4.8 ‘Count to ten, take it in’ (the post-birthday post)
And when you’re fifteen feeling like there’s nothing to figure out / Count to ten, take it in, this is life before you know who you’re gonna be / At fifteen. Taylor Swift, “Fearless” God, do you guys remember T-Swift’s “Fearless” era? When pretty much every song on that album was a banger?! I’m being…

4.7 The old college try
Today I want to touch on a topic that hits really close to home for me: college weight gain, and the stigma around talking about it. Well, we’re talking about it today, so buckle in. Before high school graduates even set foot on a college campus, they’re bombarded with warnings about the “freshman 15.” Think…

4.6 Blogtober, baby
I’m taking a quick break from our regularly-scheduled, wellness/body acceptance/self-confidence programming to do a fall-themed blog post. I know. I don’t usually do posts like this, but versatility is key, right? “Mind. Beauty. Simplicity.” created a post a few days ago with some cute, fall-related questions for bloggers to answer, and hey! Wouldn’t you know…

4.5 ‘Thinfluencer’? I hardly even know her!
Ah, that joke never gets old. First of all, let me just reveal two Truths that I know exist out here in the Body Acceptance Realm. Truth 1: Everyone, no matter their gender, size, body type, race, ethnicity, height, etc. deserves to love and feel comfortable and secure in their body. Truth 2: Everyone, no…

4.3 Go for a swim
Yes, I know it’s been a little while since I posted, but HERE I AM! BACK IN THE GAME! I KNOW YOU MISSED ME! This won’t be a super-long post, but I definitely want to celebrate and talk about small victories. I want to talk about Miami Swim Week. It made me emotional as I…

4.2 Coming to Terms: Body checking
Here’s the thing: I like to talk. I like to talk about my experiences and share what goes through my mind and open up the discussion, because if I’m feeling a certain way, then someone else is, too. So I want to start another little series for my blog that I can publish periodically that…

4.1 Hot Girl Summer, anyone?
I think it’s time for some classic Emma June wisdom. The weather is heating up, right? We’re starting to sweat? We’re starting to realize that wearing sunscreen is a necessity? That means it’s nearly time for… Summer attire. Swimsuits. Shorts. Tank tops. The works. I feel like I talk about the whole swimsuit-season thing a…

3.20 Gotta have faith
It’s been kind of a weird time for me over the last few weeks, if I’m being completely honest. I won’t go into the nitty-gritty details (cue general disappointment from the audience), mainly because it would take too long, but there are a lot of things I’m thinking about right now and trying to come…

3.19 Getting skin deep
(Is this Emma, popping in with a new blog post and no clear, regular posting schedule? Yes, yes it is. I’m hopeful that I can tighten that up, but in the meantime, thanks for your patience.) I want to share with you a story of a girl who has done something bold. Groundbreaking. More unprecedented…
