A little about me:
Hi! I’m Candice. I’m a writer, full time professional, and an advocate for women. I started my professional career as a high school English teacher, and now I work in Talent Development where I help people capitalize upon their strengths. I spent most of my college years studying the effects of unrealistic beauty ideals on young women, and I decided to start this blog to encourage women to embrace their real beauty. I am strong and independent, and, shall I say it? S.I.N.G.L.E. I used to think that being single was some kind of scarlet letter that I had to wear, showing up alone at weddings and parties, always sitting out the couple’s dances. But now, after having experienced a toxic relationship, I embrace the freedom that comes from singleness. I am an adventurer at heart, always looking for my next worldly escapade, and a fierce supporter of women. I have one goal in life: to live my best life.
Within these pages, you will find inspiration to live your best life, too. From gardening and make-up tips to discussions on self-esteem and cellulite, this blog will cover all things real. In a world consumed by fake, triple-filtered beauty, these pages will celebrate real beauty from real women who are living their best lives every day.
To those women who have ever said, “I don’t need a man for that…”, this blog is for you.
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”
