Plus Size, My Size, Fun Size
In our world the average size of a woman is a size
14. I hear many Plus Size women say all
they want to do is blend in. Well I am here to let you all know that being
Curvy, and Plus Size is NOT about blending in it’s about STANDING OUT! Break
out of the shell that you should be embarrassed about your weight and shape. We
are no longer in that day and age where a size 2 is the only size considered
sexy and acceptable. As a Plus Size model it’s my job to bring out the sexy and
exude nothing but confidence and self-love. I want women of all sizes to see my
work and say to themselves I am sexy, I am beautiful and I love me!
There are three points I want to touch on in this article
that will help you develop and concentrate on a greater sense of self-love. 1)
It’s made in your size, but is it right for you 2) Make-up not Cake-up and 3)
Self-Esteem it’s all in how you perceive it! I am coming from a place of love
and if I inspire and educate just one woman who reads this or one man who
encourages his sister, wife or girlfriend then that’s an accomplishment all on
its own.
Not all clothing is made for all women just because it’s
in your size. It’s all about Fabric and Fit. For example just because they make
Spandex leggings in a size 16 does not mean you should wear it because it’s in
your size. You should look good, feel good and be comfortable in everything you
put on your body. Be selective about your choices. Not everything has to be
expensive either. But 9 times out of 10 a higher end fabric will feel and fit
your body better than a cheap piece of material! If you have to question
whether or not something is a right fit for you and your body type chances are
it may not be a fit. I take photos of myself in outfits to determine whether or
not it looks good and is a fit for me and my style. Try that or ask a friend or
family member that you trust to be honest with you. Just remember this it’s my
motto, when in doubt move on to the next outfit!
Make-up is used to enhance the natural beauty that
already lies within a woman and it should be used in moderation. If you don’t
know how to apply it, there are many tutorials on you tube that you may find
helpful or even your local make-up counters in the nearest mall may offer
tutorials. Be sure to choose what’s best
for your skin tone and type. I am a huge fan of Mac, Urban Decay, and Lancôme
to name a few. You should not cake it up
on your face nor should your colors be over the top unless that’s the look you
are going for. As a model I have to be very versatile for the role I am in at
any given time but on the regular I choose subtle natural looks. When in doubt
switch it up or ask the opinion of someone you trust.
Self-esteem is defined as a person’s own emotional
evaluation of self-worth. To raise your self-esteem practice self-care, make
new lifestyle choices, be positive about yourself. It’s one thing to have such
high self-esteem that you not notice when you need to improve on one thing or
another or when you are not kind or caring to others and their feelings.
Believe in yourself and try not to focus on the negative things if you feel you
can improve do the work. Another person’s perception of you cannot affect you
unless you allow it. Change starts from within. Only you can change anything
about you that you don’t love! Be in love with yourself, you can and will
attract that love that you exude.
Overall plus size is a great size and it’s all about
loving yourself and being happy with the person god created you to be. Love
yourself
