Bikinis for Every Body
I am going to start off by saying summer time is a complicated season. It is a season where we are so hard on ourselves. We feel guilt for all the things we did and didn’t do to be “ready” for summer. We are bombarded with messages and images that tell us if we are not a specific size that we are not good enough. Women all over the internet are asking you if you are ready to lose that last 10 pounds. We might be trying to squeeze into last summer’s shorts because birthday parties, social lives, dates with loved ones, pizza and life happen. Our bathing suits might not fit our bodies in exact the same way.
So hear me when I tell you: Your body changing is normal. The weight fluctuations are normal. The cellulite is normal. The varicose veins are normal. The one boob bigger than the other is normal. The moles are normal. The zits in weird places are normal. The hair on your body is normal. Repeat after me: My body is normal. And we need to start treating it that way.
Your body, right now, just as you are is worthy of living life to the fullest. It is worthy of short shorts, bikinis, tank tops, and more! It is also worthy of love and compassion for all the things it has given you. I have suffered from negative self talk for most of my life. I blame it on my perfectionist personality. Lately, in the quiet moments I’ve been silently thanking my body for what it does for me. I do not need to be fixed and my body does not need to be changed. I am enough as I am (and you are too).
Thank you body for sleeping so well last night. Thank you body for telling me when you’re thirsty. Thank you body for walking me outside to the sunshine. Thank you body for being capable. Thank you body for telling me when to eat. Thank you body for knowing how to relax. Thank you body for dancing to music. Thank you body for working so hard when I push you so far. Thank you body for forgiving me for all the wrong things I’ve done to you. Thank you body for still being there for me after I said so many mean things to you. Thank you body for being healthy. Thank you body for being mine.
So now it’s time to put that body in a bikini. Any bikini you choose. The one that you like the best (not the ones that magazines tell you that you have to wear for your body shape, size, weight, etc.). Bikinis are for every body.
Below are a few of my most recent favorites from @PacSun. If you would like to see more information on these bikinis, check out my instagram stories @mrs.adrianakincaid. I love their bikinis because:
They are affordable.
They can easily be mixed and matched.
The fabric is flexible and soft.
They have a bikini for every body.
