Celebrating Women This International Women’s Day

There’s something powerful about women, uplifting women. 

A quiet strength in a reassuring smile, a knowing nod, a hand reaching back to help someone up. This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women in our lives! The ones who inspire us, lift us higher, and remind us that we are capable of extraordinary things.

Because the truth is, inspiration isn’t always found on the world stage. Sometimes, it’s in your own home. Your mother, who taught you resilience. Your sister, who always has your back. Your best friend, who reminds you of your worth when you forget. Your colleague, who leads with kindness and integrity.

These are the women who shape us, encourage us, and challenge us to be better. They’re proof that strength comes in many forms, gentleness, wisdom, determination, and the quiet courage to show up as your authentic self every single day.

The Beauty of Women Supporting Women

There’s a saying: “Be the woman who fixes another woman’s crown without telling the world it was crooked.” And isn’t that what true empowerment looks like? It’s about lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down. 

Celebrating successes instead of competing.

Creating safe spaces where we can be vulnerable, real, and unapologetically ourselves.

Whether it’s offering words of encouragement, showing up when it matters, or simply leading by example, when women support women, the world shifts for the better. And we all rise together.

Natural Looks Good on You

Another age old saying, "Comparison is the thief of Joy!”. And isn't it true! As women we compare ourselves A LOT!! 

The way we look, the way we dress, the way we speak, or act, even the size of our waist! These comparisons only serve to steal our happiness.

At LOHY., we believe in embracing who you are, your natural beauty, your individuality, and your unique journey. There is no one way to be strong, no single definition of beauty, no right or wrong way to show up in the world. What makes you powerful is being YOU!

So today, let’s celebrate the women who inspire us!!

The ones who make us laugh until we cry, who challenge us to dream bigger, who remind us of our worth. Let’s honour their stories, their impact, and the way they make the world a better place—one small act of kindness at a time.

How You Can Celebrate Women Today

• Tell her she inspires you. Whether it’s your mum, your best friend, or a mentor, let her know how much she means to you.

• Support women-owned businesses. Choose to invest in women who are breaking barriers and chasing their dreams.

• Gather your girls. Plan a coffee date, a self-care night, or just a moment to connect and celebrate each other.

• Be kind. Small gestures, compliments, encouragement, even just a smile can make a world of difference.

• Lift as you climb. If you have knowledge, experience, or support to offer another woman, share it. We grow stronger together.

This International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the incredible women who have shaped us, inspired us, and helped us become who we are today. And let’s keep lifting each other up, because when one of us shines, we all do.

Happy International Women’s Day from the Women at LOHY.! xx
