If you've ever flipped through a women's magazine, you've probably noticed that the majority of articles are about taking care of yourself, your skin, your body, etc. "Tips" that are almost absent from media more oriented for the male audience. As if this desire for well-being resembled more of a societal injunction.
In fact, in this Slate podcast, three women address this ambient obsession that is mostly meant to be a pressure on the ladies and also a desire for consumerism. Those who provide these opinions often have the desire to sell creams, filters, gym memberships, machines, etc. What if the true notion of well-being was to be found in minimalism and reconnection with oneself? A less economically profitable but far more personally satisfying project.
