Can we talk about social media for a sec? And I don’t mean what’s going on with FB. But more about how we obsess about gaining a following and focusing on numbers. It controls us and it controlled me at one point. How about we all look at social media differently? Instead of commenting for the sake of commenting, how about we comment something thoughtful, that makes someone’s day better? I think we all forget there’s humans on the other side of the screen. Instead of worrying about growing numbers, can we focus on growing connections? That’s what the heart of social media used to be. Not all this falseness that we all live glamorous lives. Let’s connect, let’s talk to each other-no matter how many followers the other person has. At the end of the day, we want a following that’s made of up friends, not strangers.

Whoa, can’t believe I haven’t posted here in a week! Seriously, time flies. To get you guys caught up to speed, let me apologize for my silence. I was recently promoted to editor at my part-time job. While it’s still part-time, my workload has increased. So now I’m trying to get into that work-life balance. If you have any tips, let me know in the comments!

Inspired by this illustration by the talented @recipesforselflove, I wrote a post that shows the statements of a few brave women about how they defy beauty standards. No longer should we feel ashamed of how we look but rather rally together to support each other’s individuality. Link in bio.

I wish #internationalwomensday could be more than just one day. It was so amazing to connect with many inspiring women and see how everyone is opening up the conversation about equality, inclusion, women’s rights, and more.

Pretty exciting things going on over here. I took a chance and put in an application to write for a large online publication, fingers crossed! 🤞🏻As for the blog side of things, I’m working on a touching post I think a lot of women can relate to. Stay tuned!

Some exciting things are in the works for the blog! Like my love for @lovephilosophy. Excuse the excessive amount of their products in my photos, I can’t help it! ❤️
