Miss Honor~My Superwoman of January....

      Hello Loves, How are you all this week? Things have been a little crazy & I cannot even believe the month is practically over! I had promised you all that each month I was going to feature an Inspiring Woman & I know I am a little late but better late than never. On my Instagram I am featuring one woman a week yet on here I plan to do it once a month. So this month's "Superwoman" as I like to call is the Amazing, Beautiful, & Vivacious Miss Honorine! I have connected with her on the world wide social networking site Instagram, & thankfully she has took me under her wings & helped me reach a wider audience within my goal of helping women see their beauty as well as she has too.

      I cannot remember how I stumbled upon her account but I am so grateful I did because her & I have the same goals & views on that we as women should "Lift each other up no matter what & by doing that we are lifting ourselves up too!" She has started a movement called "Honor My Curves," as I have with my "Self-Love" Projects on Instagram. Everyday she will post an Inspiring Picture of herself with an insightful thought or powerful quote, & has started a community for women to post pics. of themselves so that they have a platform to show why they "Honor Their Curves." And it is not just honoring curvy women but honoring all shapes & sizes of women & men. Her goal just as mine has been to hopefully help them see their beauty & I know that we have spoken about in that it helps us love ourselves a little bit more as well knowing we are helping others. I wanted to dig a little more into her mind, & how the #HonorMyCurves movement got started & here's what she said...

"I started it out of my love for fashion, my yearning for self-acceptance, self-love & my belief that by supporting & being supported by other women it would help me. I discovered a couple bloggers who really inspired me to accept myself more but they were very "fashion-based," & I think that I am more "human-based." I really wanted to put the heart into my love for fashion, because it really stems from a yearning to love myself."
I also asked her for some tips that she could give some of my readers that help her feel more confident? She answered by giving these few little rules...
      1) It is easy to fall into that ditch of self-despair, but remember the road is only a couple steps away. Meaning if you fall into that self-hatred road, making self-abuse remarks to yourself, etc. that you just gotta shake it off, let it go, & keep moving forward in confidence.
      2) Fake it till you make it! Look into the mirror & say "I am worthy & I love YOU" to that person looking back at you. I think my heart & mind could see me looking back at me & it needed to hear those words so badly, even if I didn't believe them, I began to. Do it.
      3) Reach out for support. Support yourself. Support each other. Nothing makes a person more confident than helping someone else gain confidence. If you focus on the positive & helpful actions you cannot help but feel better about you too.
      4) Know that each one of us is meant to shine for our own unique reasons. Focus on what you love, crowd out what you don't. Energy goes where energy flows.

       If those 4 Amazing Tips did not convince you to fall madly in love with Honor's beautiful spirit I don't know what will. She also mentioned that her goal for the Honor Moves Movement is that "It will continue to grow & women/men everywhere will begin to see that beauty comes in different shapes & sizes; that media will embrace people in all their forms, & people will find self-acceptance & confidence from the inspiration they see in all the people participating in the #HonorMyCurves movement." Well Honor I THANK-YOU for being the Brave & Beautiful Superwoman in showing us our beauty! I can say your posts have inspired me in countless ways & I know you are doing the same for others! Keep it up girlfriend!

If you would like to continue on this beauty's journey you can find her on these networks...

    1. Hi Becky! First of all Thank You so much for your support! Tag me on Instagram so I know who you are ;) I still think all of us women are so hard on ourselves about our weight & I realized that even when we get to that goal weight it will not take away our problems or bring happiness. Being loving is happiness. Having love around you is happiness. Being healthy is happiness. Laughing is happiness. We all need to remind ourselves how AMAZING life is when we stop focusing on our weight...& Miss Honor is a pure example of that! Thx Again! XO
