Thank you so much, Garth! ❤

Thank you so much for the great feedback, beautiful!! I'm abundantly grateful to hear that!!♡

Thank you so much, beautiful!!♡

You're so welcome, gorgeous! I'm very grateful for your kind words!! Practice this method and you'll be un-muck-with-able for sure!!

Thank you so much, Matthew! And it's absolutely so true!! See ya 🙌

You've never heard of the fundamental business model in the fashion industry?

Jealous much?

I know what you're referring to, love. It's not boiling hot water so the lower temp and the barrier of the bag prevents the thermal expansion.

I'm aware and addressed it, thank you. It's not boiling hot water so the lower temp and the barrier of the bag prevents the thermal expansion.

That's so beautiful Garth, and I'm so grateful for your practice most of all. You never know how one small effort or gratitude will change the world and spark a powerful global movement ✨️ 💖✨️

Lol I haven't tried that method yet, have you??

Good to know, I haven't tried that yet. Thanks

Never heard of thermal expansion before?

Lol thanks for the share. The time it takes to boil water is more excessive than taking about 4 steps, silly. ♡ The extreme change from boiling water directly on a frozen windshield can lead to cracking the glass etc. I'm grateful you haven't had that issue yet.

I'm sorry to hear that

@SharonGriffin-Rogers868 That's so beautiful, and well said, love!! There's always light.. we just get so focused on the darkness of the experience and turn our focus away from it. It starts with a simple choice to turn it back.✨️♡✨️

@Zakiyyah I absolutely agree, beautiful!! It's truly the key to life ✨️🔑✨️

Platine, first, I am very grateful for your well-founded comfort and vulnerability with me. I'm sorry you experienced that challenging upbringing and that it still impacts you to this day. That being said, I'm SO grateful that you know your worth and actively put that effort in to overcome these difficult impacts. Don't overlook the underlying message there in your self-love serving energy. It's important to acknowledge things like that that contribute to your self-worth growth and I'm VERY proud of you, love!!! The short answer is that you will be a huge advocate and mentor to others one day. *** We all are here for a reason, and the challenges along the way don't keep us FROM it, but help shape us FOR it. I've had students with VERY VERY unimaginably traumatizing lives who have as much passion in their voice about overcoming as I do. That's how I know we're built to be able to overcome the challenges put before us... some journeys call on the need to evoke greater strength.. but it's worth it. And WHEN you overcome it, which you will my love, you'll be amazingly proud of your perseverance and passionately help others tap into theirs. You'll be a great inspiration to others. Join me. <3

I'm very grateful to hear that, Platine! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏🏼 Be a Model CityZen and continue growing by sharing this vid with others you know can benefit from this message ♡

@@ModelCityZen, You are most welcome. Keep up the good work, and may God reward you for your efforts.

Exactly! Lol The bigger, the more "extravegant". Are you in the fashion industry, love?♡

Thanks for the comment, love. I agree that smaller builds make details seem larger and vice versa. However, you're more referring to print vs. runway or fashion design in general. Details are very important for promo capture. When I modeled luxury jewelry on national TV, lighter skinned models were preferred simply due to the stone's color/clarity/cut could be seen better under the lights to demonstrate the featured of the product for purchase. My vid is definitely the case in the runway. I've been included and excluded from projects for the reasons outlined, I'm too small for some collections. As far as design in general, if you look on Torrid's site (a brand designed around plus size women) or most denim retail sections for that matter, you'll find the button size, anchors, etc are the same.. sometimes a second button is just added for a longer waistband. And yes, you'll have some designers with styles that vary by size as well, but it's not a required standard.♡ And I have some beautiful pics from Torrid's brand to demonstrate confidence at all shapes/sizes w/ crops that have great clear division between tops and bottoms.♡

That's not a fact, my love. It's a preference. I'm tall, skinny, and "mini thick," yet there are plenty of guys that prefer women not towering over them or like them thick. THAT'S a fact. Speaking from experience, I've not been everyones cup of tea.♡ Even my bf at the time loved my look, but when I'd wear heels and be taller than him, he'd subconsciously walk faster than me in public so we weren't side by side. 🤣 What you're seeing that's attractive is HEALTH. Healthy looks good on all frames.

