March is all about celebrating women, past and present, their magic and their impact. Which is why we’re teaming up with Leah Kirsch and Kylee Jo Cook, founders of Leah Kirsch and hurry.to.be.kind respectively, for an International Women’s Day Giveaway. International Women’s Day was founded to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women, and we’re doing just that by partnering with two fellow women-owned and -operated businesses for a giveaway that honors the babe with the power within each of us. If you’re on our blog, you’re probably familiar with us, Fred and Far, creators of the...
At Fred and Far, every day is the right day for celebrating women. But March is an especially powerful time for us, because it’s not only Women’s History Month, it’s also International Women’s Day on March 8th. We invite you to join us in celebrating yourself and the women in your life extra hard this month and setting the tone for a transformative 2018. Women’s History Month started as Women’s History Week back in 1982 (which was clearly not enough). Since 1985, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have each issued proclamations designating the month of March as Women’s History Month....

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, and especially if you’re not, Valentine’s Day has a tendency to at best, disappoint, and at worst, devastate. While some have tried to tack on Singles Awareness Day to February 14th to make it more inclusive, that name doesn’t make us feel any better about not being in a relationship. When you’re single, you’re aware. No holiday needed. The best thing about Valentine’s Day is the celebration of love. Why should those of us who cannot check “in a relationship” as our relationship status be left out? We shouldn’t and this year, we’re...

2017 was a rollercoaster, to say the least. The climate of the world (actual climate, political and otherwise) had serious ups and downs. It felt like every other day there was something that rocked our world in ways we couldn’t expect. The feeling of helplessness was overwhelming when the hurricanes in the south and Puerto Rico left so many people with damaged homes and without access to water and electricity. And then there was the earthquake in Mexico. And then the fires in our backyards of Southern California. Waking up to the devastation of multiple shootings in the United States....

I had the great pleasure of sharing my story with the founders of The Cnnekt, Emily and Chary. These brilliant women have created a platform for women that not only shares their stories online, but also creates opportunities for women to "connect" IRL and make friends.

They're headquartered in NYC, so if you're local to them, make sure to join their newsletter and attend their events. I'll be there in spirit until they branch out to LA (hopefully...
