Girl Talk: Stop Comparing Yourself to Unrealistic Beauty Standards.

We just want all of our besties to see this video and take into account that 90% of the beauty standards and images you see that is pushed by the media isn’t real.

And this is with no shade: Jodie Joe, the face of fashion nova, has had surgery and it’s still photoshopped, altered and edited in realtime to make her look a certain way.

Stop comparing.

Stop consuming.

Stop trying to fit the mold when you were designed to break it.

Choose health and fitness over aesthetics. Prioritize your well-being, focusing on nourishing your body, staying active, and reprogram your mind to have a positive mindset.

Why?

Because true beauty radiates from within, and when you feel strong and healthy, it reflects in your confidence and energy.

Set realistic goals, celebrate your progress, and surround yourself with supportive communities that uplift and motivate you.

💌 A love letter to my BFS Ladies:

Here at BFS, while we adore sharing moodboards and celebrating outer beauty and fashion, we want to remind you that your journey in femininity and healed womanhood is about so much more. The true goal is healing, inner confidence and growth. Becoming the woman you aspire to be should transcend your outward appearance.

This journey is a mindset and a lifestyle that not only embodies the essence of a soft life but also breaks generational curses and defies stereotypes often placed upon Black women. It’s about nurturing yourself and starting a journey of self-discovery.

Your God-given superpower as a woman lies in this transformative work. Don’t just look the part—embrace the full, life-changing experience. Don’t cheat yourself from the profound growth and healing and real purpose that awaits you.

With love and inspiration,

The BFS Team 💋

I want a love without any doubt. I wanna be able to say, I love this person without ever thinking I might be looking stupid for saying that. I wanna look into your eyes and see the multiple universes where you and I always align. I wanna love myself through you. I want the relationship to be so pure, so fun, so youthful, but at the same time so mature. Every time I hold your hand I wanna feel like I’m being electrocuted. And every time we kiss I wanna feel like we’re the reason why this world stops revolving. I wanna spend hours in bed just talking and laughing, never sleeping, and then just deciding, “hey let’s go chase the sunrise real quick.” I wanna make love to you mentally, I wanna caress you with my poetry. I want love to feel like the first time again. And when we’re apart I wanna miss you missing me missing you. I want the butterflies in my stomach to evolve into moths. I want real. I want our connection to transcend the physical and dive into the depths of our souls. I want our love to be a masterpiece painted with the strokes of our passion and understanding. I want our love to be an eternal flame, illuminating the darkest corners of our lives.

To my nieces & nephews:

Stop sitting on skills and talents that can change your entire life. Get to fkn work. Do it scared if you have to.

There's a market for everything. Find your tribe.

Miss Sade Adu

[minimalist-quotes]

She's a balance of strength and femininity. She's a blend of silly and serious. She's a dreamer with her feet still on the ground. The kind of person that can find the suns rays in a rainstorm. She is a once in a lifetime woman.

The thing about being the dream girl or angel is that everybody dreams of you but you’re never real. You’re forever an ideal, otherworldly.

When you show that you are human as well and not just a dream you are no longer the dream. You are just another human.

You let them down.

How do you deal with that?

It’s empowering yet somber..it’s bittersweet.

You’re judged as weird and made fun of yet people desire to exist at the frequency you do. This is not something that is to boast about because personally..it’s lonely. When what you crave and desire comes from a different source, the admiration and interest or fascination from others means nothing.

“All that glitters isn’t gold” understand that.

You are your own muse. The life force comes from you and people come to you for it. Literally.

What do you do with that?

Understand yourself more.
