“The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing. The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty. Sometimes cultural standards just need a different perspective so we can see them for what they really are — a collective acceptance… a subconscious agreement. We are in charge of our agreement. Little girls everywhere are absorbing our agreement, passive or otherwise. And it begins early.” — read this article from Jennifer Aniston

These are such a brilliant idea. While Googling them I spotted a newspaper headline suggesting we’re raising a generation of anxious children, but actually, I think these toys empower children and their parents to TALK about their worries. We’re raising a generation of people who are encouraged to articulate how they feel. That’s a good thing.

I’m also OBSESSED with this beautiful body oil. Like, rubbing it on my feet every night in an effort to relax more. Like, pouring it into my bath every morning. #love
