Unexpected Triggers on the Road to Recovery

I was online shopping this morning for new swimwear to try - and I found myself on a swimsuit website that I haven’t shopped from since I was newly postpartum with Emaline. As I brought up the homepage, an overwhelming wave of sadness came over me.

What Freedom Really Looks Like

FREEDOM is truly found when you realize that what your body looks like does not equal your level of health, success, productivity, beauty, sexiness, happiness, your mental health status, or who you are.

Read. It. Again.

We 👏🏻 Are 👏🏻 So 👏🏻 Much 👏🏻 More 👏🏻 I love this photo because it was taken on a day where I truly felt that feeling of freedom.

POOL PARTIES // NOT JUST FOR SKINNY BABES

BIKINI TOP | BOTTOMS | ONE PIECE

If your body type is characterized as being skinny, I love you just as much as I love my big girls. This message is for everyone, but especially those who have been so highly underrepresented in the media.

I grew up skipping pool parties, or agreeing to go to them but conveniently “forgetting” my swimsuit. I’d go on vacation with friends and would refuse to get in the hot tub. I’d stick my feet in and chat instead of letting myself just live my life. Sound familiar?

WHY.

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY.

You're More Than a Size

Hey girl, ever see something cute and think “nah, my body isn’t in shape enough for that yet.” 😳 I used to do that too. In fact, I used to be the QUEEN of that type of behavior.
Here’s the thing I finally realized though. Body love, confidence and acceptance isn’t about how much you weigh or what size you wear.

(IN MY OPINION) WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BODY POSITIVE

So I've been on this journey for awhile. Like, my whole life.

And I've been blogging for a little less than a year, which has allowed me to see all sides of people on the Internet and really think about how I view myself. I've been seeing lots of mixed messages in the media about what it means to love yourself and what is considered "real" and "beautiful."
