Forever Young and Peter Pan

Stretching across time, space, and cultural and religious systems, the obsession with youth is nothing new. It has maybe just been amplified through a loudspeaker of our visually based society, as media permeate our daily lives. But, there is nothing noble in staying forever young. There is beauty in allowing life to happen and take you on its own real adventures, and Peter Pan is a warning tale of refusing to do so.

Back to the Bottom of the Bucket: Personal Development & Social Backlash

True personal development is an inner tectonic shift that involves expanding the self in ways that are good for you (and preferably for the bigger picture of your life constellations). We'll all have to spend the rest of our lives with ourselves, and stale stagnation is very detrimental. Learning and growth did not finish on the day of our last exam. This was when it was supposed to start practically navigating life rather than multiple-choice question sheets.

Saying "No" Will Keep You Alive

You don't have forever to assert yourself and set boundaries around the life you'd like to live. Until you learn to say no, you will feel like an incomplete self, a semi-person, and an imposter in your skin who's finding it hard to truly, deeply respect yourself. Learning to respectfully say no will save your mental health and life, literally. The harder the lesson seems, the more you need it.

What is happiness and can we pursue it?

Are you happy, why not, and should you even be? It may seem natural to presume that the pursuit of happiness is something that has been at the center of what it means to be human. But, for most of human history, our species was just trying to survive. Food, shelter, safety, and reproduction heavily outweighed such a presumptuous notion as personal happiness. Being a happy person started climbing the list only after all the basic needs had been met.

Would you like to get high... On sugar?

Is sugar addiction real? Yes. At Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory or Hansel and Gretel's cabin of imprisonment, all is edible, made of sugar and spice, and everything nice. The sugar-laced gastronomical landscape of today is akin to these fairytale-ish wonky worlds of prediabetes. Sweet in the beginning, sugar addiction is really bad news long term.

A Brief History of Beauty Standards

The current beauty standards around the world are reflective of our moment in time.

The Menstrual Cycle: Hormones, Mood Swings & Self-Care

Women know. We’ve been doing the hormone tango, riding the dragon since forever. We understand how it feels to not know this person yelling at someone we love for a conclusion about them we’ve conveniently made around 3 AM, or crying in your pasta because the beginning of “Up” is the most devastating thing in animation history, worse than Mufasa’s death.

Exercising On Period: Should We Stay Active or Comfortable?

Forget the Beauty Standards

Gone are the days when a woman should have been tall, blonde, blue-eyed, flowy-haired, slim (but perfectly proportioned), and pink-plump-lipped to be considered a beauty. Not so long ago, however.
