happy women's day!


don't you just love being a woman? you will give birth and become a mother one day, you have the incredible strength to carry your 14-kilo baby around the whole day (a feat not even your husband can do), you can be soft + tough, loud + silent, formidable + gentle...we come in different sizes, we go by many different names, and try to be a whole lot of things all at the same time: a mother, a wife, a cook, a homekeeper, a teacher, a confidant, a professional - the consummate multitasker!
08th of march is the international women's day celebration - a fitting + timely day to honor the women who made profound changes + influences in your life, or simply to rejoice + revel at your womanity!

fast facts on international women's day:
  • (or iwd) was first observed in march 18, 1911 in germany
  • this is originally called international working women’s day
  • it is a major day of global celebration of women
There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
