Morning world. For so many years I battled my inner turmoil of wearing a bikini. I cared far too much about the opinions of others when it came to what I put on my body. I get it...society has really harsh and unrealistic ideals when it comes to how women's bodies are meant to be. I felt hugely inadequate when weighed up beside the standards that society deems acceptable. Then one day I had a 💡 moment...what if I just felt the fear and did it anyway...just "what if"... So I did...and no one died, no one even batted an eyelid. Our own worst critiques are often ourselves and you can sometimes psyche yourself out of doing things or even wearing things simply because our own minds tell us we are inferior, incapable or in some way unworthy. Let me tell you now... It's not that deep. Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes, abilities and races and each of those bodies are unique and that is one hell of a thing to be celebrated. Letting go of the negativity that is holding you back from living your best life has got to happen and believe me...when you do...you will NEVER look back. Just wear the bikini! 👙 : @figleavesofficial #gifted by @simplybeuk #embracelife #allbodiesneedrepresentation #allbodiesaregoodbodies #everybodyisabikinibody #stretchies #vitiligo #plussizebikini #wearthebikini #lifeistooshort #befree #BeGreat #blackbikini (at Cooks Club Palma Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSvrVHAsI93/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oh #NationalBikiniDay I ain't done with you yet! For years I refused to wear a bikini because of my back rolls, stretch marks and tummy. I cared far too much about other people's opinions and I let those thoughts overpower my choices. Huge mistake that I will never replicate. Your body is your own. It's unique, strong and powerful. No it may not be flawless but it is glorious. It may not look like the women in magazines but it is still worthy of love and respect. Stop caring and start living...life is too short. Wear the bikini. #bikiniday #bikinisforeverybody #allbodiesneedrepresentation #selflovebringsbeauty #allbodiesaregoodbodies #everybodyisabikinibody #beachbodyalwaysready #mybikinibody #embracelife #bodyliberation #bodyacceptance (at Azure Wellness Retreat) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-feYiML2a/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this life u have 1 body. You could spend countless hours picking it apart...or you could spend a little more time appreciating all the fabulous things it does for you. Bodies are unique, uniqueness is one of the world's greatest commodities. Revel in your uniqueness. It is something to be celebrated. 👙 : @primark Hair & M/U: @lucypmakeup #revelinyouruniqueness #beunique #allbodiesneedrepresentation #allbodiesaregoodbodies #doyou #primarkuk #primark #primarkfashion #plussizelingerie #stretchies #vitiligo #stretchmarks #fashionblogger (at Surrey) https://www.instagram.com/p/COChPtGJbjl/?igshid=21mjk92804hm

So...someone made a comment recently saying "that fake tan tho 🤣" Now whilst I am partial to a @starluxurytanning top up in the lead up to #PageantDay...this is very much my regular skin tone! When questioned what the OP meant, they said that there is NO WAY that is my skin colour!? I'm perplexed for two reasons... 1) It really is... 2) What does that even mean? Skin comes in a plethora of different tones...why wouldn't my skin be "that" tone? Perhaps they thought that my skin condition; #vitiligo or my #stretchmarks were a patchy bad tan!? Regardless...moral is...stop judging people guys! Uniqueness should be celebrated! That 👏🏾 is 👏🏾 all!! #SelfLoveBringsBeauty #allbodiesneedrepresentation #stretchies #stretchmarksarenormal #lovetheskinyourein #skintone #notoracism #bodyacceptance #judgeless https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0OZ3UpsO7/?igshid=18kuc2s98d820

I just witnessed a fellow plus size woman being horrifically chastised for posting a picture of herself in a bra. She was doing what I do with my lingerie images which is promoting the sale of #plussizelingerie but she was receiving a lot of negativity for posting such a picture. It made me think. What is so wrong with an image like this. Is it improper? Lewd? Salacious? The answer is NO NO NO...NOT AT ALL! It is simply a woman, advertising an article of lingerie for sale. It wasn't an invitation or for clout or even for attention, it was for promotion of brand provided clothing. For many bloggers/vloggers/Influencers/content creators...these types of photos pay their bills. We shouldn't be chastising them for doing what every woman on a lingerie advert online or in print is doing. We are helping sell a product. The fact that we have to be showing more skin is no different to swimwear or even fitness wear really but there is such a stigma surrounding lingerie. If the images/poses are suggestive or overly sexualised then perhaps you could argue about the nature of the photo or whether those poses are necessary to help sell a garment but if the poster is simply showcasing it...then really this shouldn't be seen as a negative thing. We ALL wear underwear. Therefore we all must buy underwear...all underwear has a shelf life so therefore we should buy new underwear...in order for that to happen, brands need to advertise it. That's where we come in... So perhaps judge the poster a little less and take the photo for what it was intended. A sales pitch. It's just a body, guys...get over it! #lingerie #femalebody #allbodiesneedrepresentation #stretchies #thefemaleform #lingerieforeverybody #dtokcup #curvykate #brastopbabes https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdWJOUpTr7/?igshid=1ufxcux04qcki
