Connect To Confidence!
Talking, reading, writing and thinking about self-confidence is far from new. I personally think about my body, my mind and my physique hundreds of times every single day. Girls talk about it among one another, and here on SFTL, you read about it often. And it’s amazing, don’t get me wrong – I advocate for […]
1. “You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.” – Amy Bloom 2. “To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself” – Simone de Beauvoir 3. “There is NOTHING wrong with your body, but there is a LOT wrong with the messages that try to convince you otherwise” […]
Depression is real. Anxiety is real. Eating disorders are real. Mental Illnesses are real. Whilst the notion of being sick without having physical symptoms may be relatively new to societal acceptance, there is today (thankfully) little to no denying that a person can appear to be completely fine externally, but be simultaneously sick internally. The […]
I am a girl. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a niece. I am a friend. I am a cousin. I am a student. I am ambitious. I am optimistic. I am motivated. I am human. I am vulnerable. I am fierce. I am strong. I am a woman. Many of […]
Likes, comments, shares, re-tweets — these are the things that dictate our generation. Admittedly, the degree to which you are affected by these notifications compared to someone else may not be equal — it probably isn’t — but the fact remains that for almost all of us, that little flash of virtual approval, or disapproval, dictates our moods.

Social media, as we all know, is both a blessing and a curse. The infinite connections sparked between people across oceans and countries carries with it the ability to talk, call, watch, listen and discuss issues and opinions endlessly. It allows us to express ourselves on a larger scale, a more creative platform; the chance […]
It is by chance — very fortunate and wonderful chance — that I one day stumbled across the Style Like U YouTube channel. Style Like U is a website/movement created by a mother & daughter duo, committed to promoting and proving that true style is not what you wear or how you look, but rather, […]
I recently turned 20, and although I’m still technically not even a fully-functioning adult, I feel as though I’ve learned a lot over my years. They say that time is the best teacher, and I agree, in a rather painful, bitter-sweet kind of way. Time teaches only because it is within time that wounds heal, […]
For my very first article here on SFTL, I wanted to write about something important. Something I not only believe in, but also understand – truly, wholeheartedly relate to. And to discover this meaning, I had to tap into what it was about SFTL that made me so desperately want to join the team. The fight […]
When I was about three years old, my tiny feet ran to the tree in the living room on Christmas morning. My pudgy fingers ripped open the wrapping paper and, to my amazement, sitting under the tree was a brand new shiny white case: a Fisher Price doctor’s kit. My eyes lit up with excitement […]
When you start college, there are so many new things you learn. One of the most challenging to me was learning to manage my money and attend college at the same time. Keeping track of your spending is one half of the battle. The other is learning how to spend your money wisely. […]
1. You do not need 15 sweatshirts To Feel Confident. No seriously. You don’t. And you don’t need that pair of jeans that you haven’t worn in 2 years either. Because you may now think that they could come in handy one random Friday night and maybe just maybe you might spontaneously be feeling them […]
