The Purple Fig is a blogazine where women share their experiences. Raw, relatable stories on everything from looking for love to staying in love; from partying to parenting; from cooking to meditating. There are many points in the journey of a woman and we cover them all.

We are now regular contributors on The Huffington Post, check us out here.
