True Beauty by Andy Massena
When I saw the art work Andy Massena made of my friend Steph (above) I fell in love! I wanted to know more about the project. Andy asked me to send a nude picture of myself. Honestly I was a bit hesitant because it felt weird to send a nude to an unknown man in Brazil. But I did it anyway… And I love the result!

I am enough
Not good enough. Not strong enough. Not smart enough. Not thin enough. Not witty enough. Not pretty enough. Not sporty enough. Not social enough. Not friendly enough. Not sexy enough. Not normal enough. Not out there enough. Not politically engaged enough. Not creative enough. Not rich enough. Not worthy enough. Not lovable enough.
Why I killed my blog (and brought it back to life again)
If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. Well the good news: I’m back. The bad news: it’s a rocky road. I think this is going to be the most personal post so far. And I have to warn you: it’s not uplifting, but it will be honest.

Thursday Thunder: Marianne Nykjaer
‘You will never be able to love your body as long as you cringe at the thought of looking at it’
It’s Thursday again, so you know what that means: time for some thunder! There are so many inspiring women out there and this is my way of celebrating them – and asking them all about their body confidence. This weeks Thunder comes from student, model and blogger Marianne Nykjaer (26). She’s from Belgium – give me waffles please!!- and absolutely gorgeous. And she got some pretty damn good advice for us too!
Thursday Thunder: Yoliswa Mqoco
‘My self esteem is what makes me happy’
Thursday Thunder is back! Come and get your body confidence fix! This gorgeous lady from South Africa has been in my Instagram feed for a while now, and I love about everything she posts. This fashion student, stylist and personal shopper got me very curious. So I decided to ask Yoliswa Mqoco to share her Thunder. When it comes to self-love her message is about as empowering as it gets.
Hello beach body!
How to have a beach body? Have a body. Go to the beach. Right. I know this to be true, now, but for years it wasn’t that simple for me. Life just wasn’t a beach. Even though I loved the beach, the sea and being sun kissed, I didn’t like my body on the beach. Especially not in a bathing suit or bikini. I felt like I didn’t belong there. The beach is a place for slim, toned and perfect people. At least that was what I told myself.
