Let's talk about how to find your clothing style ‘post-pandemic’

We talk about the difference between fashion and style in a world where all we've seen for months are skinny people on Instagram while we've been locked away. Many people are feeling this way, so we give you some encouragement that 1) you know yourself best, 2) every body is a good body, and 3) it's just clothes, have fun!  If you like our news and lifestyle content aimed at marginalised parents, don't forget to support Paranting's missing to bring independent media to more audiences.

Paranting Reviews - Suncare Edition

We’re bringing you an honest review of affordable sun-care products we think you’ll like—sun or no sun! This week we've been testing and trying sun creams and SPF products so we can pass on the knowledge, and although we’ve been #gifted a few products, we’re not being paid to review them. It’s all our honest opinion.

From exhausted to energised: how parents can utilise pacing to protect their energy

Although well-intentioned advice can come from a kind place, sometimes it misses the mark for ordinary working parents struggling in the day-to-day. Paranters: what if you could go from exhausted to energised? Simon Alexander Ong has written a book claiming to show you how to do just that. We discuss lessons from Ong's new book, "Energise" and how he applies it to life as a new parent.  To help us make more of this content, we need your support.

Let's talk about diversity in children's literature

In this Q&A interview with Marvyn Harrison, author of positive affirmations book "I Love Me!" and founder of Dope Black Dads, we cover why white parents need to diversify the authors of their kids' books. We talk about how affirmations can help build resilience and how literature helps create shared language of experiences.  You can support us by donating to our Crowdfunder, to enable us to continue making independent journalism which supports and amplifies underrepresented voices here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/magazine-lgbt-pride-issue-5-paranting [https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/magazine-lgbt-pride-issue-5-paranting] Written and read by Felice Southwell.
