International Beauty Day: A Celebration of Care, Glow, and Little Luxuries

We’ve all heard the saying, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.” Nice thought, but sometimes the beholder is tired, stressed, and just trying to survive Monday. Truthfully, beauty isn’t about what others see—it’s about how you feel. You know those mornings when you catch your reflection and think, “Claire Dunphy managed three kids, a job, and PTA drama while still looking pulled together—why do I look like I wrestled with my duvet?” Yeah, we’ve all been there. And that’s perfectly fine.

So, this International Beauty Day, I want to shift the narrative. Beauty isn’t about chasing perfection; it’s about those rituals and products that help us feel grounded, confident, and—let’s admit it—like the best version of ourselves. Whether you’re a soon-to-be mom, someone living their single-girl era, in a relationship, or simply enjoying cozy nights at home, these little indulgences remind us that taking care of ourselves isn’t vanity—it’s self-respect.
