WHY WOMEN SHOULD SUPPORT EACH OTHER

Life is tough, the sad truth is that it's tougher for women than men. I hate to admit it but women tend to hold grudges, find ways to argue or be petty much easier than men. Instead of breaking each other down, we should be standing strong together and building each other up.

So many people say they would love to go back to the "good old school days", to me that sounds like a living hell. Growing up I was bullied to the point I didn't want to go to school. For many women school is a place we form our first real thoughts about society, the main thing I learnt is girls can be harsh and there is a huge emphasis on competition. Who is skinnier, prettier or even smarter. All the sligh comments and unnecessary glares that made me feel unattractive, stupid and invisible aren't needed. There are already so many guys who take the time to do this for us, why should we be putting each other down? All this competition is getting us nowhere, aren't you exhausted of the petty issues, it's draining and wastes time that could be spent supporting, encouraging and helping one another grow. I guess it's true we never really do leave school! Some of us do grow up but those habits always stay with us, whether its making a sligh remark about another girls outfit or staring and giggling. Isn't it time to grow up once and for all?

Think about the women in your life, whether that be your mother, best friend or colleague that you would be nothing without and think about how great it is to have them supporting you every step of the way. How great would it be to have that with more than one or two people? If we all throw the pettiness and judgemental habits away we could then make room for positive thoughts. We begin to work as a team and inspire each other. In the end this will only make us all stronger. "The strongest women are those that build up the women around them, instead of tearing them down."

Surround yourself with women who will challenge and inspire you to achieve your goals. Let's celebrate, support, encourage and love the women in our life.

Sincerely, Kimberly.

GRL PWR SUPPORTING OVARIAN CANCER

Outfit details

White Tee: GRL PWR Charity Fundraising for Overian Cancer £15

Khaki Jamie Jeans: Topshop £40

Black Sandals: Birkenstocks £54.95

Cancer is a subject very few of us like to talk about, mainly because it can make people uncomfortable. At the end of the day the sad truth is that we all either know someone directly or through another person who is currently or has been affected by Cancer. One of my colleagues at work was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer last year but is fighting back and raising awareness!

GRL PWR was set up as a none profit business to raise awareness and fundraise money for Ovarian Cancer. You can help support this cause by purchasing one of these awesome GRL PWR Tee's for £15, for those of you who isn't a tee kind of gal there's also a razor back vest in black. All proceeds will be donated to the charity, so far these amazing GRL PWR Girls have raised hundreds for this cause! Wow, that's going to make a huge impact in research funding to help discover ways to better manage and treat Ovarian Cancer!

Show your support and order your very own tee by sending a private message through the GRL PWR Facebook page. Make sure you hashtag #GRLPWR on Instagram (& tag gpwr) and Facebook so the gang know you're sharing the love and showing your support. The Girls have been very busy and have already sold out of the first batch, but don't you worry more stock will be arriving soon!

Please share this post and help raise awareness!

Sincerely, Kimberly.
