Booties Were Made for Walkin'

Thanksgiving 2018 is over and I'm more stuffed than ever and still no better about my blogging consistency! With the arrival of the holidays I think it's important to talk about body image. I personally struggle with loving my body and can't help comparing myself to the famous bloggers I see around Instagram. It's easy to start guilting yourself especially during this time of year when there is an abundance of good food that is not-so-good for your body. Working to love my body is an every day challenge and I usually lose, but every day is a new day. It is so unfair to compare yourself to the edited versions of people's lives, especially those with money and resources we're not privileged to have. But it is a time of thankfulness and gratitude, and I am grateful for my body that carries me through every day and is high functioning.

I am 5'2" and have a naturally curvier build. I have cellulite and I definitely don't have a 6 pack. I am not here to conform, but to prove that beauty is not defined by numbers or waistlines. And I won't lie, I was scared to wear this particular look because of the insecurities I feel surrounding my body. But looking at photos, I feel empowered, beautiful, and proud.

Here's to wearing what makes you feel beautiful, regardless of your size and eating as many Christmas cookies as you damn well please.
