You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”.

Erin McKean, You Don’t Have to Be Pretty (via larmoyante)

one of my most favourite quotes.

Since I’ve started work and finish at 6pm and have to travel back home I need to find a way of staying active that isn’t as time consuming as and hour and a half in the gym. So I’ve got myself a swimming membership so I can go at least 4 times a week; 50 minutes during working days and an hour and a half Friday through till Sunday. When I get paid on Friday I’m going to buy myself some dumbbells so I can still tone. I wore a bikini in the pool today and looked and felt awesome :)! It’s nice feeling comfortable in yourself, like instead of feeling self conscious I felt really nice…

So funny how people don’t like it when you’re succeeding.

Dear girls &amp; boys …. the size of your shorts will not define who you are, will not change your beauty, will not change who you are. You all need to accept yourselves the way you are. The size in your shorts is just a number. I always see comments on pictures of 00 shorts saying ” i wish i was a 00 ” or ” i’m only a size 5” or ” can I have your body”… Just accept yourself the way you are, cause you’re beautiful as yourself. I’m not a size 00 and I’m fine with that. It’s just a number and it means nothing. So please stop being so hard on yourselves and look in the mirror cause I think you’re beautiful &lt;3 Who care’s if you’re a 00 or a size 14&#160;? i know I don’t cause i think you’re all beautiful no matter your size :) stay beautiful

I start my first day at work tomorrow at half ten so I’ll be going to the gym for 7:20… Which means leaving at 6:20… Which means getting up at 6:00 AM

I’m hoping for one of those empowering days where I’m followed around by sex and the city music, like; I’m going to do this workout and go to work and look so fabulouuuusss….. *Material Girl plays in the background*
