you are beautiful.

"I believe our bodies are sacred and wise and beautiful." -Tracee Ellis Ross


After reading this inspirational beauty post, by the beautiful, funny, and talented Tracee Ellis Ross, I just had to share it with you guys. Our culture has become so obsessed with shallow standards of beauty, that everything is fake now from head to toe. I love every inch of my natural body. I used to want to get bigger boobs because I was always the small-chested girl out of all of my friends. But I've matured, and I still don't have big boobs, but I love my body even more! If someone doesn't like you because of your bra size then they clearly don't need to be in your life anyway. I know that some professions such as modeling require women to look a certain way, but I now see models in all shapes, sizes, and colors. So don't feel pressured to be a certain body type. If you choose to alter your body's appearance, you have every right to do so. Do whatever makes you feel confident. But without those alterations you are still beautiful. I encourage all women to embrace and love themselves the way God created them and quit worrying about what others think if something is hanging the wrong way or not full enough. Show a nipple or two. Live freely. 

 Lastly, instead of worrying so much about the size of your breast, make sure you examine them for lumps. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Remain educated on this disease and take charge of your own breast health. 


stronger than pride

She's unbelievably beautiful. I get goosebumps when I look at her. I can only hope to age as well as she does. Her music speaks to my heart and soul. I can listen to her all day on repeat, which is probably why my cd is starting to skip now. Sade thank you for getting me through those heartbreaks and thank you for showing me how amazing love is. There's no pretending and no matter how stupid we feel for love, it's not a crime because it's only love that gets us through.
