Google says that confidence is the state of feeling certainabout the truth of something. It also defines confidence as a feeling ofself-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities orqualities.

1.    PUT SOME RESPECT ON YOUR NAME. My confidencecomes from a thorough understanding that I’m an inherently brilliant,beautiful, loving human being that is entitled to all the best things that thislife has to offer. I don’t need to change in order to be worthy of love frommyself or anybody else.

2.    CUT THE BULLSHIT. You know how some people don’teat gluten because they’re allergic to it? That’s how you have to be withfatphobia. I don’t fuck with people who are fatphobic. I don’t watch thingsthat are fatphobic. I don’t say fatphobic things to myself about myself oranybody else. DO NOT CONSUME. Trace amounts of poison will still eventually poisonand kill you.

3.    TURN YOUR FAT BITCHES UP. Fatphobia iseverywhere though so to drown out the bullshit hella saturate your life with fatfolks living their lives and spreading positivity and laughter. This willslowly reprogram you to see beauty in fat bodies. Sometimes we have to see thatin others before we can see it in ourselves. But don’t just sit there. Showthem love and affirm fat bodies. Put that energy out in the world and watch itcome back to you again and again.

4.    SELF-IMAGE vs. SELF ESTEEM. Regardless of whereyou are at in your journey of loving and accepting your body remember that youare more than what you see in the mirror. The work you do in this world, theway you love others, your dreams, creativity and survival all have value.Celebrate your wins and keep exploring and challenging yourself to live yourbest life.

5.    LOVE AS A RITUAL. Before I fully realized that mybody was worthy of love I practiced treating my body with care. What does thatmean? I started by just putting on a pair of earrings every day that I felt myworst. Just a reminder that my body deserved to be adorned. Then I began toexplore what feels good to my body. Pedicures, baths, skin care, pepperminttea, crunching ice, sitting by the ocean… religiously do what feels good toyour body with the intent of pleasing yourself. This communicates somethingvery important to your body on multiple levels.

6.    IT’S A LIFESTYLE NOT A DESTINATION. It’s notlike going from point A to point B. It’s more of a process of waking up to yourbeauty and happiness and slowly getting rid of the things that no longer serveyour best interest. Remember there will be bumps in the road along the way butbe patient with yourself as you identify your triggers and healthy copingskills.

Also, one (disappointing) condition of note is that this sale doesn’t apply to The Ordinary items. Therefore, though I recommend the products, they will not be on this list.

I’m just going to go by product category and make a few recommendations for each. Sephora is a huge website, so this will be by no means an exhaustive list of my recommendations. If a product is currently sold out, I didn’t include it. (and it’s killing me that the Drunk Elephant sunscreens are sold out already cause I was planning to pick those up!)
