What Does Sisterhood Mean to You?

October 27, 2017 No Comments

“Sisterhood is a bond between women who share common goals and come together to move the agenda forward.” – Karmetria Dunham Burton I’m a little late in cracking open my November copy of Glamour magazine, but tonight I grabbed my magazine and headed off to soak in a hot bath with coconut oil epsom salts. After I settled into the tub, I flipped open to page 14 to see seven group photos of the staffs of the Glamour U.S., Mexico, U.K., Italy, Brazil, Netherlands, and Iceland with headline, “We are #PoweredByWomen”. This month’s issue was truly powered by women — […]

What to Wear: Denim and Plaid

October 24, 2017 No Comments

Denim and plaid are Fall wardrobe staples year after year. When I think of denim and plaid, I see images of the Brawny Woman {who replaced the Brawny Man earlier this year to commemorate Women’s History Month}, decked out in her red and black plaid shirt and denim jeans. Earlier this year, I purchased a plaid shirt – my first plaid shirt in probably 25 or 30 years. The last plaid shirt I owned was pink and grey, and my best friend in college kindly told me that “pink was not my color.” I promptly went back to my dorm room […]
