Inside Out Blog

Welcome back beauties!         I am so happy to have you here today, thank you for stopping by! The reason I'm so happy to have you here is because today's topic is a deep, challenging one that almost everyone struggles with, and that is self love. Why does everyone struggle so much with this? What are the underlying issues that cause such a lack of self love? The answers to this are deeply rooted in our societal conditioning- what we have chosen to believe about ourselves handed down to us from the past, and then continually enabled by those around us, creating a strong status quo that is faced with much resistance if not upheld. To find someone who truly loves themselves unconditionally is like finding a rare gem, you don't see it that often and everyone wants to attain that glow... that radiance... that happiness for themselves too. These people have a genuine, healthy and deep respect for themselves which no one can seem to touch. So what's the secret? ...

Hello again everyone!         OK so for today's post I want to talk about how to be happy with what you've got and where you are right now... and how doing that makes you absolutely beautiful. I know, it seems very hard to do right now. I know that many of you are facing insecurities about your body and appearance, but I am here to help you through this by giving you insights and teaching you to how to heal yourself. We all know that happiness is very attractive to everyone, so why not choose to be happy right now? If you come up with a list of reasons, then you will always come up with a list of reasons. They will keep changing and adding on. Trust me, I know, I've been there! When someone had asked me that question, why not be happy now, I responded that I will only be happy once I've reached my goal weight. My friend had said "then you will never be happy, you have to be happy now". I argued with her saying, "no I will!" But she was right. Even...

Hello again Bloggers!         OK for today's post, I want to talk a bit about the advice and information that are put out in women's magazines. I think that it's important to address this content because it's what's being distributed to the general public, and thousands, if not millions, of people are absorbing and using the information that is in these magazines. And the information and advice in most of these magazines (not all), at least in my personal opinion, is being used as a tool to control the behaviors of women, and giving them unhealthy and incorrect advice on subjects that women take and use in their personal lives. I've noticed this ever since I was a teenager, being able to spot unhealthy advice and wondering why and how that even got into the print . Even though magazines are great for inspiration and showing new creative trends, sometimes it's best to take what they say with a grain of salt. So I just want to create a hyper awareness of this...

Hello again everyone!         For today's post I want to talk about perspectives on weight, and how we let that affect how we view and define ourselves. This is certainly a topic that I have personally struggled with the most, out of all my topics so far, since I was a preteen. Unfortunately many other people also share my struggles with weight, especially since it's such a focus topic in our society, whether it's discussing the struggles and trying to find solutions, or praising and idolizing other's for their "perfect" bodies. The term "weight loss" still may catch your eye, but now relates to high hopes and disappointments, since we have tried it all, and no permanent solution has worked. But with a glimmer of hope and yearning desire to lose weight, you try again. I know, I've been there too! The endless cycle of trying and failing, making you start to think and believe that your ideal weight is truly impossible to achieve. But I've rec...

Welcome back beautiful people!         OK so for today's post, I want to discuss how to stand strong in how you hold yourself... to own your confidence. There are so many women and young girls out there who demonstrate a bit of a "wobbly" confidence level. It's like you are trying, but not quite getting there. But that's OK! It is a process of life to learn this, and I want to help you along the way. I know what you are going through because I myself used to be on the lower end of the "wobbliness" confidence level; I wanted to be confident, but on the inside I was putting myself down, unsure of myself, and even scared to put myself out there at all. It took a couple of years of growing and learning to get to where I am now, which is at a much healthier level. I learned how to be so much stronger and hold myself with the utmost self assured confidence. So I want to share with you some of my experiences of what and how I learned to get where I am today s...

Hello again everyone!         OK so for today's post I want to talk about body positivity and loving your body. This is something that I personally have struggled with my whole life and have recently overcome. I know that I am not alone here, and that many other women struggle with these same issues. There has been some great progress in this area, with having more realistic models model popular clothing brands and such, which is amazing! We need to keep moving forward in that direction, since there has been so much damage done, and damage that is yet still occurring. I want to help you not only be positive about how you feel about your body, but truly and sincerely LOVE it! Love and be happy about the skin you're in. Let's get down to it and really discuss and address not only what the core issues are, but how to overcome them. So I am going to help guide you through the muddy and trapped thinking of having a negative relationship with your own body.    ...

