Ah there’s nothing like random special days to pumpkin spice up your October calendar. Today is National Child Health Day, National Golf Lover’s Day, National Cinnamon Roll Day, National Taco Day and National Vodka Day.
Let me tie these things together now. I think this weekend should include equal parts of the 3 big “C”s—COLORS, CELEBRATION, and COMPASSION. This is a great time to pull out your cozy college sweaters or sweatshirts. Wear your colors proudly. And celebrate the work you’ve done this year. It’s been a tough one, and you made it through.
Recently Lizzo and Cardi B released an epic new video: Rumors. It is a gorgeous, raunchy, nasty, glorious music video that is most definitely NSFW. And in many ways, it’s a tribute to being yourself, and not caring what anybody says or thinks about you. And it’s inspiring. But like so many inspiring things, it comes at a cost.
And as a celebrity, sporting an “average-weight” body certainly invites trolls to criticize their bodies on social media. And while I applaud these celebrities for giving a nod to body positivity, I’ve noticed a few things.
In honor of Book Lover’s Day, I thought I would share some of my absolute favorite body positive/size acceptance books of the past two decades. All of these selections are thumbs WAY UP!
