When I think of March, one thing comes to mind: girl power.
International Women’s Day is a holiday I’ve always cherished. I make an effort to spend this day — or the weekend — with my closest girlfriends. Lucky for me, my closest one happens to be my sister. This year, we had the most amazing day together — just the two of us — and honestly, the weather couldn’t have been better.
It’s a shame that here in the UK, International Women’s Day doesn’t get the attention it deserves. But why not change that? It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the incredible women in our lives. Whether it’s a shopping day with your mum, dinner with your bestie, or simply a heartfelt message to someone who’s been your rock — it’s a day to express love and gratitude.
But beyond celebrating others, I also see March as a chance to focus on me. Self-care isn’t selfish, and this month I really embraced that. I booked a health check, treated myself to a facial, splurged on a new swimsuit for summer, and even joined the gym — because hey, I want to feel amazing in that swimsuit (haha!).
Maybe this month is your reminder to show yourself some love, too. Book that overdue doctor’s appointment, finally get your eyes checked, or do something you’ve been putting off. Taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for those around you.
Inspiring Women, Inspiring Us
When I think about strong, inspiring women, one name that always comes to mind is Taylor Swift. Not only has she redefined success in her own way, but she’s also built a community of women who support and empower each other. Whether she’s speaking out for artists’ rights or encouraging her fans to embrace their worth, she’s a reminder that women are unstoppable when they lift each other up.
But just as impactful are the everyday women — mothers, sisters, friends — who quietly inspire us with their strength, kindness, and unwavering support. So here’s your reminder: Send a message to a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. Plan a girls night, grab coffee with your mum, or simply tell the women in your life how much they mean to you. A small gesture can go a long way — and girl power is all about lifting each other up.
The Power of Sisterhood
I can’t stress enough how important it is to have strong female friendships. For a long time, I believed my husband was my everything — and that I didn’t need other girls in my life. But I was so wrong.
While I adore spending time with my husband, I’ve learned that friendships with women are irreplaceable. Not just one — but a few. These bonds require effort, dedication, and care, but they are so worth it. At the end of the day, love can be temporary, but sisterhood? That’s forever.
I know female friendships sometimes get a bad reputation — gossip, competition, drama. But instead of feeding into those stereotypes, we can change the narrative. Let’s be the best friends we can — offering support, love, and respect, without expecting anything in return.
Learning from Mistakes
I won’t pretend I’ve always been a perfect friend. I’ve made mistakes — big ones. I’ve hurt people, broken trust, and lost friendships I deeply valued. I’ve shared gossip I swore I wouldn’t repeat, and I paid the price.
But those experiences shaped me. They forced me to grow, reflect, and become a better friend — one who values loyalty, honesty, and forgiveness.
Let’s Just Chill Sometimes
The truth is, we’re all human. We mess up. We say things we don’t mean. We let emotions take over, make impulsive decisions, or shut people out when we feel hurt.
Wouldn’t life be easier if we just… chilled out sometimes? If we could learn to let go, laugh at ourselves, and not take everything so seriously? So many arguments — whether over a guy, pride, or miscommunication — could be avoided if we paused, breathed, and gave each other a little grace.
So here’s my reminder to all of us: Be kind. Show love. Support your girls. And most importantly — don’t forget to take care of yourself too.
C’mon now — let’s show the world what true girl power looks like! We can be so much better than the petty drama. Together, we’re unstoppable.
