One-Stop: A Busy Girl’s Guide to Staying Fabulous


In this fast-paced world, there’s never enough time. I feel as though I’m always running, as if my life consists of one check after another on a never-ending to-do list. Despite the chaos and occasional lack of time to even fit essentials like washing my hair into my schedule, I somehow always find time to relentlessly do research before making decisions.

I turn to the women in my life incessantly for help. I call on them for advice on new restaurants and events happening around town. For the latest scoop on products, recipes, and trends. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say the majority of purchasing decisions I’ve made in the past 10 years required a discussion with both my mother and best friend beforehand. In recent times, I’ve only expanded my consults to now include blogs, reviews, and advice columns, all thoroughly referenced to the point where I wondered why a busy girl can’t just make one stop during her crazy day to get all the info she’s looking for..

This is why I decided to start One-Stop. Although the men in my life often find my relentless research exhausting, I believe it’s fundamentally because of the way women think. Women consider many more factors than men when making a decision and in turn consult many more resources. The internet can often be a daunting place, with seemingly unlimited resources for information. I wanted to create a space where women can find information on events, products, and trends in areas such as beauty, fashion, nutrition and health, and also post information for other women. This will be a “one-stop shop” where I’ll diligently scope out the best places to see and be seen, products you’ll love, recipes to impress (and shrink your waistline!), and other ways to stay fabulous while still keeping your wallet happy in the process.

Yours,
The Diligent Diva
