Neutralizing Gender Equality In The Toy World – When Will Barbie Get It?

lilsugar

I was compelled to reason with a mother’s emotional post recently and I think that it should be shared with good reason to urge toy companies to rethink the way they market toys today. Scrolling though mommy groups on Facebook, I often do not stop and read the lengthy ones, but this one was different because quite simply it was written almost as if I myself had written it. The authors words and heart felt emotion is something I have related to for the last 10 years of my first…

Why This Tory Burch Ad Was Removed From Social Media

lilsugar

It is apparent that in the world of fashion, many fashion brands have touched upon cultural celebration and appropriation both with success and not very successfully throughout the past few years. Leave it to social media to make it very well known when the brand showcases something that may seem ‘racist’ – without a doubt with every good intention in mind. Tory Burch’s latest campaign “#ToryStory: An American Roadtrip” featured Poppy Delevingne and other Caucasian models singing and dancing to the popular song “Juju On That Beat’ and boy did they get…

A Good Man Walks Among Strong Women – Lessons For My Sons

lilsugar

Studies have shown that girls as young as six are influenced by gender stereotypes, and that role models from the entertainment they chose can have a lasting effect.  What about the boys? Do gender stereotypes focused on female leads send the same influence to their male counterparts? Seems that the way we model women in the media DOES in fact have a big impact on our young sons too. While raising my own two boys I have noticed that a lot of their perceptions of women are not just made…

When it comes my lips, it is pretty safe to say that I am a neutral color girl – meaning anything that resembles a color that is not the same color of my lips does not usually get put on them.

The newly launched makeupaddict.ca is backed by…

Are You a Netflix Cheat? New Study Confirms You are Not Alone

lilsugar

Late nights without my husband at home (he works nights) has prompted me to cheat on him, not by choice but because I just can’t stop! Initially, when we got Netflix we would watch shows together, snuggle and wait for one another until the next episode or season would come out…lately, I just don’t have the will power to wait! I don’t mean to cheat, it simply just happens – usually followed by guilt, sore eyes and a whole lot of wanting more! At first it started off with the…
