Love Yourself ; Your Beautiful ♥

MTV takes control of self esteem & being yourself with the new reality show ; If You Really Knew Me

The MTV reality show, (which airs at least once a day) 'If You Really Knew Me' got my attention while channel surfing after hearing about the 'be the change' campaign that had been buzzing in high schools all across the country. I found myself relating to each and every student - i couldn't get enough. I watched both hour long episodes in a row, and i knew that as soon as i was done that i would have something to blog about. Check it out!!

~ SUMMARY ~

In high school, there are the students who rule the school -- like jocks, cheerleaders, and the popular kids -- and the ones who get picked on -- like nerds, emos, and outcasts. That's just high school, right? But what if you could change that?

Like a reality version of The Breakfast Club, each episode of If You Really Knew Me takes place at a different high school, and follows five students from different cliques as they go through the life-changing experience of Challenge Day, a one-day program that breaks down the walls between cliques, and completely changes the way students view their school and each other. Watch the amazing transformation each week as new students open up for the first time and try to change by revealing who they really are, behind the cliques and the labels. Is it possible to change your life, and maybe even your high school, in one day? These students are going to find out... on If You Really Knew Me.

we love this site ! :)

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." ~Harvey Fierstein

Be yourself.

Wear that dress that makes you feel special around the house.

Experiment with makeup.

Decorate your room just how you like it.

Read books no matter how odd or eyebrow raising the covers may be.

Sit on facebook for hours just because you simply have the time.

Write everything on your mind in a journal.

Dance in the mirror.

Sing in the shower.

Define the unique ~

Be You.

Body Peace Treaty ; ♥

While reading Seventeen Magazine, (Which i do relgiously) I came across yet another article from the leaders of 'The Body Peace Treaty'. I don't know exactly why but i always feel so inspired by these little articles that I figured I would share this treaty with you as well. Comment this if you vow, & follow! xoxo

Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if I had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight.
Never blame my body for the bad day I'm having.

Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies.

Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.

Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.

Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment I walk, talk, think, breathe...

Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that I'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me.

Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.

Remember that even the girl who I'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates.

Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break.

Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who I am inside.

Know that I'm already beautiful just the way I am.

 

 

Imperfect is the New Perfect ;

I was watching some video collaberations between Caitlin Crosby & Shane Dawson when i actually heard all the meaningful lyrics of 'imperfect is the new perfect' & found it kind of inspiring. I found them online and posted them so you can read them & hopefully take away a little bit & smile. Too listen, check it out on youtube or myspace.

Compare the way my body looks through the magazines,

don't know why everybody's buying into the scene.

So I'm gonna drive down the boulevard

not caring who has the fastest car,

tone down the makeup, and the noise,

cause whats inside will bring the boys.

I don't wanna look like you because

you're too perfect

you're too perfect.

and I don't wanna fill your shoes cause

its not worth it

its not worth it

don't fill the mold, i am real

too colorful to conceal.

imperfect is the new perfect

imperfect is the new perfect

if skin and bones is the secret to all your happiness

then pop your pills cause the money is never gonna last

so save the plastic for the toys,

come out your shell just make a noise

I'm gonna run

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna smile and not fit in

I'm gonna dance

I'm gonna strut

I'll shake my curves

and not give a fuck

I don't wanna look like you because

your too perfect

your too perfect.

and i don't wanna fill your shoes cause its

not worth it its not worth it

don't fit the mold, i am real.

too colorful to conceal.

imperfect is the new perfect

imperfect is the new perfect

just dry your eyes your beautiful

I understand its logical

cause these images are everywhere

they're make believe so don't compare

I don't wanna compare

were every shape and size

you know we're

just perfect

were just perfect

we love our hips our thighs

because they're

just perfect

just perfect

don't fit the mold, I am real.

to colorful to conceal.

imperfect is the new perfect

imperfect is the new perfect

I don't wanna look like you because

your too perfect

your too perfect.

and i don't wanna fill your shoes because its

not worth it its not worth it

don't fit the mold, i am real

too colorful to conceal.

imperfect is the new perfect

imperfect is the new perfect

Music Too Our Ears ;

I've been looking for some new empowering tracks and i found them with Caitlin Crosby, Priscilla Renea, & Fefe Dobson ; some of their songs really spoke to me, (Flawz, Imperfect is the New Perfect - Caitlin Crosby) (Pretty Girl, Workabee, & Dollhouse - Priscilla Renea) (Ghost, Watch Me Move - Fefe Dobson)

Be Unique; Be You.

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endurethe betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
