Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
When it’s not presented in a catchy ‘80’s song, this question is actually quite stressful.

5 Things Tinder Is Doing To Your Face
We all know that Tinder can be a destructive force…ruining confidence, romance, courtship and notions of sonnet-style love and soul-matery. But what about what it’s doing to your face? Yes, that’s right. Tinder is making you ugly. This may sound extreme, but in our selfie-smitten culture, it seems to be what people respond to (remember when […]

What Would Beyonce Do?
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” This is a phrase you were probably raised on, and there’s nothing really wrong with it, but for young, impressionable minds, it’s meaning can be misconstrued into that when you fail at something, if you do it enough times, you’ll eventually succeed. And though you might […]

What Would Mindy Kaling Do?
In a society that pits women against one another (looking at you, media!) it’s no wonder that young girls struggle with finding confidence.
