I don't normally keep up with French politics (maybe I should) but something extremely exciting came to my attention a couple of weeks ago; France recently passed a law stating that the media industry  can't publish a retouched photo without labelling it with a big red sign that says "This picture is fake an a completely unrealistic standard of beauty!!", I'm just kidding what it actually has to say is simply "retouched". They have also said that doctors must check models weight and health before they enter the modelling industry. C'est très excitant! It is a tiny step towards realism in this industry and what needs to happen now is America, who has a very large impact on the beauty industry, needs to pass a similar law, unfortunately I feel this would be extremely unlikely given how little their president seems to care for anyone, especially women. Give teachers guns, fantastic idea introduce more violence and stress to teenagers lives, sorry I...

Today I wanted to talk about something that affects absolutely everything and that's feeling good in yourself. If you can nail this most days then, as a general rule, life is going to be better on the daily. We can't control a lot of the stuff that goes on in our lives but we can brighten our days with fresh flowers, productivity or a little bit of makeup. Most of us  have beasts behind closed doors who haunt us day in day out, I'm not saying it solves those things but I truly believe that I can water it down with pure confidence.

We all have days where we just can't be asked and my tip is accept those days and really push to just feel good on the days where its possible. A few things that I make sure I'm always doing to help me boost my feel good factor include wearing makeup, fake tanning and having painte...

Today I want to share my thoughts on body positivity, specifically its  activeness in social media. I'm feeling very productive while writings this as, shock and horror, I'm actually sat at my desk! Anyway I just want to start off with what I'm not going to talk about, I'm planning to write a whole other post about why I don't think social media is  as bad as everyone says it is so I'm literally only going to talk  about one of the 'glass half full' aspects of social media: the body positivity movement.  Firstly lets discuss what body positivity means to me; in my opinion, as long as your completely healthy then who gives one about what size you are. If you eat well, exercise regularly and don't have any lifestyle induced health issues then it does not matter how many stretch marks you have! I'm not saying its okay to be fat, as research shows that being overweight has definite negative side affects, but I am saying that as a society our idea ...
