From the space that gave you #hotgirlwalk and #pilatesprincess, get ready for #softlife. Coined by Black female influencers, it’s about slowing down and doing less.

It allows us to be gentle with ourselves and others, and allows us to recharge so we can breathe it into our friends, families, hobbies and passions.” It’s about saying no to over-committing yourself, taking some time for self-care and prioritising rest and relaxation.
