Let’s Talk: Body Confidence

Leave a comment

Hey dolls,

This week I want to talk about something that I think is really important- body confidence.

Now a days there is so much pressure on us to look and dress a certain way, don’t get me wrong I love insta as much as the next girl but it gives us a tinted view of life. I caught up with my pocket rocket personal trainer Jenna to talk all things body confidence.

There are so many variations of body confidence from body positivity to body neutrality but to Jenna body confidence means feeling happy in your own skin no matter you shape or size. This is something I completely agree with because self love is so important.

For me when I eat right and get the endorphins flowing in the gym I feel so much more confident, something Jenna echoes saying that nutrition and exercise could play a role in increasing body confidence but nowadays “looking good seems to trump feeling good”.

Learning to love yourself and the skin your in isn’t easy so Jenna and I have a couple of tips on how you can start to feel body confident.

  1. STOP comparing yourself to others, the only person you should be competing with is yourself and if that means unfollowing people on Instagram do it!
  2. Take the focus off looks and think about your health and well being. Take a day to pamper yourself, put down your phone and eat some feel good food.
  3. Wear what makes you happy! For me fashion is my armour and I truly believe the right outfit can lift your mood and your confidence.

Body confidence isn’t something that comes overnight but it is so important! The journey to self love and confidence is a marathon not a sprint, take your time and it will come!

Caio Bellas!

Life update: new decade!

Hey Dolls,

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year, I certainly did! So, as I haven’t posted for quite a while I thought I’d give you a little life update and tell you what I’ve been up to.

After my last post I had some family things happen that meant I wasn’t in the right headspace to write and I didn’t want to force it as I like what I post on here to be authentic and real. 2019 was definitely a mixed bag of a year with some amazing memories as well as some hard times, but let’s stick to updating you on the good stuff!

Right… let’s get stuck in!

March: I went for a lovely afternoon tea at the Berkley Hotel with my best friend for her (very) belated 21st birthday pressie. It was so yummy, I mean combining fashion and cake is always a win in my book!

April: I love doing charity events, so when the spottydog girls suggested the LOROS 10K walk I was in! These events are always so much fun and I love an excuse to dress up!

May: Saw another amazing Acapella showcase, all the hard work paid off! I love this lot crazy amounts! As well as the Society Awards which are always fun!

June:  Marked the end of my incredible placement year with the lovely spottydog communications team! Fair to say I enjoyed my send off!

July & August: Holiday central for me with trips to Barcelona, Tenerife and Mar Menor!

September: Time to adjust back to being a student! I moved into my student studio and got back to lectures to finish my degree.

October: Halloween and lots of socials getting to know the Acapella newbies…

November: Ok fan girl moment…MCFLY ARE BACK!! I was very excited to see them reunited at the O2. I also took my lovely little cousin to her first concert which of course was Little Mix!

December: A lovely Christmas with my family, trip to Amsterdam and celebrating the New Year in Fuerteventura.

So that’s a round up of my 2019! I’m really excited for what 2020 has in store and am really happy to be blogging again!

Ciao Bellas,

Life update!

Hey Dolls,

Happy New Year to you all! So you may have noticed I have been missing for a few months so I thought I’d give you a quick update of what I have been up to.

It’s been a busy few months so lets start with September! In September, I started my placement year at spottydog communications. The team are so lovely, I’ve already had so much great opportunities and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year with the spottydog ‘pawsome’ pack brings! September also saw me take over as DMU Acapella’s chair and with amazing new members, I can tell 2019 is going to be a year of great things for the society.

November saw a girlie trip to London with my aunts and mum which resulted in pampering, shopping and cocktails! Acapella recorded our first proper track which was really exciting and I also helped to organise a Leicester Business Festival event, resulting in us winning ‘Event of the year’.

December is always a crazy month, the madness began with spottydog’s Christmas campaign featuring DMU Acapella which was so much fun! I spent Christmas with my lovely family and enjoyed a well earned break. It has become a bit of tradition for us to go away for New Year and this time we decided to head to London for a few days. We stayed in the M by Montcalm in shoreditch, went to see Tina the musical and brought in the new year at Millbank Tower’s SkyBar.

So that’s what I have been up to, I’m really excited to be back writing and will be uploading fortnightly.

Ciao Bellas,
