Love the skin you’re in

Love yourself inside and out.  Love the skin you’re in and wear it well. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. To me being beautiful, the person you are, meaning your heart, your spirit, the way you carry yourself, and most importantly the way you treat others. Also the person that you’re truly are in your comfort zone and who you are off camera. When I say that, I mean, when you first meet someone, they’re nice, respectful, want to leave a good impression, but it’s who are you after that.

So many people focus on the outside, the physical, but that don’t mean shit if you’re ugly on the inside. I make sure when I started my journey to a healthier lifestyle, it’s not just physical appearance,  it also mental, cleansing my mind, my heart, my soul, and body. I wanted to change and love myself wholeheartedly. There’s no such thing as ideal weight or look. There’s no settling when it comes to you, go after the best version of you.

When you think of yourself, how do it make you feel? Is your heart warming, does your soul smile? What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you love the person you see, are you working towards the person you want to be? Did you forgive yourself, do you accept you for who you are? You’re learning and growing, take care of yourself, shit happens, we’re all human. Love yourself. Wipe away past hurt/mistakes, Brush off the insecurities, tone up the scars/bruises from the obstacles life threw at you, and hold onto the beautiful memories. Now you’re looking your best, feeling amazing, and loving the person you see in the mirror.

Normalize dressing up, looking cute, and admiring yourself because when you look good you feel good. When you’re loved correctly, you glow, so why not have that glow coming from the love and time you put into you.
