REDEFINING THE SP1NSTER

t’s time to reimagine this label. I am a self described SP1NSTER™. I am a 43 old woman and well beyond the usual age of marriage. I’ve never prioritized marriage.

That’s changing - By the year 2030, the statistical projection that over 45% of women in America will be single.
