HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM HOLLAND! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You’re turning 21 now, I feel like your little baby cousin lol! I’m sad I can’t be there on your birthday, so I’ll just make you happy this way. Bels, you’re one of the best people in the world. You’re spreading your light and happiness around everyone you meet and I’m so proud that I get to call a hardworking, kind, loving, beautiful person like you my cousin!! Everything you do inspires me, not just because you are working your ass off but also because with every step you take you try to help other people and better the world. I wish we could see each other more often, but I know that we are connected by love & family and that’s what matters most. MAKE IT THE BEST DAY EVER !!! I love you, thank you for being you!! 💛👭🌼 @bellahadid

Als Plussize-Model steht Joann zu ihren Kurven und ermutigt auf ihrem Instagram Account auch andere Frauen dazu, sich selbst so zu lieben, wie sie sind. 

 

CELEBRATE THOSE FATROLLS! I know it’s hard to look in the mirror and love the curvier parts of your body, but if you think about, it’s just crazy. Who decided that curves aren’t beautiful? Who decided you can’t loveeeee your stretchmarks, fatrolls and big legs? SO I’LL MAKE MY OWN DECISION!!! I’m gonna try and compliment myself on each part of my body ever day, you all should try it. Fatrolls? More like protecting skin. Big ass? More like shaking booty 💃🏼 Too much fat on your legs? More like a mermaidtail! Stretchmarks? TIGERSTRIPES!!! When you feel good, healthy and happy, why does it matter what other people think or look like? The only person who can make you love your body is YOU. So try and see things positive instead of negative, it makes a big difference already. A person is most beautiful when they fully accept and love themselves ❤️🦋 #LoveYourBody #EmbraceYourCurves #MyJourney 📸 by @rachelkeijzerphotography
