Planning, But Make It Gentle: The Sugar Era Explained

The Sugar Era is a mindset
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what you can.
Permission, not productivity
The Sugar Era isn’t about productivity.
It’s about permission.
Permission to:
Be inconsistent
Be in progress
Be human
Be messy and imperfect
Because life does not stick to the rules or always honour the plans you make.

When I built It’s Sugar! skincare, it wasn’t just about removing hair.
It was about choice.
No pressure.
No punishment.
No harsh stuff.
Just an option that felt better for your skin and our planet.
It was born out of a passion for todays teens to have one less thing to worry about. Driven by my personal experience with hair removal and my teen daughter's journey. It was about care and thats why The Sugar Era Community is just as important as the physical skincare products. A supportive place without pressure.

During this last year of working with and observing UK students, there is a real need for more support especially during transition times - like leaving home, making new friends, being in a different location that's unfamiliar. We want to reduce the loneliness and are working on small ways of doing so.
Some seasons are about growth.

Some are about getting through.
You don’t need to label them.
You just need support.
There’s a lot of noise telling you to do more.
Wake up earlier.
Try harder.
Fix yourself.
And honestly?
I am a list writer, a planner, an organisor, an accommodator and I have always put pressure on myself internally to do my best, be 100%, be top, pass 1st time and life is not like that and you don't need that pressurised internal mindset because it's unhealthy.
The problem with most planners
Most planners assume you’re fine.
Motivated.
Focused.
Ready to smash goals every single day.
But real life doesn’t work like that.
Especially if you’re:

A teen figuring things out
At uni juggling everything at once
In a transition season
Tired but still trying
Traditional planners don’t leave space for that.
So instead of helping, they add pressure.
What sugaring taught me about self-care
Sugaring works because it’s gentle.

You don’t force it.
You don’t rush it.
You work with your skin, not against it.
That mindset matters.
Because whether it’s skincare, hair removal, or how you plan your time—
pressure makes things worse.
Care makes things easier.
That’s the exact vibe behind The Sugar Era.

I wanted something softer 🫶
