Don’t be swayed by the “perfect” image

Wear the Shorts!

Coach Sophie

What REALLY makes women (uniquely) beautiful...

Society has always brought out new trends for us women to follow, no matter how bizarre some of them are, the majority seem to do it as they don’t want to be judged for not following the crowd. Which could mean doing some interesting things to our hair, skin and body which aren’t always healthy for us, physically or psychologically.

The one trend that has seem to stick for way too many years is the “Perfect Image.” What even is this?

Social media especially has encouraged women that they are not perfect if they have cellulite, stretch marks, scars or excess skin etc. Yet these are what make each individual women beautiful in their own unique way.

It’s hard to embrace these features when you are looking into the mirror and you don’t like what you see, especially after scrolling on social media where you’ve seen pictures of women with flawless skin, perfect hair and fitting into a size 6.

IT’S FAKE!!!!!!

Imagine how long it has taken them to photo-shop that picture, how many filters they’ve used, or how many photos it’s taken to hide what they call ‘flaws’, to get that perfect shot. How many beautiful (normal) women are not being included, are not showing themselves for fear of not meeting the standard?

Time to stop hiding your true self ladies, embrace it as you can trust me when I say an insecurity to you, is beautiful to someone else!

Let’s go ladies! Get those shorts out, the vests, crop tops, sleeveless dresses, skirts… or even just a pair of cropped trousers ! Feel cooler for summer! Enjoy that breeze!
