What’s On My Mind…
It’s official! 2023 is Tween Girl Summer 💕
For many of us, this moment is one of excitement about the future, twinged with anxiety. This ambivalence is a hallmark of the tween years, experts say, and is a kind of metaphor for the psychological state we find ourselves in now.
All that glimmers is gold…at least for your mental health ✨

Women have long been programmed to see food as the enemy, but the girl dinner trend is about embracing the simple joy of snacks as meals. Girl dinner represents a conscious choice to opt out of the tyranny of cooking and doing the dishesI barely worked for this and it feels like an indulgence.’ That’s what makes it girl dinner.
