  • This gorgeous woman is a pure example of courage. I've had the absolute pleasure of photographing her a couple of times and I love telling her story. ✨ You can find a few blog posts on my blog featuring her and her story so go ahead and click on the link in my bio. ✨ These two photos were posted by @aliceninna yesterday and this is what she wrote: "This is the first bikini picture that I have ever published on social media. It took a lot of courage to do that because I have felt in the past and sometimes still feel my body is not good enough to be seen. I can still remember how I felt on the day we took these pictures in Kenting. I was nervous and ashamed of myself when I looked at my friends taking first their pictures, since they all are so beautiful in every possible way. I didn’t really want to have any material of me in a bikini, because I could already imagine how horrible it’d be to see the pictures later and be so miserable and disappointed about my body. However, I let my friends take some pics since I didn’t want to be a party pooper. Later I took a look at the pictures and wasn’t very happy, as I expected. But then I started to think more about my body, the incredible things it has done: all the places my legs have taken me and all that stress my body handled during the last year. Why shouldn’t my body be worth being seen just because it doesn’t fit in our society’s beauty standards? There should not be a weight limit when people become less worthy. It has been almost two years since @studiometsa took empowering pictures of me (thank you Erika ♥️), I talked openly about my body image issues and decided to stop hating myself. I still don’t love all my belly rolls and like I said, sometimes I’m not feeling beautiful and worthy of love. But I’m getting there, slowly. A big part of my process is talking out loud about my insecurities, so they don’t feel that big anymore. So thank you for taking your time to read this through and I’m more than happy to share some thoughts about this topic. Have a great Sunday, I wish that you feel good in your body today ♥️" ✨ If you don't already, go follow her. She's an inspiration. ✨ Love you, Alice!
  • Sometimes it's really difficult to go from darkness to light. ✨ Sometimes it's really difficult to expose who we truly are. ✨ We fear ridicule. We fear isolation. We fear a lot of things. ✨ But I encourage you to take the road less travelled. The high road. The one that's made for you. That feels like you and looks like you. ✨ And remember: ✨ "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears." -Nelson Mandela ✨ Happy Monday!
  • NEW VIDEO: The Makings of a Good Life // Click link in bio! ✨ This Sunday I made good choices that led me to making this video. Check it out and leave a comment if it spoke to you! ✨ Sending you lots of love and hugs,⠀ Erika
  • Everything in my life depends on me.⠀ ✨⠀ The external circumstances have little to no control over my happiness. No matter how easy it is to blame them.⠀ ✨⠀ And this is something I’ve thought about a lot recently - our minds and the effect it has on us.⠀ ✨⠀ The way I see it is that our minds are like a filter between our external and internal worlds.⠀ ✨⠀ And it decides how we feel about whatever is happening outside of us.⠀ ✨⠀ And for that reason our mind is the key to contentment and happiness. It’s the gate keeper. It either keeps us happy or it keeps us miserable.⠀ ✨⠀ What do you think? Does it seem plausible? Let me know in the comments below!
