A Letter From Aerie To All The Victoria's Secret Customers Who Need Swimsuits
Darling Magazine

Dear Victoria's Secret customers,

We know you are upset after learning that your go-to store will no longer be selling bathing suits. What a freaking tragedy! But then again, you probably never ended up looking like the airbrushed, Photoshopped models when you slipped into that itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot bikini, anyway. You felt discouraged, unsure of your decision to wear a two-piece, yet you still bought the $60 suit.

No! A bathing suit should make you feel good about your body. Every girl has her insecurities, and there's no hiding the fact that bathing suit season puts them on full display. Every body is a bikini body, but it takes so much confidence to be able to wear it out in public-cellulite, stretch marks, and all.

What if it were easier? What if women just started a revolution and one of us posted a picture in our favorite swimsuit, and then another woman followed, and then another, and another...

Let me introduce you to the #AerieREAL campaign. One of the things Aerie is most known for is not retouching their models' bodies. If you don't believe me, check out my girl Iskra posing in a couple different swim styles. Aerie's summer 2017 swim collection is full of bright neons, tassel details, and pineapple lace. Did I mention people are going crazy over these super scoop one-pieces? If you're a hi-rise kinda girl, we got you, too.

Our suits aren't nearly as expensive, ranging anywhere from $19.95 to $54.95. The best part: they're almost always on sale, and it IS possible to get both pieces for under $50 total (I promise).

Once you find a cute suit that you are in love with, pray that it's in stock because we have been selling out quickly. If not, repeat the process a couple days in a row: you will get your suit. Next, find an Insta-worthy background and show that baby off! For every swim picture posted on Instagram with #AerieREAL, Aerie will donate $1 (up to $10K) to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).

Did you hear me? It's time to look forward to swimsuit season, not absolutely dread the idea of it. We want you to be the best version of yourself, and it all starts with a bathing suit. Dare to bare, ladies.

Love,

The Company That Does Not Retouch Their Models

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
