"Why did I feel obligated to drag myself out of bed two hours before my 8 a.m. classes to put on a full face of makeup? Was it to feel beautiful? Was it to appear a certain way to others? Or was it a habit that I convinced myself was necessary to feel worthy to exist?"

"I've been seeing Jenny Lemons' delightful claw clips in the shape of pizza slices, oysters, martinis, and even tiny strawberries all over town. I just found out each clip is made from a renewable, biodegradable material, too. If you're worried that a cutesy clip won't do a good job holding back your locks, the brand just released their best sellers in all sizes, from mini clips to XL. Pickle claw clips for all!"

A reader comment we love:
"'When you've lived your life with the expectation to put everyone else first, it's a very uncomfortable feeling to start choosing yourself.'" I felt this in my soul! Spent so many years putting others first because it was ingrained into me since I was young to do so. That drained me on so many levels. The past two years, I been investing in myself, and that includes breaking generational cycles. The journey hasn't been easy, but slowly I am learning to love my true self again by discovering more about who I am as a person. Thank you for this article. It spoke to me."
