Instagrammy

Daily glitter and recommended reading: Milk and Honey and The sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur I stumbled on to MILK AND HONEY by Rupi Kaur first because I saw a quote on Instagram and immediately bought the book out of sheer curiosity and hope. Kaur is described as a feminist poet and I wanted her to have beautiful things to say. She didn’t disappoint. Her prose is raw, bewitching and simple. The book is a collection of poetry about survival and per her description, “the experience of violence, abuse, love and femininity.” The first chapter, The Hurting, hurt. But in that – Ohmygod, YES, kind of way when a woman says something you’ve never given yourself permission to say. She describes the way a girl is raised to view her own body in a hyper-sexualized world. These are conversations we should have with the girls in our lives. These are conversations we should have with our daughters. I suggest we give our daughters their voices and their confidence before they look for it out of cynicism and hurt. Before they have to write a poem. Whether or not poetry is your thing or some of her words about young love resonate – I love her mission to make women look at ourselves and each other in a beautiful, accepting light. Gorgeous. #readinglist • 📷: @bethanypaigephoto • • • • • • #bookstoread #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #poetry #poems #rubikaur #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #bookclub #bookworm #feminism #feminist #loveforwords #wordsforher #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #authors #bookquotes #inspiration #inspirationalwords #inspired #milkandhoney #bookshelves #empoweringwomen #empoweringgirls

When you look at a feed, are you immediately inspired to be the best version of yourself, or do you feel a lack? Do you wish you were that person and find yourself berating who you are today? What does your gut tell you about the message you’re receiving? Does it feed a mean-girl itch? Be honest. Look deeper. If it makes you feel anything remotely negative, click that unfollow button without a second thought. It’s not rocket science. There’s no need to question why. Believe in your intuition. Now actively select the women you want to model your life after. Seek out the women who lead by example, who make you feel strong and inspired. Follow. Repeat. Feed your soul through your feed.

I try to be thankful for my body in this moment, knowing in ten years I’ll wish I looked like I do today. I thank my strong legs for keeping me going, my healthy body for creating a life, my clear skin, my freckles for being only lightly freckly. I thank my smile for not only being large (One of my nicknames in high school was The Joker. Let’s move on…), but bringing light to those I love when they see it. I try to be aware of the negative self talk that sneaks up on you. These are the things you didn’t consciously realize were there, but something stirs something deep. A rebuff or a rejection has you suddenly questioning whether you are lovable or worthy? A question or criticism suddenly makes you question your intelligence or motivation? See it for what it is in the moment. This is war talk. It is your dormant inner critic. Don’t allow it to fester. Do the work if you need to, but do not start to believe it. It is a dirty liar. I give you permission to treat it as an enemy. #selflove #loveyourself • • • • • • • #photooftheday #selflovequotes #selfloveiskey #selfloveisthebestlove #wordsforher #lore #exploreyourlore #selfworth #selfdevelopment #selfimprovement #selfesteem #thankful #gratitude #grateful #growthmindset #growthmindset #womensbest #inspiration #womeninspiringwomen #womenempoweringwomen #womenempowerment #loved #loveyourselffirst #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writers #wordsofwisdom
