FOX and ABC not ready for Curvy TV

AS YOU HAVE SEEN WITH MOST OF MY POSTS, IT SEEMS THE FASHION WORLD IS STARTING TO TAKE STEPS ON SHOWCASING ALL SHAPES & SIZES OF WOMEN. HOWEVER, FOX & ABC RECENTLY BANNED A LANE BRYANT COMMERCIAL(A CLOTHING LINE FOR PLUS SIZE WOMEN) STATING IT WAS "TOO RACY" FOR PUBLIC TV. NOW LETS LOOK AT THE OBVIOUS HERE....WE CAN SHOW A VICTORIAS SECRET COMMERCIAL & HOLIDAY RUNWAY SHOW( WE ALL KNOW THOSE ARE NOT DISCRETE) ON PUBLIC TV, BUT WE CAN NOT SHOW A COMMERCIAL OF A PLUS SIZE WOMAN IN LINGERIE???
THIS IS MAKING A HUGE STATEMENT!!!!
APPARENTLY, THE US IS NOT READY TO EMBRACE THE FACT WE HAVE FULL FIGURED WOMEN LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY.......


....YOU WATCH BOTH VIDEOS AND DECIDE............

Are you Hungry?

 Crystal Renn, a well known supermodel for the Plus Community, talks about her life as a model when thin was in and how she was destroying her body in order to fit the anorexic norm of a super model. Below you can watch her talk about her transformation from skinny to curvy. Crazy to think a plus size model in todays fashion world is a size 6 and up!!! Especially when the average woman is a size 12-14!!!

PRESERVE YOUNG SKIN

Im sure all of you have heard your mother and/or grandmother's say to you when you were young,

" Take good care of your skin! 

It needs to last you the rest of your life.

And wear that sunscreen!" 

Luckily today's generation has a lot more options on beauty and education on how to preserve their youthful skin! And unfortunetly we start aging at the young age of 19!!! Therefore it is SO important to establish a daily regimen when we are young! Remember it is an....

INVESTMENT IN OUR SKIN! 

Now lets not get carried away and expect our young teens to attend the spa every week for deep cleansing facials....but it is important to invest in a proper cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen for their skin type.
Some of my favorites: Clean & Clear, Neutrogena and L'Oreal Paris Go 360 Clean Deep Facial Cleanser for Sensitive skin.....Remember to choose a product best fit for their skin type: Normal, Oily, Dry, Sensitive

Below is a fun pic of Young Beauty Ambassadors( Teeghan and Baylee) taking a stand for Preserving their youthful skin!!

Because They're Worth It!

WHAT IS YOUR "PRICE OF BEAUTY?"

Inspired by "Jessica Simpson's Price of Beauty" in the Paris episode, Jessica visits a former model, Isabella Caro, batteling with anorexia. Over the years Isabella has founded an ad campaign, NO ANOREXIA for Nolita, to bring awareness to the extreme measures models go through to be "beautiful."

Watching this episode brought tears to my eyes and left me with a sickening feeling in my stomach. Imagine how many models, woman, young girls battle with this deception of beauty? In today's world we are driven by what we see in the magazines, TV, movies as what our bodies "should" look like. Unfortunetly, according to a study conducted by SELF magazine, 65% of woman suffer from some type of eating disorder in their lifetime. I, myself, was one of them. At a young age I saw my body as a waste, not beautiful, and had my own battle of what was "truly beautiful." Luckily, I was able to pull myself out of a dark hole and shed light on the "true" beauty we each have.
As woman we need to take a stand for ourselves and recognize the beauty that faces us everyday when we look into the mirror. Ignore others opinions, societies "rules" and focus on what makes you the unique and beautiful individual that you are. Reverse your words, instead of " I hate" to " I love" about your body. And if there are areas you want to improve, go for it, but in a healthy way.....Because the "Price of Beauty" should not be so high.
