Same girl, same day, same time. 💛 Not a before and after. Not a weight loss transformation. Not a diet company promotion. 💛 I am comfortable with my body in both. Neither is more or less worthy. Neither makes me more or less of a human being. Neither invites degrading comments and neither invites sleezy words. 💛 We are so blinded to what a real unposed body looks like and blinded to what beauty is that people would find me less attractive within a 5 second pose switch! How insanely ridiculous is that!? 💛 I love taking these, it helps my mind so much with body dysmorphia and helps me rationalise my negative thoughts. 💛 Don't compare, just live for you. There is no one on this planet who's like you and that's pretty damn amazing don't ya think. The world doesn't need another copy, it needs you. 💛 We are worthy, valid and powerful beyond measure 💙🌟 (If you don't pull your tights up as high as possible are you really human?)

It's been a while since I've done a posed vs relaxed but I know how many of you guys love them ❤️ . Both of these poses are beautiful. The media would try to tell me only one of them is but NAAHHHH because that comes from an ignorant, one-sided, profit making, beauty ideal that I AINT HERE FOR. . Our bodies move, grow and change shape all day everyday. It's been hounded on us for so long that only a still image in which we are posed and tensed is beautiful but it's simply not true… jiggle, rolls, fat, cellulite, extra skin (fanx pregnancy I love ya) are glorious, beautiful and REAL. . I could 'pose' all my photos, make myself fit a little better into the mould that society wants me to but then i would miss out on being my glorious self, further strengthen the hold the media's 'beauty ideal' has on us and put out a message I don't want to send… . Love yourself for who you are in this moment ❤️ . These are not control underwear, just high waisted briefs and my underwear set is from @bouxavenue

Make up is a fun tool to express yourself and play around. It's shouldn't be a mask to hide your insecurities or make you feel more acceptable and worthy. 〰 We all look different with and without make up and that's fine, accepting ourselves without is something I stress with great importance. 〰 I used to think I only looked 'normal' when I wore make up. That my skin and features weren't societally acceptable without glitter and goo. That somehow wiping a black line across my eyelids meant that my self worth went up or that a slick of lipstick make me more desirable and worthy of love. 〰 Make up or no make up you are a queen. With or without your worth is up there at the highest point. 〰 Eyebrows on fleek maybe but those spots and red eyes are on fleek too! 😉 〰 It's hard to 'quit' make up. I wear it still, I love to experiment and make myself feel all sassed but I've cut it down to maybe one day a week, I've become friends with my lil ol' face and I'm learning its lines and shapes and finding beauty. I look in the mirror some days and see all the things I'm told are negatives. How can they be negative or ugly when it's my natural state? My natural state is pretty friggin wonderful so SUCK it. 〰 Cutting down on make up also means I'm giving less money to the low self esteem preying men who run them… HOLLLAAAA 🙏🏼 Why don't you try a few make up free days and see if it can help you along 😘

Would you believe me if I told you there was 6 months between these pictures? How about 6 minutes and a bit of posing / smoothing of the skin on an app? ❌HINT❌: it's the second one. 〰 I could tell you I've restricted, spent every second in the gym and this is my transformation. Would you believe it? 〰 I could tell you I've been using a cellulite toning detox cream for a week and this is the result, would you believe me? 〰 I could tell you I've cut out sugar for 3 weeks and ran 12 miles a day and this is my transformation, would you believe it? 〰 I could tell you that I've eaten a certain protein bar for breakfast everyday along side shakes for lunch and this is the result. Would you believe it? 〰 I could tell you that I was depressed on the left and happier now on the right, would you believe it? I could tell you that I weigh less on the right, would you believe it? 〰 The reality of things we see are often so far from the truth. 6 minutes difference, same day, same girl just posed a smoothing skin filter used. 〰 Dont trust everything you see on the internet or in the media. Don't compare yourself, don't strive to be a fake image or anything other than your true authentic self for that matter. You rule as you are, do you, please you and live for you. Unfollow negative pages and surround yourself with love. You've got this, I've got this, we've all got this. 💛We are strong, valid, worthy and powerful beyond measure.

ONE MORE TIME FOR THOSE IN THE BACK. Depression??does??not??have??a??face?? ~ I received a heartbreaking message of a sweet, young babe today who said she didn’t feel as though anyone took her depression seriously because of her appearance and that she seems too ‘chipper’ but inside she wants to die. WELL THIS ONE IS FOR YOU BABY G. ~ ❌Don’t you dare judge someone’s mental well-being on how they look. ❌Don’t tell someone they don’t look depressed. ❌ Don’t ever deter someone from getting help because you feel they don’t look depressed enough. ~ It’s the simplest of the most simple concepts yet our ignorance is still not letting that sink in… we are losing lives… beautiful, important and fucking radiant lives because we’re not getting past this stigma. Mental health doesn’t have a look. Stop it.
