Beauty Comes from Within
How many times have you been complimented on your attractiveness before your intelligence? Your figure before your sense of humour? We propose a different concept; one in which the first compliment you give is not pointed towards looks. In the words of Rupi Kaur, “I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty before I’ve called them intelligent or brave…from now on I will say things like you are resilient or you are extraordinary, not because I don’t think you’re pretty but because you are so much more than that.”
Those who play together, stay together
The point of hanging with the peeps is to do something that isn’t just scrolling through your phone or being inactive. We’ve all had that conversation. You know the: “what do you want to do?” “I don’t know, what do you want to do?” Sometimes we just need a little prompting for some fun activities to do with friends when the boredom strikes.
