To dare to disturb the universe with an original, strong, beautiful, smart, funny, and fun beauty and health site.
Daring because it’s created and written by An Actual Journalist with world-class medical, beauty, and journalist advisors.
Universal because we’re connecting real beauty and health information with real women and girls who care about those things as much as we do.
As for our name, More Lovely. It was inspired by Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18:
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely…
In our context, this means you were born lovely. So you’re already lovely. And you can be more with the right guidance, experts, and products.
Let us go then, you and I.
