Why do we 'hate' our bodies??

Who dictates what a 'perfect' body is?

And why?

Beauty is in all shapes and sizes...

We can be 'big' and have a beautiful figure!

And those scars??

Those scars tell a story - a story of survival - a story of strength - a story of courage and of love!

And what's more beautiful than that?

I have been coming across this a lot lately.

Too much!

Lovelies that would love to do a boudoir shoot - it's something that they've wanted to do for a while now - BUT

They are ashamed of their body.

They need to go to the gym for just a few more weeks.

They don't like their scars.

They are not 20 something anymore.

I am all for wanting to better yourself - wanting to be a better you

But how about we embrace that journey too - and be happy along the way?!

Without that journey - there's nothing to measure how far you've come.

So that journey itself is something to be proud of.

I feel sad that there is so much self-consciousness / self-hate ...

Boudoir is for ALL shapes and sizes!
