Conversations with… Blogger and Influencer Jenni Dunlap (Subject: Body Image and Eating Disorders)
Sometimes you meet people online who change your life. For me, Jenni is one of them. After going from constantly being on the move travelling to working from home, my confidence was low. One day I stumbled across Jenni’s blog. From then on I began to look at my body as the vessel that had […]

Conversations with… Rachael Morgan (Subject: Body Image, Eating Disorders and Breast Reconstruction Surgery)
Women are constantly bombarded with messages on how they ‘should’ look. We should have abs, toned arms, toned legs and have straight, white teeth. We need to be hair free. We need to smile.

Conversations with… Michelle Hopewell (Subject: Body Image in an Image Focused Industry)
When interviewing people who work in show business, I always touch upon the idea of confidence in an industry that places importance on appearance.

I write about body image, learning to accept ‘flaws’ and how my relationship with makeup and weight has changed over time. I follow accounts that share photos embracing their curves, their acne, their stretch marks, their differences. All around me, I see people celebrating their bodies and their appearance. Growing up in a world that […]

Conversations with… Ariel Brown (Subject: Birthmark Acceptance)
For all of the criticism of social media, I can’t deny the positive of it allowing you to find people that are like you. When I was growing up, I never really saw anyone else with a visible birthmark. There was one girl at my primary school who had one on her arm and my […]

Learning to love my strawberry head
This is my fiancé’s favourite photo of me. He took it a few week ago mid conversation when I was poorly with tonsillitis. I’d spent two days in bed, hence the greasy hair and no makeup. I’m goofily laughing at something he said so my eyes are screwed up, showcasing every single one of my […]
