I read your post at shackled beauty and am relieved you have a mature outlook on this topic. I hate it when women beat up on themselves mentally just because they feel they do not measure up to prescribed ideals. I agree – we should be able to admire the unique qualities of beauty possessed by other women without feeling envious or inadequate.
I popped across to thank you for following my Women of Warfare! blog. Most appreciated.

What a beautiful reminder. We all tend to forget about appreciating others and instead, we keep on comparing them to ourselves. I love the quote, we definitely need this mindset especially during times like this!

The post was spot on and such a perfect representation of how girls and women are being affected by the over saturation of the stereotypical but severely flawed ideas of what it means to be beautiful in today’s society. That’s why it’s important to use our platforms like our blogs and social pages to send out positive messages about caring for, appreciating, embracing and celebrating our unique beauty, bodies and minds.
