Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ - take me back in time to last week 💞 Outlander: Blood of my Blood is back on our screens and I couldn’t be happier (or more grateful) to have joined the premiere with Stan. . I was able to honour my heritage by taking a piece of my late Scottish grandparents with me on the red carpet.

Till next time, Sassenachs 🪨✨

With love from me and my endo belly ❤️
all laughs aside, I don't want to downplay how impactful (and criminal under researched) endometriosis is. While I do enjoy laughing now at flareups like this, it has also been incredibly painful and debilitating for the last 24 hours to live with. An important reminder to always listen to your bodies on days like this. Normally, track pants and video games would serve during a flare up like this. But today, I'm so excited and keen to get to the restaurant, and have a great, booze-filled night with my partner and best friend
so, with that all said, help me pick what to wear!
