"Even the small ways we might have made ourselves more likeable over the years can take their toll, whether it's been in modulating the volume of our voice or learning to keep our opinions to ourselves because people seem to prefer us that way. It's exhausting to live like this. But it can be terrifying to try to make space for the parts of yourself you've been modifying for so long. How do you even start?"

👩💻 EDITOR’S PICK
"The days I love having my 'Everything shower' are the days I love to treat my skin to some extra care — and Josie Maran's Sugar and Argan Oil Body Scrub delivers. This scrub is luxe and always leaves my skin moisturized and glowing right out of the shower. I especially love that the beautiful glass jar is refillable, helping eliminate any excess plastic waste. (Psst — pair this scrub with their Golden Hour Fragrance Mist for dewy skin that looks and smells amazing all day.)" [Check it out]
💛 READER LOVE
A reader comment we love:
“So glad I am not the only one feeling this way about TV. I also made the commitment to myself to watch less and be more intentional about what and when I watch. I spent the entire summer with no TV and decided I wanted to continue without it ‘mostly’ into the future. I am so happy I made this choice as it has opened up so much more time for the things that really matter and some new found hobbies.”
