Having body image issues almost feels like a rite of passage as a teenager. And while it is a good way to realize even the women you look up to the most have their days, it’s also not a necessity. Why do we have to feel like sh*t for a few years before we can […] More
It’s a fact of life that everyone has insecurities — while there are days that we’re feeling ourselves, strutting to work pretending we’re in a music video (just me?), there are going to be days that we’re not feeling as confident as we’d like. On those days, it can be hard to pull ourselves out […] More
