Happy National Pancake Day!

Hooray, hooray! September 26 is National Pancake Day! Last month we talked about our love for waffles and here we are about a month later with another food holiday centered around breakfast.

The Pretty Files: Fall Makeup Trend

Summer has left us (unless you’re in the southern hemisphere and in that case welcome back to warmer days!)

No Substitute: Is Positive Thinking Holding You Back?

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

I’ve had that little slogan in my life in one form or another for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it’s been on a poster, sometimes it’s just been written in a planner. A variation of it geared towards body weight was even stuck to the mirror of my junior high school’s nurse’s office (with a hippo imagining herself a giraffe and the words “think thin!” emblazoned along the bottom.)

I’m Not Sorry: Women and Apologizing

In June Pantene released an ad as part of their #ShineStrong campaign about women’s empowerment. In the ad we see a series of women using the word “sorry” in various every day situations that really do not need an apology: speaking up in a meeting, asking for someone’s time, even getting a bit of the blanket in bed. Then the video switches and shows those same situations without the apology. Instead of apologizing, the women simply do the task with confidence, then transitioning into “sorry, not sorry” near the end. It’s jarring to see the two versions of events side by side.
