Canadian here near PV. Watch your narrative …. And watch your sources not everything the American media is TRUE 👀

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

@Redjojo55555 @dswslc @CrimewatchTO Completely incorrect

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

@tdan25222 @CrimewatchTO They’re not after Canadians here… watch the narrative

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

@NovaScotianFTP @CrimewatchTO No you wouldn’t 😂

"If your goal is to help women feel more confident and engage more meaningfully with the world, telling them they are beautiful it’s not the way to do it."

✨ enter beauty industry.
Selling us the idea (or feeling) that with something like a simple eye cream, we can look "fake awake" to look the part rather than encouraging what it is we really might need... like "to rest" more instead of always being what is considered productive

The gig is up - beauty can't get away without the deeper understanding and questions of WHY something exists such as an idealization or product anymore (and what even for?! or who we should say...)

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

I can’t stop thinking about how the idea of this trending “no makeup makeup look” actually requires numerous products layered atop of one another 🤔 apparently to look “naturally” beautiful requires the help of “natural” makeup techniques now... creativity or conformity?

"...Because, for a woman, it's hard to ignore the power and magnitude her body has - that she has. Because her story is every woman's story. And despite it all, I don't know any woman who isn't worthy of her strength, courage, and imagination.

Don't Be Beautiful. 📝
You keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be.
But honestly! Forget that. Don't be beautiful.
Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be talented -
There are an eternity of other things
to be other than beautiful.

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

Can you think of people who don't fit all of the beauty ideals or come anywhere close to them and are still successful, in loving relationships, respected, strong, confident, happy, healthy or otherwise admirable to you?

✍🏼 🌷 The Art of Being Female 🦋

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

Do you like to dance? Then put on ONE song and let go
Do you like to read? Put an alarm on your phone for 10 minutes for a mental break
Do you like nature? go outside and ground with a meditation or walk or sun soak.
Do you like food? Get a healthy snack and eat it mindfully.

🌟 NEW EPISODE🌟 🎧 5 min Reminder to Stop Comparing Yourself.
Comparison truly does rob oneself of Joy itself and it's easy to slip into a spiral of it.
Stop being so hard on yourself, you are doing a great job at being YOU! There is no manual for that, other than the body 😉

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

You're doing an amazing job at being you 😘

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

You Are Perfect.

[Danielle Schleese @agirlshouldbe]

Sure, it's easy to show up and act as we 'should' be. But the real tricky part... is acting and embodying who we truly are.
