Before we move ahead, HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DARLINGS! I hope this year has been going so well for you all, and things are falling in place just how you want it? I decided to take a little break from posting on my social media page to posting here too. But just like most things in life, my break is up,…

It’s hard enough trying to make these decisions on our own, but when other people try to pressure us into making these decisions it gets even harder.

From insecurity over our thighs, arm, face, boobs, ass, tummy, weight, height, etc. it’s a long list to make. Personally, I’ve also “suffered” from body insecurities even though I know tips for overcoming them I still have days I struggle with it.

5 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS TO HELP WITH YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE
I took some time off the blog because I wanted to create impact, help people in some way even if it’s through my writing. I know most people enjoy my reviews, and I’d still be doing that too but I’d be focusing more on helping people with their self growth and development.
