Dressing Your Real Self
Cue the internal debate. On one hand, I loved that I could zip up the mediums, even if they were holding on for dear life. On the other hand, the size large felt… comfortable. A little less pinchy, a little less precarious. They fit me. But oh, the sting of choosing comfort over fantasy.

How to Choose Your Personal Motto for the New Year
As we step into a new year, there’s an undeniable sense of opportunity and possibility. Many of us feel the pull to set goals or resolutions, but for some, the idea of resolutions feels rigid or overwhelming. That’s why I’ve embraced a different approach: choosing a guiding phrase or motto to focus on throughout the year.

Embracing Change with Confidence

Sometimes, it’s deciding to wear eyeliner for the first time in years. And sometimes, it’s just realizing you want to be seen in a way you haven’t before.
