Don't criticize but love yourself!

Hello sweeties <3 

Today I want to talk about a topic that is really important to me and that has followed me around since forever (literally xD) - I am talking about how I perceive myself, especially how I perceive my body. I will be honest - even though I find women beautiful in every size and even though I think there is NO size to beauty...even though I have this kind of mindset I can't seem to apply that mindset to myself. I am pretty confident that from another persons point of view I am not to fat, I might even be considered beautiful but when I look in the mirror I see all my imperfections magnified - and I think a lot of girls/women out there have the exact same problem. And honestly, I don't want to hate myself every time I look in the mirror - but unfortunately my subconcious decided that it is more important what the whole world perceives as beautiful than what I feel is beautiful.

In light of this way of thinking about myself I am really glad that out there in the world are women like Taryn Brumfitt, who have experienced the same thoughts and feelings towards here body as I did and who want to change something about the way we and the world see women of different shapes - therefore I am sharing the below video. Not only to show others that everyone is beautiful whatever the shape or size but also to show myself that I don't have to be size 0 to feel beautiful ^.^

The link to the original video here.

Another really nice video that I just today stumbled across is some kind of "guide" on how to boost your self-confidence whatever size/shape you are...seriousely, we need more people thinking like that: The only one who can truly make us happy are we ourselves...and the most important thing to do that is with starting to love ourselves 100% without criticizing ourselves every single moment~

I wish you a wonderful day <3

xoxo

It is pink...

Hello my sweeties <3

Look what I got myself at amazon yesterday *tadaaaa*

Ultrafit by Ultrasport Lady Stepper

As I complain about my body pretty often and complaining never helped anyone I decided I want to do something against it. I already started doing Aerobic once a week (now we have holidays here so no course atm) but I don't think that is enough so I got myself this little fellow. Hopefully I have the mental strenght to use it every day ^^" But I will give my best *hehe* ...oh, and did I mention: IT IS PINK XDDD

Well~ have a nice evening <3

Travelling Lolita~

Hello my sweeties <3

How are you? Hope you are fine and have a nice and sunny day :3

Just wanted to post some recent Outfits that I wore during my long weekend ^^

Travelling Lolita...wore that on Friday on my way to Erlangen ^^ Well~ the color of my shoes is not exactly the same green/mint of the dress...but I like how it looks together anyways :3

Pocket Embroidery onec again <3 This time with my own hair xD And OMG without blouse (but Cardigan *haha*)...was tooo hot to wear one...and I think the dress looks nice as a sundress too ^^

And a new dress I bought at New Look :3 Kinda like the dress of a greek goddess <3 And hey, my body type fits the image of a goddess...am I right? ;D

On another note, in becoming the "irresistable me" I make progress every day...I give myself a thumbs up for that *hahaha* Although I have to get rid of that overthinking every little thing and that clingy nature of mine...but I am working on that :)

Have a nice day <3

For an irresistable me...

Hello my sweeties <3

Today I want to talk about something that has occupied my mind for the longest time. 

-Loving yourself the way you are and being happy -

Until now in my mind, although I had portions of myself, that I really liked, that I really was proud of, I was a self-loathing person. I thought myself not good enough for others, I felt inferior most of the time. And to be honest I needed people to tell me that I had worth. But now I realized that not other people give me worth, I am already a great person. I tried to look for love to make me complete and give me something that I thought I needed so much but that was an illusion, I realize that now. Well~ I already knew those things in the past...god knows how often my friends told those things to me. My problem was I didn't want to let go of the things I knew held me back and I didn't want to realize that something went wrong. I build my own castle of fairytales I spun myself. Fairytales of undying love that is only found in another person. But the saying "You can only really love another person if you love yourself" may be oh so banal but it is so true. And again, "knowing" this and really knowing it are some totally different shoes.

So~ what made me have that epiphany, you may ask? Well, for the last 6 months my lovelife was running wild, I was swept away and everything went on in chaos. At some point I decided for myself that this can't be the way, I can't stay miserable all the time. I want to be happy! So~ I got reminded of a book that 6 months ago I would never have read. When I first heard about that book I just thought "Nah, I don't need that, I can manage!"...well, I could not!

Who doesn't want that? ;)

Now I am only halfway through that book but it already helped in ways I would never have imagined. Although what is written there is nothing new to the world it made me open my eyes to the things that went wrong with me in the past. And don't let the title mislead you - it is more than a guide to get the man for you. It is a guide to loving and being in harmony with yourself...and if you achieve that you can be in harmony with others...because the only one who can make you happy is yourself. If you can't do that, how do you expect to make others happy?

So~ hope you have a nice day as well <3

Lots of love and kisses~
