Okay, so I am writing this at 11:50 PM- so it’s still August second!!! lol. I wanted to post earlier but I had to work blahblahblah didn’t get around to it. So here is the activity for today:
August 2nd – Grab a huge pile of pictures of yourself (ones you love, ones you hate, and the ones in between), sit down, and spend however long you have to coming up with at least one positive thing about the way you look in each picture. Scrapbook them if you want to (its a nice thing to look back to), do it out loud with a friend, or just complete this exercise in your head – the point is to start focusing on the positive parts of the picture, and yourself, instead of the negative things!
This one will be fun! Since I love pictures and such- even though I would really like to make a scrapbook of all kinds of pictures I find inspiring- I’ll post some of my favorites of me here.

This picture is from two years ago- and I’ve always loved it. It may sound stupid but I love how graceful my hands look. I also think my eyes look fierce and I just love it all around.
I love my smile in this picture- and how every time I see it I feel beautiful and it just makes me happy.

Just like the one above, I love my smile and happiness. And I think my legs look cute~

At first I didn’t like this picture- because I’m not wearing any makeup, have zitty teenager skin all over the place, and thick eyebrows. But the more I look at it- the more I feel like I look pretty anyway.

And I like how I can still rock some purple eyeliner
I bought this super cute cupcake dress like a year and a half ago- but I never wore it because even though I liked it- I wasn’t totally comfortable in it (and I never felt I had a good occasion to wear it). So last week (when out with my besties) I decided to just go ahead and wear it- and it looked totally cute. (*waves hi to future roommate Nikki!*
)
hmm… As for a picture I really didn’t like?
.. This was one of the pictures from the beach set that I just didn’t like (and got sent to the computer trash can).. But if I have to say something positive about it- my boobs look pretty good
Well, I suppose that is all for this post. I wanted to have more pictures but A) I keep using up too much of the monthly GB allotted for being online and B) the post would take longer than it already does to load. Plus it’s 1 in the morning lol. I’ll post again later tomorrow today.
Awesome pictures! I love the cupcake dress so much (I’m a bit of a cupcake fanatic) and I’m totally jealous of how comfortable you look in a bikini

Gosh, you are gorgeous – I especially like the close-up picture of your face, without makeup or retouching.
