I’m not going to lie; I still struggle with myself every day. Any time I post a picture on social media of me in a bralette, I get a posting hangover. I still worry that people think I am trying to flaunt my body on the internet, that I’m doing this for attention, or that I give zero fucks. The honest truth is that I give many fucks, too many, in fact, about why we need to be so hard on ourselves. I do it to create awareness that we are all in this together.

I find this time of year incredibly romantic. Every thing gets sparkly and smells like cinnamon. This is the coziest time of year in my house, and I love getting all snuggled in with my love for no reason at all, but I don't love how dry and chapped my lips get. It seems to me, that no matter how much water I drink or how many times I put lip balm on, my lips just feel dry. Last year I started using a lip scrub and it seriously changed my life.
