March 14, 2019 at 07:07AM by CWC Let me be frank, here: Although I’ve written about how to maintain a full bush, what to know about vagina beauty products, and why the pH level of your privates is important, I’m not someone who pays much attention to my vag. I don’t ignore it in the shower, and I shave it, but I don’t give it any particular TLC, despite knowing a lot about it. Until one day, when I was invited to get a “vagacial”—AKA a vagina facial or a spa treatment that’s catered exclusively to the nether regions. Mind you, I’ve never even gotten a bikini wax, but somehow, I found myself lying naked on a treatment table at New York City’s Daphne spa—with merely a small towel modestly covering my breasts and torso—waiting for an esthetician to tend to my vagina in a treatment mysteriously called the Lotus (which runs for $85). Natalia Aleksandrova, my esthetician, first instructed me to put the soles of my feet against each other and to open my knees wide. For, you know, easy access to the star of the show. She then put a bright light right on it to examine its state, in a way that kind of made me feel like I was at my gynecologist’s office. “You don’t have any ingrown hairs,” she said after glancing my vagina over.

March 14, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC For a very long time, “Self Esteem” by The Offspring was my go-to karaoke song. To spare you a Google of the 1994 banger, the lyrics follow a subject who gets trapped in a toxic relationship because he’s a “sucker with no self-esteem.” Well. Sounds like somebody could have seriously benefitted from some positive affirmations for self-esteem, #amirite? Regardless of whether or not you specifically relate to that pop-punk relic, it’s very possible that you also aren’t thriving in the self-esteem department. And that’s not your fault—society is largely to blame. Social media provides plenty of comparison traps to scroll through at any given moment, and if your life feels less than picture-perfect (even if it is in an okay, good, or great place), it’s easy to go to bed thinking, “I am not enough, I am not able to succeed, and I am not ever going to get through tomorrow.” But #realtalk, you are enough, able to succeed, and going to get through tomorrow. One simple way to boost your self-esteem is to embrace simple affirmations and rebrand your “I ams.” Affirmations rewire your brain into believing in yourself, which is the cornerstone of bolstering your self-confidence. There are many from which you can choose, but if you’re looking for a great place to start, Claire Grieve, a yoga specialist, health coach and wellness expert, is on board with the power of affirmations focused on empowering “I am” statements. “Your thoughts are incredibly powerful
