  • Five Things Every Woman Should Know

    At HAVE SOME FUN TODAY, we're inspired by women. We love powerful, creative, thoughtful, unique women who follow their hearts. Women with vision and passion. Women with soul. It's the reason our founder Stephanie Taormina started the HSFT fashion and lifestyle brand aimed at celebrating women and honoring her late father's lifelong mantra. Our mission at HSFT is to lift women up, share empowerment and passion, and connect women to a community where we celebrate each other. There's beauty and compassion when we honor each other, and ourselves, by sticking together and rising above. 

    1) Be The Light, Share the Light

    Empower other women when they have a victory and take it as a win for all women. Yay women! Pettiness and jealousy can often derail us from supporting other women's success. Don't fall into the catty cliché that we see on reality TV.  Let other women's victories inspire and motivate you. We all move forward when a woman succeeds. It's called progress and we need more of it...

    2) It's No Contest... We're All Winners 

    It's life, not a beauty pageant or a Spelling Bee. We don't need to compare ourselves to everyone woman that walks in the room, or for that matter, into our lives. It's way better for all of us when we're all on the same team. Let's not worry about beating each other at the game but rather cheering on our fellow women as they cross the finish line. 

    3) Common Threads

    We are all someone's daughter and granddaughter, some of us are sisters and mothers. There are so many common threads that connect us as women. We've come a long way, baby! We've only had the right to vote in this country for 95 years. Many of us get paid less money to do the same job as our male counterparts. And all of us at some point have had to overcome at least one stereotype about being a woman.  Let's celebrate our similarities AND our differences and remember we are all in this together. 

    4) Cultivate Friendships, Not Rumors 

    We've all be guilty of it.... You've heard something about someone and you can't wait to dish with a friend. It's a bad habit but it's easy to break. Be true and authentic. Instead of playing the junior hight game "telephone" and passing the rumor on down the line, what if you just called the person you've heard the gossip about? Maybe she needs a friend. If you've got an issue with another woman, be brave and straightforward enough to say it directly to her and not through someone else. Let's model positive behavior for our daughters and for young girls when it comes to how we treat other woman. Be THAT kind of woman. 

    5) Hold On Tight To Your Girlfriends 

    Our girlfriends have been scientifically proven to be good for easing stress and making us feel better! If you have a group of women who lift you up or just one bestie who keeps you grounded, count yourself lucky. Research has shown that being with our girlfriends creates oxytocin in the body, which feels good and soothes anxiety. Add a glass of wine to that time with your bestie and it's bound to be sheer bliss! A good girlfriend will get you through the hardest of times of your life and be there when you're celebrating the best. Keep them close and love them up. They're irreplaceable. 

    Woman's Work

    As women, being nurturers and caretakers runs deep in our DNA. We do it for our families but when we do it for each other, we're a force of nature. There's a palpable energy capable of changing the world when we empower women with love and support. That's our mission at HSFT, share the love, spread the vibe. Live. Love. Wear. Share. And be part of the positivity. It's that easy.
