If you’re looking for gifts that are more than just things, but rather tools to inspire reflection, self-care, and inner transformation, then you’ve come to the right place! These gifts are ideal for self-care enthusiasts, the friend who loves a journal almost as much as their morning latte, or anyone looking to deepen their connection to themselves. So, why not give a gift that keeps on giving well beyond the holiday season?…

And how does that compare to what you might’ve thought of, say, five or 10 years ago? Maybe it’s because I’m a couple months away from celebrating my 40th birthday, maybe it’s because of the way society has evolved, or maybe it’s because of what’s on trend now, but boy, has my perception changed. I’m far more interested in looking healthy than I am in looking perfect or polished, and when it comes to seeing beauty in others, well, I honestly see it everywhere. If you choose to look for it,…

I like to wear clothes that are comfortable and allow me to move freely. Since I work from home, I can generally wear exactly what I want. But that doesn’t mean I want to look — or feel — like a slob, nor does it mean I don’t care about clothes and fashion. I do! While fashion doesn’t rule my life, I do find joy in wearing beautiful colors, soft fabrics and pieces that help me feel like the version of myself I present to the world meshes with who I am on…

Replace all the plastic! Ditch all the toxins! Go vegan! Get solar! via GIPHY But, even though the motivation there is no joke — seriously, just look at how much trash you can save in a year with these swaps — the fact is that trying to make loads of big changes, all at once, doesn’t tend to…

But there’s more to being a good friend than just cracking a joke to lighten the mood. Sometimes, you need to make sure…

Maybe not as much as body positivity, or busting diet culture, or, you know, tacos — but, well, I’m in the midst of writing a romance novel, and as I’ve delved further and further into that world, I’ve become far more aware of how sex and self-confidence and feminism intersect. I’ve also realized how often love scenes either a) use humor as a vehicle to show a character making safe sex a priority, b) make the…

But the traditional wine club — like the ones you join at a winery — hasn’t necessarily been quite right for everyone. Maybe you haven’t had a chance to visit wine country, so you don’t even know which winery you’d want to receive a regular shipment from. Perhaps you’re interested in a wider variety than a single winery tends to offer. Or you might have really specific tastes,…

I try to bike or walk instead of drive when possible, I always bring reusable bags when I go to the supermarket, and when my friends and I are at the beach, we don’t leave until we’ve each picked up at least three pieces of trash. But the one thing that all of us can probably do more of, no matter where we live or what our daily lives look…
