#BodyPositive: Blogger Asta Talks About Self Love!

Third edition in our #BodyPositive campaign is from a beautiful fashion+ Lifestyle blogger- Asta  from Cactus and Cucumber

I think it is extremely important to love your body. The fact that it is YOUR body should be the sole reason to love it and nurture it. 

As I grow older, I begin to realize that positivity and confidence are a state of mind. If you are healthy and happy, that's all it really matters. No one needs to look the certain way. We all are different. If we all looked same, we wouldn't be talking about this issue today. 

I have always been called shorty, baby face all my life. When I was in my early 20s, people told me that I looked like 14. I hated that. I hated that I looked like a child. 

Today, I love it. I love the fact that I am small (I am barely 5 ft tall). I mean, I can't change my body so why not embrace it. It is still an ongoing process. But, my body is worth it. I am worth it !

Miss Guilty Notes: Thank you Asta for telling us all that no matter what, we have got to embrace ourselves. You truly are gorgeous in every way. The next time someone tells a plus size girl' to go eat a salad' or a skinny girl to 'go eat a sandwich' just tell that person to drink a warm glass of "shut the hell up." I am proud to present to you guys an all new real girls campaign, #BodyPositive. If you too, have a story to share or have struggled for acceptance or you have found your calling or you just want to be featured here then please drop a line on devina@guiltybytes.com or just drop a comment, I will get back to you!
