Body Positivity + Weight Loss: A Letter To The Girl Who Told Me I Couldn't Love Myself if I Wanted To Lose Weight

Body Positivity + Weight Loss

Being so open on the internet comes with a shit ton of commentary about my life, opinions, the way...

No one really believed I could be completely void

No one really believed I could be completely void of color did they... 🤣⁣
⁣
As always @adrianabhair killed it. The bangs are back. The silver is perfection and the rose gold peekaboo is what my quarantine dreams were made of ⁣

Just your friendly reminder that pores and wrinkle

Just your friendly reminder that pores and wrinkles and sun spots and blemishes are things that exist underneath all the filters and Facetune and photoshop you might see on this app...⁣
⁣
Don’t compare what you see in the mirror to what you see in this app ⁣
⁣
I stopped using filters and editing my skin on photos in February of 2019⁣
⁣
I may edit for brightness or exposure in some scenarios but never my face⁣
⁣
Beauty in this space can sometimes feel out of reach or like you’re not doing something right when your favorite influencer looks smooth and perfect. And I don’t want to add to those insecurities⁣
⁣
If I get botox, you’ll know. Lash extensions? You’ll watch. Filler? We will talk about it. I’m not here to say any of this is wrong. I’m just here to be transparent. Realistic expectations⁣
⁣
What you see here is what you get. This photo hasn’t been retouched at all. No preset no filter. Straight out the front facing camera. I am sitting in front of a ring light that’s a bit above me here but that’s it⁣
⁣
Also I’ve really just been digging no foundation days. I’m just rocking a touch of the @flowerbeauty Heatwave Bronzing Essence on my face and called it a day 🤷🏼‍♀️ Eyes are The Zulu palette from @juviasplace coming to a 3 Looks 1 Palette next week 🙌🏻 Lip is Self Love from @doll10beauty

One of the things I do when life feels out of control is search for something I can control... ⁣
⁣
That usually manifests itself in my hair colors but thanks to little ol’ Covid my roots are about 3 inches thick and my ends are void of color 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
So on my birthday when I was feeling lower then I have in a pretty long time Jim looked at me and said “Let’s go buy plants!” and I jumped up. ⁣
⁣
So here we are... people who garden. We haven’t used this patio in the 3 ish years we’ve lived in this building and it felt good to have something to build and grow.. it gave me hope again. ⁣
⁣
I dunno if any of this makes sense but it’s where I’m at 🤣 I know you signed up for makeup tutorials and product recs but I hope you don’t mind the sprinkle of life 🖤

Silence is violence. All lives won’t matter unti

Silence is violence. All lives won’t matter until BlackLivesMatter. ⁣
⁣
I see you. I hear you. I stand with you. ⁣
⁣
And for the people who this post will make uncomfortable? Good. ⁣
⁣
I keep seeing posts in influencer centered Facebook groups along the line of “How are you navigating this?” with a lot of replies that vary from tangible ways to use your voice all the way to “I’m not addressing it. I’m an escape for people.” or “I don’t do politics on my business pages” or “I’m vocal IRL but I leave my business out of it” ⁣
⁣
IT IS NOT ENOUGH. Let me say this again: SILENCE IS VIOLENCE. ⁣
⁣
I appreciate that people “need a break” but POC don’t get to take a break. You might be paying with a few irrational followers who unfollow and announce their departure to you like it’s the airport. So you’re uncomfortable for five minutes. Black men and women are paying with their lives. ⁣
⁣
This is not a POC problem. This is unequivocally a white person problem. WE have to fix it. WE have to stand up and say we’re done with this. WE HAVE TO DO THE WORK. ⁣
⁣
LISTEN. ⁣
⁣
LEARN. ⁣
⁣
Support black businesses. ⁣
⁣
Share black creators. ⁣
⁣
Make donations to organizations actively helping the cause. ⁣
⁣
Educate yourself.⁣
⁣
Do the work.⁣
⁣
Let it be known in your words and your actions that you will not stand for this. ⁣
⁣
SPEAK. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been sharing resources on stories the past few days and I will continue to do so. Will we get back to regular content eventually, sure! But today? Right now? Our voices are needed elsewhere. Nobody cares about your eye cream. I promise. ⁣

What do you do when you need a mood booster?! AD⁣
⁣
Here’s some of what I do to supplementally boost my mood when I’m having one of those days! ⁣
⁣
💦 Stay Hydrated⁣
⁣
📖 Take a break from the internet and read a book ⁣
⁣
🍬 @infinite_c_b_d Gummies! These help me with everything from calming my nerves to focus during the day, helping with inflammation after a workout, to allowing me to sleep better at night. And they’re delicious. CBD can also target Acne which is something I just learned recently and thought I’d share!
⁣
🏋️‍♂️ Workout! I might not always be excited to workout but I’ve never regretted a workout. ⁣
⁣
🖊 Journal. Sometimes it helps to just let go of all of your thoughts. Put pen to paper and get it all out. ⁣
⁣
🚗 Take a drive⁣

If I’ve gotta wear a mask, I may as well have a theme 🤣😍 aren’t these the cutest?! ⁣

My sweet friend @nycrecessionista’s mama made these for Jim & I and I’m obsessed. If you want one, just DM her and she’ll point you in the right direction (if fabric allows 😍)