Welcome back my beautiful bloggers!         OK so for today’s post I want address the topic of anti-aging, and discuss ways that we can change our views on this process in terms of beauty and how we let it affect inner and outer-selves. I feel that it is important to address this because it is such a huge concern to women in our society. It has become extreme in the sacrifices that some women are making in order to avoid the physical effects of aging in terms of fine lines and wrinkles. Well first of all, you cannot avoid the physical effects of aging.  It is impossible… we are made of flesh not plastic. You can try, but nature does and will always win. So stop stressing about it! Don’t try to control things that are beyond your power. Now I’m going to do the opposite of that. I’m going to ask you to embrace this inevitable process. ‘Embrace it?!’ You may say?…Yes, you heard me, embrace your aging. Resisting it will only cause you further pain. So let go. And...

Hello everyone!         OK so for today's post, I want to encourage and discuss why you should really take care and enjoyment of your beauty rituals, like doing your makeup and hair every morning. You should honor this precious time that you have by yourself and enjoy the process. You may not think you have the time or that it's not THAT worthy of your attention, but here I will talk about why you should rethink how you feel about that. You deserve to devote your time and energy into doing what makes you feel good to prepare for the day and not be rushed.         Now I am going to use another personal example, one that I have already used in past blogs, but those times are part of what inspired me to write this blog in the first place, so forgive me if I sound repetitive. When I was a teenager, I absolutely loved getting ready for school in the morning, the whole beautification process of putting on my makeup, doing my hair, and p...

Hey there my beauties!         OK so for today's post, I want to talk about owning up to your right as a beautiful Goddess, Queen, and Princess. Connecting to your royalty as a feminine being. Many of us women don't think and feel so highly of ourselves, and why not? We should! We are the embodiment of feminine energy, it makes us part of who we are. No more putting ourselves down or underestimating our worth and rights, time for our strength and lights to shine upon each other and the planet we walk on. So I want to talk a bit about what I mean by "our royalty" and how and why you should own up to this extraordinarily beautiful part of who you are.          First I want to share what inspired me to write this post. It is now October and Halloween is coming up. So I am seeing a lot of costumes everywhere, and I now see so many variations of the Disney Princess's dresses out. People still go nuts over those classic cartoon icons, e...

Hello beautiful people!         OK so for today's post, I want to talk about acceptance. How and why should accept yourself fully, 100% as you are right now. Accepting all of your so called "flaws", things you don't like about yourself and your body, past mistakes, all of it. And right now, in this very moment. Because often we SAY we will accept ourselves in the future, like once we lose weight, or get a certain job, etc. That means that you will always just keep putting acceptance of yourself in the future, and never right now, which means...that likely you never will. You see? No, learn to do it now. It is a very powerful point of self growth to do so. This can be very challenging. But why should you do so and why is it so important? Well, it is important to be free. Free of burdens of guilt, shame, anger, and fears. You should be free to express you are and what you want to be, with no limits. If you do not fully accept yourself, then you are still holding somet...

Hey there!         OK so for today's post, I want to talk about how a beautiful personality is what makes you beautiful inside and out. Haven't you ever met someone whose personality was so big and lovely it completely changed your mind from your first impressions/judgments about them? Their personality is so infectiously wonderful, and shining so brightly, you can't help but know how truly beautiful they really are... despite what beauty "standards" they meet or not. They make you smile and laugh, and you can sense their genuine authenticity for how happy they make you feel while talking to and being around them. You can even sense it in the sound of their voice sometimes. Is their voice soft and gentle? Louder but friendly? Or is it harsh and unappealing? This usually gives an idea of the person with the voice; for example, haven't you ever found that after seeing someone then speaking to them their voice isn't at all what you thought it would be? I...
