What are your best qualities?
I always try my best. I use my light to shine on others. And I make my bed every morning.
Do you have any undesirable qualities?
I have stretch marks. Cellulite. Veins you can see through my skin. I have a big Roman nose that hooks left now after an unfortunate incident with an ab roller.
What do you love the most about your body?
The smile I got from my mom. The height I got from my dad. The strong legs and shoulders I share with my little sister. The long neck that gives my boyfriend lots of different places to kiss.
Tell us the story about your scars...
The summer before high school, I was sitting in the bath when I noticed these mystery stripes on my upper thighs. At 13, it made me feel more grown up than I was ready to feel.
Describe your journey with body acceptance...
I’ve always felt younger than I am, like my brain is catching up with my body. Now, when I see myself naked, I’m quickly reminded I’m not a teenager anymore, but an authenticated 32-year-old woman with depth and wisdom to share. My stretch marks are like a map on my skin. They tell a story of where I’ve been and how much I’ve grown.
How do you incorporate self-love into your routine?
I believe in the power of the Everything Shower. There’s nothing like coming out of a steamy bathroom thoroughly conditioned, exfoliated and shaved. I climb into bed feeling like a newborn dolphin. A sexy newborn dolphin.
