Feathers of the Journey: A Personal Cosmology of Birds

The dove opens the portal of transformation.

The cormorant guides the descent into depth.

The heron keeps me steady in the liminal space.

And the blue jay returns me to the strength of my voice.

I do not seek meaning in myth alone. I watch the land. I listen to their flight. I gather their feathers as offerings. I thank them in silence.

These birds are not symbols.

They are relationships.

And they are teaching me how to live.

The Impact of Digital Overstimulation on Beauty & Health

Too much screen time doesn't just exhaust the eyes. It throws off our circadian rhythm, our body's internal clock that governs sleep, hormonal cycles, and cellular renewal.

Unshakable Confidence: Navigating the Gaze of Female Judgment with Grace

There’s a quiet moment that many women have experienced—walking into a room and feeling another woman’s eyes sweep over you. The unspoken glance, the look that sizes you up from head to toe. It's an ancient ritual of social hierarchy, a silent assessment of appearance, presence, and status. And while it might be subtle, it can leave an imprint.

But here’s the truth: those glances do not define you. They are not a measure of your worth, beauty, or value. More often than not, they are a mirror reflecting someone else’s internal dialogue, their own insecurities, comparisons, or conditioned beliefs about what it means to be enough.

The Confidence to Embrace No Makeup: Finding Balance Between Beauty & Authenticity

Makeup can be a form of self expression, creativity, and fun- but for many, it has also become a daily expectation rather than a choice.

It can be an empowering journey toward self trust and confidence.

Words as Spells: The Hidden Cost of Tearing Others Down

Every time we choose not to engage in gossip, we shift the collective energy. We create spaces where people feel safe, where trust can grow, where sisterhood is strong. We step into our own power, not by dimming someone else’s light, but by shining our own.

If words are spells, let’s make sure we are casting the right ones. May our voices build, may our speech bless, and may our words be tools for something greater than tearing others down.

The truth is, many of the ingredients in everyday makeup and skincare do more harm than good, both to our bodies and the environment.

Social Media : The Fine Line Between Authenticity and Performance

For those who have built their presence online, there is an opportunity to shift the narrative. Imagine if people with a platform spoke openly about the struggles behind the screen. If beauty spaces became places of true expression, not unattainable ideals. If sustainability conversations centered on meaningful change, rather than just aesthetic trends.

Pretty Skin Bitch has always stood for rejecting comparison culture and the toxic cycles it feeds. Instead of seeing beauty as something to compete for, we believe it is something to cultivate within. Instead of chasing an impossible ideal, we advocate for embracing our own evolving, real, and raw selves.

Choosing Your Legacy: The Stories We Tell Through Our Choices

Every action we take, every decision we make, becomes part of the story we leave behind. Legacy is not just for the famous or those with wealth—it is woven into the fabric of everyday life. The things we support, the habits we maintain, the way we show up in relationships and community—all of it contributes to the mark we leave on the world.

Yet, we rarely stop to ask ourselves: What kind of legacy am I building through my choices?
