YOU'RE PRETTY (:

I haven't blogged for a bit...

What to blog about??

I'm not exactly sure.

How about this?

I was watching a Dr. Phil the other day (of course).  

And the topic for that episode was girls who literally hated the way they look.  

When in fact, they were gorgeous, and flawless. 

I felt sad for these girls. 

I couldn't help but think what the media does to us girls, 

and the expectations they hold us up to. 

There are so many, it's ridiculous. 

"But, I think the first real change in women's body image came 

when JLo turned it butt-style.

That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in

 the back was part of mainstream American beauty. 

Girls wanted butts now. 

Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them.

And then, what felt like moments later, 

boom---Beyonce brought the leg meat. 

A back porch and think muscular legs were now widely admired. 

And from that day forward, women embraced

their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. 

Ah ha ha. No. I'm totally messing with you. 

All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list 

of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. 

Now, every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, 

full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, 

a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, 

small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner,

 the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. 

The person closest to actually achieving the look is 

Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, 

was made my Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes." 

-Tina Fey

  

 As thankful as I am that big butts and leg meat are 'in' 

(because we all know I got some junk in the trunk)..

a certain body type shouldn't be 'in' or 'out'. 

We're all beautiful. 

Whether you have a thin body with lengthy arms and legs, 

or a short body with chunky arms and legs, 

or if you're as fit as Jillian herself...

we are ALL beautiful. 

We shouldn't obsess over what we look like, our weight, 

our hair color, eye color....the list goes on and on. 

And as cheesy and cliche as it sounds, the true beauty comes

 from within. Hence why a smile is the best make up. 

I want every girl and woman to realize how 

beautiful they really are.

It breaks my heart when one of God's daughters 

doesn't believe in herself. 

 That is all.
