On Loving Yourself

Why is it so easy to accept love from others yet so hard to find it in yourself? This week we talk about our struggles in learning to love our body, from societal pressures to fluctuating weight. We open up about wearing clothes that are too small in order to fit into a certain standard and how we have found a way to move away from that standard and use clothes to learn to love our bodies and express ourselves.

We emphasise that physical appearance doesn’t determine your worth, as we are all multi-faceted beings. We discuss how to reach self acceptance despite facing criticism on personality traits, and advise you on how to find parts of yourself you do like amongst the negative. We encourage everyone to look into themselves and chase their passions and interests in order to find a sense of happiness. Ultimately, we share the key to feeling confident: fake it till you make it.

Be kind to yourself, you’re beautiful.
