POP. Fizz. Clink! Your beloved POPxo has turned 8 today and we all are hella excited. Along with the birthday, comes the birthday wishes and we have so much to ask for this year. Now, we know things have been hard for most of us around the globe so we decided to cheer ourselves by making a birthday wishlist.
If the power of manifestation is real then let’s take a shot at it! So, without further ado let’s get to POPxo’s birthday wishlist.
Goodbye Pandemic!
It has been 2 years since the pandemic turned our lives upside down and we can’t wait for things to go back to normal. All we want is to bid adieu to masks, lockdown restrictions and COVID-19. From ‘new normal’ to our regular old lives would be such a relief. We bet you agree!
More Travel Please
Our biggest wish for this year is to see the world! We wish to narrate and listen to more travel tales. As writer Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
Self-Love And Sisterhood
As POPxo turns a year older, let’s celebrate what it stands for — sisterhood and self-love. On this birthday we are manifesting a world free of internalised patriarchy and a world where every woman is celebrated for who she is.
Putting Mental Health First
We at POPxo truly believe that mental health is as important as physical health and are doing everything we can to amplify this message. As we turn 8, we want to remind all our readers to put their mental health first and help out someone in need.
More Sex-Positivity
Gone are the days when the word sex was considered a taboo. Today, we are not embarrassed to talk about our sexual needs and preferences. This year, we wish for a more sex-positive world where everyone can be free of judgement when it comes to pleasure. Needless to say, our sex wishlist is full of adventures and you’ve got to check it out.
Better LGBTQA+ Representation
Every once in a while we get a film like Badhaai Do that manages to portray the LGBTQA+ community the right way. With more and more such content making its way to our screens, we wish for better representation and social sensitivity, both on and off-screen.
Better Work-Life Balance
Life is not about just the deadlines you meet or the targets you achieve. Unfortunately, we often get so caught up in our daily hustle that we forget to enjoy the simple joys of life. Let’s push the pause button every once in a while and make time for people we love, hobbies we want to pursue or just to sleep in.
Let’s Grow Together
This birthday, team POPxo is ready to make waves with edgier, bolder content and bring you stories that actually matter. But we want to hear from you too! We’ve been your BFF these past 8 years and here’s to making this relationship even stronger. Sitting pretty at the end of our wishlist is our dream to grow our community of fabulous women and be their best friend through thick and thin.
NGL, it feels just like yesterday when we started in 2014 with just five members. Today, we are a part of the Good Glamm Group and have successfully entered the Unicorn club. And it’s you, your trust and your love that has made it all possible. Thank you for loving us! Here’s to being 8 and oh-so-great!
