Re-Gifting Is Actually A Thing?

I had always heard of re-gifting, but I’ve never actually seen someone do such a thing. We’ve all received a less than favorable gift before, but you wouldn’t pass this gift onto someone now would you?

A survey conducted by Birchbox survey concluded that 49 percent of women will re-gift an unwanted gift rather than returning it.

Can I just offer some friendly advice? Don’t do this. I mean, come one… really?

Fat Shaming Starts At An Early Age

Every single woman in the world is guilty of fat shaming. Whether it’s against a peer, an enemy, a stranger or yourself, women are so quick to call out another woman on her weight. It seems to be the most effective and hurtful form of criticism, and it’s sad that we all use weight as [...]

A Model Covering US Vogue Is A Rare Occurrence Today
