Hi there! I’m Radhika!

some_text

Welcome to ACurlerfulMind!

In a former life I was a journalist and Editor of Asiana and Asiana Wedding magazines.  In between I’ve lived in Italy, worked on a newspaper in Sri Lanka, spent a year’s working holiday in Australia and backpacked around Spain. There is far more to do on that front but I realise how much I missed writing so voilà, thus was born A Curlerful Mind.

You know #curlyhairproblems are not just for us gi You know #curlyhairproblems are not just for us girls. I know many guys who straighten their hair. But I tell them that #boycurls are just so darn cute and sexy. And now there are some pretty celebrity role models rocking their textured hair. Take #aussie #FORMULA1 driver @danielricciardo. Cheeky chappy, solid race driver and 100% proud curly. He is my #curlcrush for 2020. #curlyhairstyles #naturalhair #curlyboys #curlykolla #hairgoals #curl #curlsrock

I love the fact that my #curls make me stand out f I love the fact that my #curls make me stand out from the crowd. Not only are they a refreshing change from the cookie cutter ghd generation, they capture my #rebel streak, #creativity and refusal to follow the crowd. Now my tshirt from @redbubble pays homage to that fact. Always make your statement and live to your #personalbrand #curlykella #curlyhairstyles #blackcurls #blackcurlsrock #naturalhair #naturalbeauty #beyourownboss #wildcurls #wildhairdontcare
For years I have wanted to see #edinburgh but as a For years I have wanted to see #edinburgh but as always never took anything on my doorstep seriously. Now in the era of pandemic it seemed like the best time to visit #scotland capital. The city is very atmospheric even under cloudy skies. Lush areas of green lawn with daintily strewn wild flowers dot the landscape. Coloured shop facades break up the brown, sandy-coloured brick houses. I quite liked St Giles Cathedral with its Chapel dedicated to the illustrious #OrderoftheThistle (akin to the Order of the Garter). Plus the National Covenant of Scotland (the parchment proudly defying England's demands of the Anglican faith) can be found. Fascinating. #staycation #travelnearby #covidtravel #unitedkingdom

While out in #edinburgh I met the beautiful Rocio @missmarkez from the stunning @#jerezdelafrontera and #curlygirl in hiding. She tried the #curlygirlmethod for 1.5 months but gave up feeling like her straight hair was prettier. I just know she needs our help and encouragement. Natural hair ✊🏽 #curlyhairstyles #curlsinhiding #curls #guapa
For so long my crusty sixth-form teachers extolled For so long my crusty sixth-form teachers extolled the virtues of reading newspapers. My younger self was turned off by the stuffy prose and the sobering reality checks in print. But I would try to comply by begrudgingly nabbing the Metro en route to school or just catch the odd 10 o'clock news. Fast forward 20 years, my brain bloated by more digestible forms of current affairs online I've reached that age where I actually want to make time for reading up on news. I want a fuller analysis of the top stories, to actually read good writing and take stock of what's going on. So I read The Times once a week and I love it. As Monica Geller says: I don't get older, I just get better! #latethirtysomething #educatemyself #goodtoread #loveanewspaper #thetimes #weekendreading #currentaffairs

My new post on the entrepreneurial spirit in Flore My new post on the entrepreneurial spirit in Florence's Tourism industry. Thank you Federico Tacconi, Martina Amèlie Ciampi and Andrea Oliverio for sharing your stories. The timing I know is sad because these smart hardworking guys are going through hell with covid in Italy but when this horrid virus is over they will need us. It is even more important we support people like them all over the world. Please read they are cool people and my friends. https://bit.ly/3anpobm #florence #tourisminitaly #restaurant #holidays #andràtuttobene #vacanza #italy🇮🇹 #tourguide #renaissancecity #firenze🇮🇹 #italia #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #hardworkers #travel #tourism #florenceitaly #foodie #renaissancehistory
"Loving my curls is about embracing my identity th "Loving my curls is about embracing my identity that comes from my ancestors and no way was I going to nit-pick the very things that symbolise it. I now no longer sideline myself to keep up with Eurocentric beauty standards and that has brought with it so much peace."

December 17th 2019: I made the tough decision to c December 17th 2019: I made the tough decision to cut my #sabbatical in #florenceitaly short (by 4 months). It just wasn't coming together as I had hoped. But now to see what's happened I guess there was something in the stars telling me to go and boy did I make it out in time. But in doing so I had to leave some pretty awesome people who are all there now in a nationwide lockdown. I miss them all very much and am thinking of them during this pretty insane time. Get this damn #virus outta here. 😢 #forza #italianSabbatical #fate #coronavirusitaly #amici #corona #courage #italy #italy🇮🇹 #firenze #amici #friendswithnofrontiers
Calling people who love writing and need a bit of Calling people who love writing and need a bit of a cathartic outlet. I went to a Creative Writing for Wellbeing workshop lead by former journalist and BBC colleague Karen O'Brien. She's a wonderful life- affirming Kiwi, trained counsellor and gifted writer who wants to share the healing effect of writing using poetry and imagery within a non judgemental atmosphere. I met some lovely people from all walks of life dealing with emotional pain in some form. I can't recommend this course enough. So if you are interested in attending the next one, you can DM me your details I can send them on to Karen. #wellness #wellbeing #mentalhealth #anxiety #writing #creativewriting #poetry #selfcare #friyay #creativity #community #lifeispretty
