How Do You Talk to Yourself?

Hello, Beautiful! So, how do you talk to yourself? It matters. A lot. Our self-talk--the way we talk to ourselves, about ourselves--has a massive effect on our body image and sense of self-worth. What Are You Saying About Yourself? Many of us have a seemingly endless amount of internal chatter going on about ourselves. Sadly, it's not always loving or even positive. Sometimes, perhaps even often, the things we tell ourselves are negative and cruel. When you talk to yourself, does it sound like: I can't believe you forgot to pick up milk. You're such an idiot! You are too fat to wear that bikini. You'll never get that promotion because you just aren't good enough. The tone of your self-talk can have a massive impact on your body image and sense of self-worth. Even self-deprecating comments in the name of humor can lower your self-esteem. Try a Little Kindness If you want to feel better about your body, if you want to feel more empowered, if you want to feel more confident … try monitoring your self-talk! For example, instead of telling yourself, “I can’t believe you made that mistake. You’re an idiot,” try this: “You made a mistake, [...]

This stunner has been in front of the camera twice now, and she highly recommends that every woman have this uplifting and empowering experience at least once in her life. We agree!

Despite her nervousness, Dawn eventually relaxed and started loving the experience. Dawn quickly discovered she had no reason to be scared. The Second Boudoir Photoshoot Dawn's first boudoir session went so well, she decided she wanted to do another one. Why a second time?

The Bombshells Hang Out!

It all started eight years ago, when professional photographer Daysy started thinking beyond weddings and family events. She had always been a passionate advocate for raising women's self confidence and esteem. As a photographer, Daysy had witnessed too many women who were unhappy with the way they looked and felt about themselves. She wanted to do something to help them love themselves, but what? Daysy tried all sorts of different types photography, including glamour shots and boudoir. Daysy wanted to practice more boudoir photography, but where could she find a woman willing to be her guinea pig? The answer was Kelly, who was a friend of a friend and willing to do all the poses and sessions Daysy needed to hone her craft. During this intense experience, Daysy fell in love with Boudoir photography, and she and Kelly became close friends. Years later, when Kelly struggled with feelings of anxiety and low self-confidence, she turned to her friend Daysy for another boudoir photo shoot. Once again, Kelly fell in love with the photos and was able to see for herself how truly gorgeous she is. Daysy was excited to offer her services to other women, so she started the VIP [...]

Meet Boudoir Bombshell Susan! “BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL” SERIES

We are so excited to welcome hottie Susan to the elite Boudoir Bombshell Club! Susan isn't new to glamour photoshoots--in fact, she had a "somewhat" boudoir-style photo session when she was in her twenties. Susan ran across those photos recently and laughed at her "big 80's hair." Another difference between her early experience and the photoshoot with Daysy? That first shoot was "definitely not as risque" as her shoot with Daysy. Ooh-lah-lah! Susan confessed that she had been feeling down about her menopausal body and was looking for something she could do to feel excited about again. Another reason was as a gift to her husband. But the coolest reason, for Susan? "My mom, who passed away in a car accident in 1999, had done a boudoir shoot when she was about the same age as me." How awesome is that, to have side-by-side boudoir photos? Susan loves the similarity of her headshots and those of her mom. Let's talk about the shoot. How was your experience? At first, Susan was definitely nervous about being scantily clad in front of someone other than her husband! Daysy quickly put her at ease, however, and soon Susan forgot about being nervous and [...]
