  You're online, scrolling through feeds, and it's practically impossible to escape them: the "influencers." You know, those folks with their perfectly curated lives, their flawless skin, their aspirational (and probably sponsored) outfits, and their constant stream of "good vibes" and product recommendations. They're everywhere, peddling a dream that's often as fake as a three-dollar bill. And honestly people are starting to get  really   fed up with it. It's not just a gut feeling anymore, either. An article published recently in the Journal of Marketing Research by Lena Steindl, Sarah Steindl, and Nora Penz, titled "Too beautiful to be true? The effects of digitally enhanced beauty on social media." In the article they confirm all that supposedly "perfect" shit we see online, all those filtered faces and Photoshopped bodies, aren't just annoying; they're actively harming us. This study actually did the legwork. They...

  Be Honest. You spend a chunk of your day scrolling, don't you? Swiping through perfectly curated feeds, watching people live their seemingly perfect lives, and absorbing an endless stream of "information." From "expert" health gurus to miracle diets, it's all right there, relentlessly shoved into your eyeballs. And honestly? It's a goddamn trap, and it's time we talked about why you need to slam the brakes on believing every thing you see and hear online. Even my advice should be read with a "ill make up my own mind, thanks" attitude.  Most of it is utter bullshit. It’s a highlight reel, a money-making scheme, or just plain misinformation dressed up in pretty filters. And if you’re not careful, getting caught up in this online health charade isn't just annoying; it’s a direct assault on your mental health. Think about it. One day, everyone's chugging celery juice. The next, it's all about bone broth. Then suddenly, carbs are t...

  In today’s world, it feels like we’re constantly surrounded by messages about health. From the moment we open our phones in the morning to the ads that pop up on our screens all day long, we’re bombarded with information on the latest superfoods, the most effective workout routines, revolutionary detoxes, and supplements promising everything from boundless energy to eternal youth. Every influencer seems to be a self-proclaimed wellness guru, every news article highlights a new study, and every brand wants to sell us the secret to optimal living. The desire to be healthy, to feel good, to live a long and vibrant life – it’s a deeply human, incredibly positive aspiration. We all want to thrive, and taking care of ourselves is undoubtedly a pillar of a fulfilling life. But here’s the thing, and it’s a big one: this constant cascade of information, often presented with urgency and promising perfection, can become less about genuine well-being and more about an overwhelming, anxiety-i...

  Let’s get something straight right off the bat: You are not a bruised, overripe avocado sitting next to a picture-perfect Hass at the grocery store. Life isn’t a produce aisle, and yet, here we are, eyeballing everyone else’s seemingly perfect, glistening success and feeling like yesterday’s leftovers. It’s time to put an end to the madness—stop comparing yourself to others, and start embracing the wonderfully chaotic, sometimes-messy, and utterly unique masterpiece that is you . The Social Media Hall of Mirrors Social media is like one of those funhouse mirrors at the carnival—except it’s less “fun” and more “existential crisis.” Everyone is posting their highlight reels: tropical vacations, job promotions, flawless selfies (with just the right amount of Valencia filter), and artisanal avocado toasts that look like they belong in a museum. What you don’t see? The existential dread at 2 AM, the sink full of dishes, and the existential crisis over whether to text back “lol” or “ha...
