Can We Be Happy Alone…Or Are We Lying To Ourselves?
The internet is rife with articles detailing how women are eschewing modern dating and relationships and opting to simply be alone. Is this for real? Are women (and/or men) simply over partnerships? Is this the future, or our ultimate demise? As a recently single woman, I’ll admit I’ve been equal parts intrigued and terrified to…

Ozempic — Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?
Tis the season… The season for inane marketing campaigns telling you to lose weight in time for bikini season cleverly disguised as “hot girl summer inspo”. But this year, it feels a bit different. Why, you ask? The answer, of course, is Ozempic. This may not be the first summer that Ozempic is on the…

Destination Bachelorette — Yay or Nay?
As I mentioned in my first post about modern weddings, a lot has changed in the last decade in how we celebrate a couple’s impending nuptials. There are wedding hashtags (trying to explain that one to my mom was a kick), self-written vows, and more friends officiating than religious leaders nowadays. But in my opinion,…

Should You Party With Direct Reports?
The other day I was chatting with a friend who recently took a new job. It’s a super exciting move for her, one that will have her managing a big team at a new company after having worked at her previous one for nearly a decade. The first week of her new job ended up…

Modern Wedding Etiquette — How Did We Get Here?
My best friend just got engaged. And holy sh*t am I excited. Even more excited than I was when my friend made me a cake entirely out of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for my birthday… Why am I so excited? It’s not even my wedding, but if there’s anyone in the world who deserves the…

Bumble’s Fumble
By now we’ve all seen the Bumble anti-celibacy ads right…? RIGHT? In a year that’s already seen a new CEO and an abandonment of Bumble’s cardinal rule of having women make the first move, I thought we were done with Bumble-related controversies for a while. But alas… ICYMI, Bumble’s clearly seen the new trends taking…

The Generational Divide: Millennials vs Gen Z in the Workplace
Look, navigating the ins and outs of the workplace is challenging. We all want to succeed, but we’re not even sure what success means half the time — is it that next promotion, a salary bump, being your own boss, finding your passion? We’ve all been fed some version of each of these tropes over…

Fake It Til You Make It?
Probably not the wisest move here… Did you hear the one about the conference with fake female speakers? Not a knock knock joke, this is something that actually happened in 2023. DevTernity, an online conference for developers, was canceled last week after being called out for including fake female speakers in its lineup. Conference organizers claim…

OpenAI’s Board Drama
Why do we care? Did you ever read articles about famous actors who married non-actors and think to yourself wow, that could be me? Yeah, me neither… I remember talking about it with my mom, marveling at how certain actors who married “normies” (as I learned we call them via DeuxMoi) managed to keep their…

Why Are We Here?
Welcome to Revellations When I was a teenager, I would staunchly declare that I was NOT a feminist. I’d been fed media throughout my childhood that painted a picture of women claiming the title as angry man haters, and I wanted no part of it. As the younger sister to two caring older brothers and…
