The Note I’d Send Myself at Thirty Five
I’ve been thinking about what information I wish I could share with a younger me. Not so that I could change the past, but so that I could save myself a lot of time, money, and struggle. This information is in no particular order and frankly, should hit every woman’s inbox on her 35th birthday. […]
“It’s okay for women to get older as long as they continue to look younger.”
The most fucked up sentence ever. And today we burn it down. We refuse to play by rules written by a $500+ billion global beauty industry that feeds on our self-loathing and insecurities and profits from our fear of becoming invisible. We’re breaking up with the lie that our worth diminishes with each birthday candle. […]

Menowashing is the new pink tax
We’ve all heard about the infamous pink tax. That sneaky markup where women pay up to 50% more for products identical to men’s versions, just packaged in feminine colors. Now, there’s an even more exploitative trend emerging: menowashing. The pink tax already costs women about $1,300 more annually for basic necessities. Menowashing takes this financial […]
We all know that perfection trap.
That voice whispering that we’re not good enough. It demands flawlessness from us and creates a never-ending chase for picture-perfect, social-media-worthy moments. This perfectionist mindset doesn’t just set impossible standards. It’s f*cking exhausting. It steals joy from everyday moments and turns the normal ups and downs of life into evidence that we’re somehow falling short. […]
