Someone remind me why this is still a thing? Let's give it a rest and put this gimmick to bed. 

Stop commentating on women’s bodies and what the ‘ideal’ body is every year - we’re here for real health, not the extremes. 

Move your body because it feels good, eat all your food groups but also allowing yourself treats with friends because you want to, treating yourself with love, grace and kindness because you deserve it.

While I’d love to be young forever, I’m not thrilled by the idea of freezing my face in my 20s. 

Personal take, but I’m just not convinced this will improve my quality of life in the long term - Botox every few months, forever?

The cost racks up over time, some bodies develop a resistance, and there's not enough science to back that it’ll actually work long-term either. 

While I’m loving the influencer transparency, let’s not normalise this - instead fall victim to a solid skin routine, SPF 50+ and drinking water everyday.

I love turtles and I want to save them, but there are better ways to go about this than soggy straws. Albeit, the intent is there, but the delivery? Not so much. 

Most of these are actually coated in plastic, and are full of glues and dyes. Plus, they use more resources to make and don’t even decompose as quickly as you’d think.

Unless you’re a fan of paper pulp and microplastics in your iced drinks, I’d probably suggest you opt for something a little more solid like a glass or metal straw - how are you going to enjoy your $10 drink if the straw gives up halfway through? 

Life’s too short to pretend you’re too cool for the things you actually enjoy! 

Pretending to act unbothered and uninterested actually limits you from making authentic connections with people who will actually get you.

Why dampen your mood to be more palatable? If they don’t match your energy, they’re not for you.

If your “friend” downplays your achievements and brings up old mistakes, but seems to copy everything you do… are they really your friend?

Urban Dictionary says friendship is when you love someone and genuinely want them to be happy - “even if it means sacrificing something to make them happy.” While it sounds a little extreme, jealous friends would sacrifice themselves to make you unhappy.

Friends should bring you up, not make you feel small or make you question your growth or value.
