I’ve taken great care of myself, and I feel that women like me should be represented, especially when some collections are clearly designed for more mature, powerful women rather than just young girls. While I appreciate the beauty and energy of younger models, they often lack the confidence and attitude that more mature women bring to the runway. This is something I’m passionate about, and I believe we need to see a shift toward more inclusivity of age in fashion. I’ve made it my goal to push for this change, and I think I’m already making a difference by being on the runway myself.

This is your scrunched-up morning face trying to tell you something important; your cotton pillow is betraying you. I know, it’s heart breaking.

It wasn’t until two years ago, there was a buzz word circulating the majority of online skincare communities, “retinoids”. Retinoids have been around for decades but mostly for the treatment of acne and other skin conditions. The difference now being that there was evidence to prove that it reversed signs of aging and dramatically improved skin texture.
