Beauty Comes From Within

Yeah, yeah, yeah our Mom's have said it to each of us more than one time in our lives. Whether we were crying over a breakup, a zit on prom night or the fact that we couldn't fit into our jeans from last summer. It's a hard thing to realize when splattered on every billboard, magazine ad or TV show is a size 0 skinny blonde supermodel our boyfriends, brothers, Uncles and Dad's all adore.

However, the over edited and airbrushed models aren't real and probably lead an unhappy life. I mean imagine if you couldn't go out and eat a greasy cheeseburger after a night out just cause you wanted to. And you probably couldn't event have that night out you need after a tough week becuase alcohol has too many calories. No thanks! Plus, the majority of them are so airbrushed it's ridiculous, have you seen the stars without their makeup?

It's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month. There are so many strong woman out there who have gone through so much and still enjoying and going on with their life it's amazing. I came across the article below that just seemed to put things into perspective. Warning, it's about a 26 year old woman and her struggle to have/want sex with her boyfriend after cancer. It's brutally honest, funny and incredibly touching. http://bit.ly/1277MK
