Look Great Outside and Feel Great Inside

I found a great website I thought I’d share with you: It’s bodyimageproject.com and it made my day. The idea is that you write or film your own testimonial about how you came to terms with your body issues. How do you feel about the way they look? Writing it out anonymously feels AMAZING. Trust me.

Sometimes it seems like there’s no happy medium when it comes to our looks. On one hand mainstream pop-culture is telling us to turn ourselves into bottle-blond plastic-surgery-loving Barbies (Ahem . . . Heidi Montag!)  and telling us that the alternative isn’t appealing.

the naked truth

This month’s Australian Marie Claire magazine has model Jennifer Hawkins posing naked and un-airbrushed or unretouched. She looks amazing, her skin is really nice, and she isn’t hairy.

I remember the first time I heard about airbrushing. It was probably 1995 when I read this question to the beauty editor in Sassy magazine: “What is airbrushing and how can I do it at home?”

It seems so naïve now, but at the time no one really knew about airbrushing! (Especially not pimply hairy teenagers reading beauty magazines!)
