Real Blogger Beauty

A few days ago I ran across a post on Charmingly Styled titled #RealBloggerBeauty and just knew that I had to join the campaign. Real blogger beauty is all about breaking barriers and being honest about flaws. As bloggers we tend to project a somewhat perfect life. The media is full of people doing the same thing, but today I am going to share a little bit of my story because #realbloggerbeauty is important.

I have struggled with finding the perfect weight and size since I was in middle school. Back then I was too tall and skinny, then in high school I wasn't thick enough aka no breasts or booty, now in college I can't keep enough weight off. The battle with the scale sucks and recently my breasts have grown so much that I can't buy cute, cheap bras anymore so there goes another struggle of mine.

Stop It With the Selfies!!!

Hello Fashion Lovers!

A few days ago I watched this Selfie video sponsored by Dove and it really got me thinking about my purpose and self-esteem. I was forced to ask myself a tough question: "Why are you always trying to "measure" up to other women that you see in the media?" On top of that I am taking a Media in Society course this semester and it's opened my eyes to the harmful effects of media on society. Watch this video before you continue reading. 

What did you think of the Selfie video? What questions came to your mind after viewing it? Were you touched in anyway? Do you feel beautiful and confident in your own skin? What do you love about your appearance? What is your best feature? What unique aspects of your body are you proud of? Why do you feel inadequate looking at other women/ men in the media?

I know that these are tough questions, but darn it someone needs to ask them! I am sick and tired of people being bullied for being themselves. I am sick of the barriers set by the media that confine society to one standard of beauty. God made everyone different and it's time that we accept that uniqueness is beauty. Who am I to rate the beauty of others? Who are you to call someone else ugly?
