I recently realised that I as a woman am also allowed to look like a grandpa in the gym, in a baggy t-shirt advertising some liquor brand tucked in to even baggier pants. I don’t have to squeeze into yoga pants and a matching bra!
LOVE this, Bree! Bacteria-related resolutions are great!! For me, ugly healthy is prioritizing warmth in my work outfits so I can walk to work and not freeze! Some very cute hairstyles do not work with a hat pulled over, so work fits/looks get simpler in the winter.
Also, I have to plug my favorite dental floss: Dr. Tung's Smart Floss. It expands to really get gunk out, and there's a nice gentle cardamom flavor.
Riding your bike to stuff, even if it means you’ll arrive a lil sweaty and windswept. I got some skeptical comments for it at first, but now everyone in my orbit just accepts and expects that I’ll be showing up to happy hour in bike shorts and tangled hair 😊 some of them have even joined me!
Being late to work so that I make lunch and snacks at home that are healthy in the mornings! Not sure my boss is pleased but I definitely feel a lot better because of it!

Cardamom! In floss! Genius. It can get rid of the cardamom buns I love in the winter :) I will check it out—thank you!
And YES to prioritizing warmth over fashion. Walking to work is such a joy, no reason to make it uncomfortable.

Lauren, I have zero doubt that you inspired them! I wrote a thing on "Give No Shits Role Models" and I think surely you are one for your happy hour crew. (https://breegroff.substack.com/p/give-no-shits-role-models)
Happy biking + happy hour is a real power combination <3
