I have a ton of guy friends who talk to me about their bodies, too. But boys are often left out of the body positivity conversation.
I hate workout classes... Every time I go into one, my anxiety is really high. I leave immediately - like, before the warm up!
I never thrived in high school.
'Fat' was a terrible, terrible word for me growing up. When I was able to reclaim it and call myself fat and identify with it, that was the best moment ever. That was the moment I really started to feel free.
I always thought 'plus-size' wasn't a term that was negative - it wasn't something that I felt was something that was making me any different or making me feel like I was lesser than - and I found a community through it.
I think that people put a lot of worth into looks. Unfortunately, there's a standard that so many people look up to that is unrealistic for everyone's body type.
I think representation is the most important thing in the world. People who are young look up to the things that they see in the media. They want to relate and to be able to say, 'Wow, I can be successful.'
Don't be afraid to show off who you are.
I felt the term 'plus size' was inaccurate and kept all these beautiful, stunning women with the widest spectrum of body types I've ever seen - mind you, curvy agencies start at a size 6 and go up to a size 18 - from being seen and resonated with.
I am unapologetically myself, no matter what anyone's opinion is.
People are so influenced by the media that they really believe a 38-24-45 plastic-surgery body is normal, and they can't understand why a body would possibly have cellulite or bumps.
We need to overcome the stereotype that genders aren't fluid.
Every day, I feel different. Sometimes I don't put on any makeup, and other times, I put on a ton.
Hair-wise, the move for me is to not wash it. I try to only wash it when I have to or for a shoot or something.
I have been watching Youtube makeup tutorials since I was born. I did my own prom makeup and used to do peoples' makeup in high school for money.
I was on the cover of French 'Grazia,' which was amazing. It was all over Paris!
My favourite movies are 'Jawbreaker' and 'Heathers.'
Not everyone relates to being a blond girl with blue eyes and is proportioned so she could barely walk if she was a real person.
What the body-positive movement wants is to stop categorizing people, and to let people of all body types be able to do anything, whether they're slightly bigger than the average model or a lot bigger.
I just love to disconnect from everything sometimes.
