Happy Holidays!! My dear readers… It is with lots of love in my heart that I write to you today.
This blog is 9 years old, and during the past three years, I have been rather inconsistent with it. I am not apologizing for it. I am not sure it is affecting anyone, really. I also think it makes sense because creation requires growth, and growth requires time. It is also not linear at all.

But, love, I do have. I love this space I created for myself and for you. It contains many versions of who I am and what I want to share and see in the world. It is also a space that allowed me to meet amazing, loving, and passionate people.

All that being said, I realized the reason I was inconsistent is that I had not found a way to create that was respecting the natural flow of my life. After all, it is normal to not always be as available as I was as a student. It is also normal to not always be buying new things because my priorities are changing. My values are evolving. I might also not always want to talk about the exact same thing.

In all honesty, while I am still very much interested in all things fashion and ethical, I don’t love the way everything has to be so perfect ( and flashy) to be of value online. The thing is, I see so much beauty in the everyday, the casual, the familiar. The coordinated colours of my lingerie air drying in the morning sun, the new seams of a dress I sent to a seamstress for adjustments, the ribbons I add to give the finishing touch to my braids… I love the process behind making things more beautiful or durable.

In fact, one thing I take the most pride in is how long I keep my possessions in good condition. I am lucky to not have very changing tastes, and to have the time to take care of things (although you don’t want to know how long I have to postpone handwashing things sometimes…) but this is important for me.
Because of that I can’t and do not wish to participate in the race of the internet for ever changing trends and fast paced content.

For the past three years, I was under the impression that whatever I would put out would not be relevant for long enough, not loud enough, not trendy enough to find its audience. Also, because I was not even my own audience. Everything felt shallow and uninspired. But this semi-break gave me time to think.

And I realized, it didn’t matter how loud I was. When I started Comics Girls Need Bras in 2015, I didn’t really do it thinking it would ever give me anything else than community. And by community, I don’t mean internet popularity and brand deals. I meant, women who shared my reality and who wanted information about lingerie that would make them feel better about their body. People who would get as excited as I did about the existence of options, solutions.

So this is what I am here for, now, 9 years later. I might not share as much about lingerie as I used to. I only will if I find something worth adding to the articles I have already written. I want to share about whatever matters in my opinion, as a 30 years old woman with a passion for quality and everything that serves women well.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

With love, always.
