Plus is Equal

Have you met Ashley Graham? She is definitely my crush for this month! This beauty is an American model from Nebraska and also a "body activist" who is trying to change the way the fashion industry works. 

I've heard of Ashley the first  when she staged a plus size show in the latest New York  Fashion Week, which showcased her lingerie designs for plus size retailer Addition Elle. 

First of all: the lingerie was a-ma-zing.

Secondly: she absolutely rocked it! I mean.. After all, there's a reason why the hashtag was #IamSizeSexy! I loved everything, but most of all, I love that she has what most women lack the most: confidence.

It's time for people to understand that sexy doesn't have to be skinny and all body types are equally beautiful and deserve to be loved. It's not the first time I post about this subject, as I feel that women are still being judged and put into boxes of skinny/beautiful or fat/ugly based on their weight and this is extremely unfair and unreal. 

Again, I believe that at the end of the day we should be worried, not about the number on the scale, but about the fact that we're striving for a healthy lifestyle based on real standards that show us gorgeous women.

Is Photoshop killing us softly?

"Kiling us softly" is a very interesting video about the effects of Photoshop and advertising images on our confidence and, ultimately, on the society we live in. But why do women keep buying the idea that they will achieve this absolutely unreal and flawless appearance? The truth is nobody is that perfect.

Let's face it:

Like they say, we're just setting ourselves for failure. We're losing "time, energy and money" trying to reach something that is not going to happen... Sorry ladies! 




I also loved the fact that they quote the supermodel Cindy Crawford who said "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford". 

Well, this just says it all, doesn't it?
