IGNORE ‘PERFECT’ – IT’S KILLING YOUR HAPPINESS
FOR the first time in my life, I was a little nervous to wear a bikini. A little more tentative and a lot more anxious than normal. Not like me at all in fact.
WHY I LOVE MY BIKINI BODY (EVEN THOUGH IT’S FAR FROM PERFECT)
TOMORROW afternoon I will be stripping off. And, slipping into an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini. Maybe the black one. Possibly the red one. But either way, I will be popping it on and hot footing it to the nearest beach or pool. I haven’t been abroad for about four years so I am ready for the sunshine and the waves, the sand and the breeze, the relaxation and the
ARE WE READY FOR ‘REAL’ BEAUTY?!
MY FACEBOOK page has gone mental over the past 24 hours. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. All because of this image. A powerful image that I decided to share. Yesterday this photograph of Cindy Crawford popped up on my Twitter timeline and it was so brilliant, so brave, so real, I just had to share it with my readers. Because you see this is no ordinary image. Yes
How to fall in love with your body
LAST week I wrote a piece on body image and the importance of being mindful about the way you speak about your body. The response was amazing (thank you everyone!) and it really seemed to strike a chord. The comments came thick and fast (I still haven’t had a chance to get around to replying to them all yet) and sadly it seems that when it comes to body image,
WHAT A WOMAN TALKING ABOUT CHIPS TAUGHT ME ABOUT BODY IMAGE
A FEW months ago I was walking down the street in my local town when I caught a snippet of a conversation between a mum and daughter which took my breath away. It was an ordinary conversation, general chit chat and it went a little something like this: “Mummy, I’m so excited for dinner. I can’t wait to have fish and chips.” “That’s great darling, Mummy is hungry too. I
REVIEW: Beating unhealthy snacking with ‘Upbeat’
I DON’T often talk about my figure on Pouting In Heels. In fact I try not to talk about it very much at all as I’m a firm believer that you’ve got to love your body, at all times, no matter how much junk you may have in your glorious trunk! But the last few months have seen me pop on a few unwanted pounds – no biggie at all
YOUR SECRETS: How boudoir photography is helping to boost women’s body confidence
WOULD you pose naked for pictures? Or perhaps semi-naked with just your lingerie on? Think about it for a second. What do you reckon? Boudoir photography has been around for a while now. We’ve all seen it and heard about it. But can it really help boost women’s body confidence? Or is it just vanity gone mad? All these questions and more I posed to the lovely (and incredibly talented)
SASS: Daring to go bare (faced)
IT’S not like me to say no to a challenge. So when my blogger friend Mama and More challenged me to take part in the ‘I AM BEAUTIFUL’ link up hosted by Vodka Infused Lemonade and publish an image of myself , bare faced and make up free, for the whole wide world to see, I couldn’t really refuse. (Damn it!) In all honesty, between you and I, I’d much
