Thoughts on Emma Watson's UN Speech #HeForShe

Emma Watson... cute and smart and Hermione Granger, right? 

...but truly, she is beautiful, and absolutely BRILLIANT, and absolutely deserving of being U.N. Women's Goodwill Ambassador. I was blown away by her speech.

I LOVE how she defines and describes feminism.

Ultimately, this blog is about becoming the most true version of yourself. It's been about me becoming the most true version of myself. When I first came up with the idea for this blog, I knew I wanted it to be a beauty and fitness blog. But all of the advice for new bloggers was to focus on a singular topic. And while that is good advice for writing, I couldn't make myself one-dimensional. I HAD to just embrace the fact that the things I wanted to blog about didn't seem to go together, and that "normal people" might not read it because of that. Five years later, I love the people I've met because of my blog and feeling validated that it's okay to be serious about fitness but also to love makeup.  

"Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong."
