Hi all, and Happy December!
This month we're raising awareness for the fight against AIDS and Impaired Driving Prevention. Let's make sure we're all safe, not only in this holiday season, but all 12 months of this year.
While researching stuff for the blog, I came across this video from Refinery29. I'd like to share it with you all because I think it captures the true essence of Oh My Swimsuit.
Body Image Video
I am sincerely interested in finding out what went through your mind as you were watching this video. Were you reminded of an awful bathing suit shopping experience? Or of times you looked at yourself in the mirror and hated something about yourself?
It's OK if you did; at some point in our lives (pretty much throughout all our lives, actually) we end up comparing ourselves to so called "perfect" women, and automatically feel bad about ourselves because we're not the spitting image of what we see on TV or in magazines.
Having said that, I hope you all felt even if a little bit of inspiration from today's post. There are so many things those lovely women said that I could comment on, but bottom line is there are so many different types of women, of beauty, and all we need to do in order to have a beach body is to pick our favorite swimsuit and make our way to the beach!! How liberating is it to know that your body is a beach body! High fives all around!!
What I want you all to remember is to first and foremost love yourselves and your bodies. They're our greatest instrument and we should all be proud of what it enables us to do. Once you've mastered that, anything is possible. If we're all different, why should we all want to look the same in a swimsuit? Fins the one that makes you feel like a queen, then get out there and rock it!
Happy Swimsuit hunting!
