6 Women on Not Having Children

Whether by choice or unfulfilled expectations, single ladies entering middle age are on the rise. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women 40-44 years old who never married jumped from 11.8% in 2000 to 16.1% in 2018. At the same time, new research from UK behavioral scientist, Paul Dolan, finds women who remain unmarried and childless are the happiest subgroup of people and are most likely to live the longest. Could stepping away from the traditional norms of a spouse and kids be a key ingredient to living your best life?

Burning Down the House

Time keeps moving on, but we don’t seem to ever fully move on with it.

See, I was nowhere near the city of New York, or planet Earth for that matter, when fashionable socialites of Manhattan and every surrounding borough, waited in lines–sometimes only to be humiliated and turned away–all to get into the Studio 54. They showed up every night, to dance elbow to elbow with Grace Jones, or maybe to get their own minute of fame, to express their sexuality, creativity, to experience the freedom. To each their own.

Studio Visit / Lisa Says Gah

I don’t think there is a retailer out there that has brought me more joy or inspiration than Lisa Says Gah. I’ve been following Lisa Bühler and her team for a couple of years now and I’ve always been charmed by their aesthetic. The Lisa Says Gah girl, at least in my mind, is cool, stylish, feminine, a bit quirky, and always approachable. I could, well actually I have, spent hours scrolling through their site.
