They say it takes 21 days to make a new habit, which is why I love our Fred and Far 21 Day Self Love Challenge. This self love challenge is presented as a checklist - which means you get to decide the order you complete each of the 21 acts of self love and self care. The key is to do each with intention: with each, you're committing to prioritizing your needs, whether it is taking care of your mental or physical health, or having fun (an important element of both self love and self care). When you complete your challenge for...

"My “choose yourself” moment first began twelve years ago following an ugly divorce from an abusive marriage. I had lost my voice, lost my identity, and lost all my self worth. It was a slow start, but I kept putting one foot in front of the other until one day I loved the reflection in my mirror. I have two children and wanted to be a good example for them both. I discovered Fred and Far when an old high school friend, that I hadn’t seen since graduation, tagged me in a giveaway because I love triangles and my journey...

"I bought my ring on February 1, 2019. December and January had been particularly hard months for me, between work and my personal life. I bought this ring in the morning, deciding I would start making some changes. I got off work early, and thought I would fit in a little nap before my son got off the bus. I woke up to a phone call from my mother, telling me to come to my parents right away. It was my dad—paramedics were working on him but it wasn’t good. Two hours later, he was pronounced dead at a local...
Gratitude is a word you hear quite a bit once you start exploring self love, positivity and mindfulness. While the traditional definition—being thankful—is important, I’m going to challenge you to think of gratitude a little differently. For me, gratitude isn’t just about being thankful. It is about being truly present in the moment I’m experiencing, instead of feeling guilty about something outside of my current experience. Let me explain. If you’re a working mother like I am, you spend a lot of time feeling guilty that you’re not with your kids, instead of feeling grateful that you’re at work (and...
It's been over a year now of global upheaval, something not lost on our Fred and Far sisterhood striving to continually dig into the journey of self love and self care during a transformative time. We often speak of the stresses, fears, and trauma this last season has carried for many of us—but rarely do we speak of the effects this pandemic has had on our sexual intimacy and ability to connect. If you've been experiencing a lull—or all out stagnation—in your intimacy, desire and sex life, you're not alone. It's actually a completely normal symptom of what we have all been enduring. But there...
I am a single mother of five children, and over the last decade I have chosen my kids over myself (as a mother should) but this past year I finally landed my dream job as an Engineer. I literally scraped my way through the last decade, only buying from thrift stores to clothe myself and kids, and I’ve finally made it to a point in my life where I can splurge on myself. This ring is a reminder to me to also take care of myself and that I deserve something this special. —Trinity from Minnesota Submit your own story...
Emerald has graced the necks and fingers of royalty and celebrities for thousands of years, not only because of its reputation as a symbol of status, but also because of its many metaphysical properties and benefits. Incase you were not already sold on how beautiful the stone is itself, emerald is also May's birthstone (aka the Taurus Birthstone and Gemini Birthstone). But that's not it, emerald is also known as the powerful stone of successful love. Emerald is considered the stone of the heart, as it symbolizes mercy, compassion, and universal love. It will help you manifest a peaceful and loving existence,...
On December 31st, 2020, Fred and Far reached an incredible milestone: our 10,000th order. That number represents much more than orders: it represents the foundation of our self love movement and global sisterhood—each member committing to the pivotal journey of self love and self care. To celebrate this milestone, we wanted to showcase the story behind our 10,000th order. A story that actually began five years ago when Sarah Shahzada first joined the Fred and Far movement. Since then she has been an integral part of this community, and it was only fitting that she organically became our 10,000th order as well! "Fire cannot...
