About
Trying to take a closer look at everyday life
Beneath the Surface is my little corner of the internet. It is my place to slow down and notice the moments that often get lost in the rush of everyday life. Here, you’ll find stories, reflections and the little details that make us see the world that bit differently. I’m just beginning my journey as a writer and journalist, learning as I go and I’m so glad you’re here to follow along! 🌿

Feeling Beautiful in 2026
Is it possible?
As a young woman in 2026 beauty standards can feel like trying to hit a target that’s strapped to a moving car. Oh, and it isn’t just a car, it’s a formula 1 race car being driven by someone who does not value their existence.Â
Beauty feels like a full time job you didn’t even apply for. We’re expected to have clear skin, glossy hair, perfect teeth, flawless makeup and don’t even get me started on our bodies. Every scroll on social media brings a new ideal.Â
Just when you begin to love who you are, a new trend tells you that your face harmony is sub par and that your hair type is the least desirable. Yesterday wide hips were beautiful and what everyone should strive for. Tomorrow your thighs are too squishy and you should tone up.Â
It’s exhausting. It’s expensive. And, honestly, it’s impossible.
Life should not be a self improvement plan. It is okay just to live, even though it’s increasingly difficult to believe so.Â
Someone else’s beauty does not take away from your own.

Why do we travel? What or who are we really looking for?
