I've been playing around with my style and wanted to make her more expressive in her facial features, to help tell the story with silly faces that kids love!

I love Mermaiding, wild swimming in the ocean and feeling connected to nature in a way I can’t describe. 🧜‍♀️

But when I am on land, its a different story. I feel bogged down by all of the impossible beauty standards placed on women to get “Beach Body Ready”. Especially since none of those Hollywood inspired “ideal” bodies look like mine. And sometimes, I even feel pressured by other mermaids to look a certain way to be considered "beautiful".😅

When I first saw this photo I didn't like it, because my tail cuts into my stomach and gives me a little belly.

But today I've decided to love ALL of my curves; I love my big hips and voluptuous feminine shape because this is my body and it always will be.

💙 I love my thighs that help me stand strong and power me through the water as I swim.

💙 I love my hips that make dancing to the beat of my own drum all the easier.

💙 I love my belly that jiggles when a friend makes me laugh til I’m in tears.

No matter your body shape or size, you are Beautiful. We might forget sometimes that the female form is gorgeous for its individuality, that most photos today are photoshopped or filtered to a person that just simply does not exist. I know this because I worked in a fashion studio where even the skinniest models were still being edited to someone that just simply wasn’t real.

So today, I decide to love myself, the real me. And I hope this inspires you to love yourself too. You are beautiful just the way you are, inside and out...whether you are in a mermaid tail or not! ✨✨✨✨
