socially distanced gigs during lockdown from and that seems like something Harry would find/thinks is super cool. She’s said her ultimate era to live in would be the 70s and I think Harry would agree lol. She’s very funny and silly and fun from the interviews I read and the videos I watched but also knows a lot of stuff and is very interested in a lot of things.

The only thing I can find that really separates them is Olivia is reaaaally into West Ham and Harry’s always rooted for Man U lol but that seems like a reason for fun banter rather than a profound disagreement 😂💀 especially since the point is they both love footie. Also she grew up proper upper middle class and as we know Harry didn’t but her family seems super normal and very cool and she loves them all sooooo much. She can’t shut up about how much she loves her mum and dad and how cool her granny was. They also didn’t have a background in entertainment at all, like she got into the Brit school by auditioning and convinced her family to buy her a secondhand piano at that point just to start learning so yeah like quite normal people. Also she says she really values alone time and needs to be by herself now and then which is the opposite of Harry but he ought to get better at alone time to be perfectly honest so that’s also not a bad thing.

I also haven’t found her referencing Harry a single time - and she’s spoken about a lot of celeb crushes and musical crushes and inspos and contemporary artists she admires - which I bizarrely feel like is a good fit for him? Like she has never appeared to give an iota of a fuck about Harry Styles™️ but based on her interests and personality would really enjoy chilling with Harry the lad and actually working with Harry the musician even.

she’s also like BEYOND stunning. All of Harry’s gfs/hookups are always very pretty wbk but this girl is absolutely unreal and apparently v chill about it too like a few of the interviews I read mentioned she shows up with no makeup and she’s said while she loves fashion she hates having to dress up too often and doesn’t like high heels etc.

Very early days for them but I tentatively ship tf out of this lol.

002.  EXTRA ORDINARY

TW: DROWNING, ALCOHOL

near death experience…  Himko wanted to be famous, it was always as simple as that but to make or break in the big city, no matter how much money that her daddy has, she still had to network in order to get it. she was not the best with business conversations  or stale dinners or drinks in rundown bars, she was more a girl who was the life of the party and so exactly that is what she would do. She managed to sneak her way into some D-Listers Celebrity party with samples. Yet she got a little more carried away with partying, one tequila...three...tequila....four tequila, floor....of the swimming pool. She was little too drunk to remember but woke up in Urgent Care and was told she was lucky she made it that night. From their she got a pity recording studio time...that helped her work out her powers. Not so much a record deal.

power…  Siren Song, the ability to enchant and compel others who fall influence under the hauntingly beautiful voice of the siren song. However, it is not as simple as Himiko singing and all falling under her enchantment. For people to succumb to her Siren Song, she must sing a song backwards that contain the name and command that she wishes the listener to obey. The influence only lasts for 10 minutes and 43 seconds after the song has concluded after which the enchantment would fade away. The Siren Song is only temporary. Her power is best used for interrogation, assisting in short tasks.

drawbacks / vulnerabilities… Those who have been influenced from her song will remember they have been influenced unless they song states otherwise. The more awareness that someone has of her power, the higher a persons resistance will be to her Siren Song. That being said, those of strong will are able to break the enchantment instantly compared to those who may be intoxicated as their mind is far more impressionable. Himiko is able to compel at most 3 people at a time, anything more than that her voice will be strained until she gets her voice back. Side effects include, a dry throat, constantly chapped lips and possible strained voice.

codename…  Siren...would have been the obvious choice for her but she decided to name herself Songstress at it has a slight air of mystery to it. She picked it and did the marketing for it, to the right people.

Embrace Serenity: Discover the Magic of a Slow Yoga Session in the UK

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a moment to breathe and reconnect with yourself can feel like a luxury. That’s where a slow yoga session in the UK comes in—a mindful practice that’s transforming how people approach wellness. Combining gentle movements, deep stretches, and mindful breathing, slow yoga offers a peaceful escape from daily stress. Let’s explore why this serene practice is gaining popularity and how it can change your life.

1. What Is Slow Yoga? A Gentle Path to Inner Calm

Slow yoga isn’t just about moving slowly; it’s a holistic approach to relaxation and mindfulness. Unlike fast-paced vinyasa or power yoga styles, slow yoga focuses on deliberate movements, longer holds, and deep breaths.

During a typical slow yoga session in the UK, participants move through a series of gentle poses designed to stretch and strengthen the body while calming the mind. Each pose is held for an extended period, encouraging relaxation and introspection. The beauty of slow yoga lies in its accessibility—whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, this practice meets you where you are.

