The Importance of Building a Brand as a Woman Sexy, smart, and unapologetically ambitious. Branding is no longer optional. Whether you are a creator, entrepreneur, freelancer, or climbing the corporate ladder, your personal brand is your currency. It is how opportunities find you, how people perceive you, and how you take control of your narrative. In a city like New York, where everyone is…

There is a kind of glow that does not need validation. It does not post a manifesto. It does not gather an audience. It does not make a soft launch or a TikTok about its glow up. It just shifts quietly and unapologetically. That shift is called raising your standards. Most people think raising your standards is dramatic. They imagine bold proclamations, confrontational conversations, or a…

The Routine That Keeps Me Grounded and Centered In New York. Hydrated. Slightly dramatic but self aware. Let me set the scene. It’s 6:47 a.m. in my apartment. The city is already humming. Somewhere, a garbage truck is fighting for its life. A man is yelling about parking. The bodega cat has clocked in. And before my eyes are even fully open, New York is prepared to test my emotional…

Confident, magnetic, and unapologetic. Trusting yourself is one of the sexiest forms of power. It’s quiet, it’s magnetic, and it’s liberating in a way that external validation could never be. A woman who trusts herself doesn’t overanalyze every text, doesn’t need a constant cheer squad, and doesn’t settle for anything that dilutes her energy. She knows her worth, she knows her limits, and she…

How to Romanticize Your Healing Journey Healing is messy chaotic and sometimes downright hilarious. It is crying to sad songs while eating leftover dumplings from the night before it is laughing at yourself for texting an ex you swore you would never text it is drinking wine at ten a.m. on a Tuesday because self-care does not have a schedule and realizing that life keeps moving whether you feel…

How to Protect and Nurture Your Creativity Creativity is messy. It’s electric. It’s unpredictable. It can feel like magic when it flows and like a cruel joke when it disappears. And living in a city that never stops moving, talking, or competing makes protecting your creativity essential. Without care, it can be stolen, diluted, or drowned out by notifications, opinions, and…

There’s something uniquely disorienting about being 28 and living in New York City. You’re old enough to know better, young enough to still be figuring it out, and overstimulated enough to question all of it by 3 p.m. Between subway delays, career pivots, situationships, rising rent, and the pressure to “optimize” every hour, peace can feel like a luxury item. But over time, I’ve realized that…

10 Small Things That Changed My Life Nobody prepares you for the fact that it’s not the big, cinematic moments that change your life. It’s not the dramatic exit, the viral post, the soft-launch relationship, or the “this is my year” Instagram caption. It’s the tiny shifts. The quiet upgrades. The random Tuesday decisions that don’t look sexy but end up rewriting your standards. Here are ten…

How I Strengthened My Intuition and Learned to Trust It Ever since I can remember, I have always had a strong intuition. One of the strongest parts about it is that I could always sense death. Not just literal death, but endings. Someone losing a job. Someone losing a friend. Someone’s life about to flip upside down. I could feel it, and it always felt heavy. I would see things in dreams. I…

Emotional Intelligence Isn’t Just Smart, It’s Sexy For the longest time, I took pride in being nonchalant and heartless, which is so embarrassing to put on Beyoncé’s internet and admit. First of all, I’m a lady, so why I was running around acting like a buffoon is beyond me. But I admit it, I used to be so emotionally stunted, I thought it was my superpower. I thought the fact that I didn’t care…

Leveling Up Spiritually Without Entering Psychosis This is a piece I have always wanted to write about, but I was nervous my grandma might not approve. Respectfully, she is going to have to live, because I am talking about leveling up spiritually without entering psychosis. Some of you are going to read this and get offended. Some of you are under a spell and deep in psychosis. And I can say…

Breaking Bad Habits Realistically Breaking habits realistically is honestly probably the funniest thing I get to write about because I feel like I break habits so unrealistically at the start and then it gets to a point where I realize I have to be realistic about the habit I’m trying to break. It’s like thinking you’re going to run a marathon after sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix…

If I Teach You Nothing Else, Let It Be This: Find Your Signature Look If I teach you nothing else, I want you to leave knowing that I am the biggest advocate for finding your signature look. It took me a while to find mine because there were a lot of looks I loved on myself. I wasn’t sure which one I wanted to commit to, which one felt the most me, until I finally locked in. As a woman, I…

Beauty Mistakes I Made in My 20s (And Lived to Laugh About Them) I will be the first to admit it: I have left the house looking fucking crazy multiple times. All throughout my 20s, I had zero shame. I know, I know I’ve even told people I leave the house looking like a “top notch, bad stunner” every day. Nope. Sometimes I looked amazing. And sometimes… I looked like somebody whoop my ass and…

In 2017, I had the assignment of writing a research paper on a social problem that we face every day in America, and it was almost immediate that I knew I wanted to write about rape culture in America. I have always been a girls’ girl in a sense, not the fake love and support because I work for a pyramid scheme company and my bills rely on their purchases. More so, I would never leave a girl…

High Maintenance Is In You, Not On You When we think of high maintenance as women, we think of luxury bags, trips, vacations in the countryside or on a tropical island. We think of plastic surgery, nice restaurants, fast cars, and rich men. We consider high maintenance to be this thing that only certain people can experience and have. For a long time, I thought that way. And as I got older, I…
