6 Ways To Improve Your Body Confidence

Three years ago, if you'd asked me what I might want to change about myself, I would have been able to give you a whole list. Height, weight, body shape, hair colour, laugh, scars, facial structure. You name it, I was unhappy with everything in some way. If you ask me that same question now,...

I've been hearing the term 'self care' thrown around a lot lately, for while not actually knowing what it means.