2. Why Choose a Slow Yoga Session in the UK?

There’s something uniquely special about practicing slow yoga in the UK. From cozy studios nestled in bustling cities to serene retreats surrounded by the countryside, the UK offers the perfect backdrop for this calming practice.

With growing awareness of mental health and self-care, more people are turning to slow yoga to counteract the stress of modern life. It’s not just about flexibility or fitness—it’s a way to nurture your mind, body, and soul. Plus, the UK’s vibrant wellness scene makes it easy to find classes tailored to your needs, whether you prefer in-person sessions or online convenience.

3. The Benefits of Slow Yoga: Mind, Body, and Soul

One of the most appealing aspects of a slow yoga session in the UK is its profound benefits for overall well-being.

Mental clarity: Slow yoga encourages mindfulness, helping you stay present and reduce anxiety. By focusing on your breath and movements, you’ll feel more grounded and less overwhelmed.

Physical flexibility: Gentle stretches improve mobility and reduce stiffness, especially for those with sedentary lifestyles or recovering from injuries.

Emotional balance: Slow yoga creates space for emotional release, offering a safe environment to process and let go of stress.

4. Where to Find the Best Slow Yoga Sessions in the UK

The UK boasts a wealth of options for slow yoga enthusiasts. Whether you’re in London, Edinburgh, or a quaint village, you’re sure to find a session that resonates with you.

Urban studios: Big cities like London offer numerous studios with specialized slow yoga classes, perfect for unwinding after a busy day.

Countryside retreats: Escape the noise with weekend retreats offering slow yoga amidst scenic landscapes. Imagine practicing yoga while gazing at rolling hills or serene lakes!

Online sessions: For those who prefer practicing at home, many UK-based instructors provide live and recorded slow yoga classes online.

5. How to Start Your Slow Yoga Journey

Starting your slow yoga practice doesn’t have to be daunting. Here are a few tips to make the experience enjoyable and rewarding:

Find a welcoming instructor: Look for teachers who emphasize mindfulness and inclusivity. A good instructor can make all the difference in your yoga journey.

Wear comfortable clothing: Choose breathable, stretchy fabrics that allow you to move freely and feel relaxed.

Set your intention: Whether it’s relaxation, healing, or improved flexibility, knowing your goal can deepen your practice.

Rediscover Balance with Slow Yoga

A slow yoga session in the UK offers more than just exercise—it’s a pathway to reconnecting with yourself. In a world that’s always rushing, slow yoga invites you to pause, breathe, and embrace the present moment. Whether you’re in a vibrant city studio or a peaceful countryside retreat, this gentle practice has something to offer everyone.

Not too many moons ago, I embarked on a journey to Fayoum on a three-day retreat for Sudanese women who had just fled the war.

Reinforcing fears applying to the program and arriving in serene Fayoum. I was overwhelmed by guilt, partly because all those I cared about would not get to experience this with me—the scenery, the guesthouses—a desired relief.

The program (officially) included light morning movement, meditations, gentle yoga, trauma awareness, healing & breathing exercises, reflections, swims, sunsets, walks, & group activities.

With participants of all ages & backgrounds, it was delightful to watch the bridge of communication & rapport form, the magic of human connections, or what we call in my line of work, community support groups, with a total of 24 participants, and the four women team who made it all happen.

I met & connected with some amazing beings, with all these wonderful women, living in community, the program (not officially) ended up including laughter, singing, friendship, emotions, boat rides, art, photography, and an impromptu pottery class (we entered a shop in Fayoum; where a local was pottering a bowl, watching mesmerized, he asked if we wanted to try, which was always on my bucket list!). Needless to say, in a time of heaviness, great suffering, and war, it was a very warm needed experience.

To even add on, the program was completely free, including transport from and to Fayoum, accommodation, meals, etc.

Who is behind this wonderful initiative, you may ask? BlueNilelotus, a yoga studio in Sudan, owned by Nathalie Bittar, who not only created the program but sought funding for it, supported by Eszter, Tayseer, and Amaal, who collectively and gracefully volunteered with their time/hearts, taking turns offering their expertise in meditation, yoga, & all the above-mentioned activities.

So dear friends, without further gatekeeping, since my brother asked me where I find this ملح stuff, below is the link for BNL. Feel free to sign up to the newsletter for upcoming similar retreats, which may not only be for women.

(more info on it all.) :)