You realize there are more sizes than just tall/skinny and short/fat, right?

Yes, 💯 %

What a wonderful share, Annie! I'm so grateful this method really resonates with you. These 5 approaches to elevating your energy have been life changers for me in my journey, and I know they will be for you too!

Thanks, V! Yeah, lead by example is what I do. Be a Model CityZen and teach others how to do the same. ♡

😂 Thanks, girl!♡

Yassss, love!! Let's help people not be shy to bring out their beautifully unique spirits!!!

Yupp, thanks!

Yaaasss, Dana! How boring the world would be if we were all the same like paper dolls. Lean into the opposite and express your authentic uniqueness ♡

Thanks, 🌈 Rainbow! 🌞

I'm grateful

✨️💛💛💛✨️ I love you too, WYM!!!

🤣♡🙃

Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. What an awesome model you are to the concept. I'm so grateful for your contribution and am sure it will inspire others!! Thank you, Annie!

It's the concept of "While you complain about shoes, there are people with no feet." Be grateful for what you do have, and you'll live in and attract abundance.

@@ModelCityZen exactly!❤️

So grateful to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing

I'm sure you're a beautiful person - I hope you know it!!!

Yeah self love is a two part process. There's the inner work of loving who you uniquely are and the life you've been given. and then there's treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated to maximize your quality of life (eating healthy, active lifestyle, etc). Thanks for this!

Exactly! I was always hated for being tall and skinny. I hated all of the mean, fat people who bullied me relentlessly. They were cruel and evil. They made me feel terrible about myself for being naturally tall and thin. So much so that I never got into modeling the way I wanted to. Now I am 46 years old and am too old to do any modeling even though I look much younger.

@@shawnaaustin3396 It must have been hard. The hate comes from jealous usually. They are uneilling to work hard to be healthy so they love to bully those who are naturally healthy. I don't like the current trend in society to accept the lazy unhealthy figure and look down on beautiful thin figures.

@shawnaaustin3396 I know what you mean.. we as human beings tend to do 2 things that steer us down the wrong path, especially when combined. We put our own insecurities under a microscope, and we tend to project out into the world the way our minds work as a means to analyze what we're experiencing. The result of that is that people who don't have a sturdy foundation of authentic self love tend to experience a discomfort when they acknowledge others who have what they struggle for. It's difficult in the moment, but understanding the heat that feels personal TO us isn't actually ABOUT us. Also, I'm very grateful to let you know that if you're still interested in modeling, you're not necessarily too late due to your age. High fashion modeling is only 10% of the industry and the only kind that has number limitations (size, height, age). You can still do plenty of other modeling types like lifestyle, commercial, parts, character, extras, etc. ♡

@Los-pf3bi thank you for your comforting words, love! You're exactly right.. it does typically come from a place of jealousy (see above explanation). When unchecked, it leads us further down the road to insecurities, so it's very important to be mindful and immediately correct it with authentic gratitude. The current trend is intended to come from a place of loving more body types than just tall and skinny.. I agree tho that it's going about it wrong in some instances. All body types, or Somatotypes, are beautiful... ectomorphs, mesomorphs, and endomorphs. But what should be highlighted is treating them with love and respect as we all deserve to be treated and modeling the HEALTHY form of each.

Lol thanks for the comment. This isn't heaven's gates where all you need is Jesus. I know plenty of devout followers of Jesus that still don't have the self-love and confidence of walking down the runway as I'm explaining.

@@ModelCityZenvery true! But what if a woman is beautiful and perfect size for runway modeling, yet is on the spectrum and shy? That was my issue when I was younger. Everyone told me to smile all the time, yet for the runway and high fashion there is little to no smiling 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shawnaaustin3396 hi gorgeous! Thank you so much for your question! The first step is knowing (🧠) and understanding (💖) that you were made divinely and with perfect intention. Embrace that with self-love and gratitude. Then research areas of interest to you (like runway or ANY area of life), get expert advice etc, and practice practice practice. When you feel comfortable giving it a try, do your best and SOLELY appreciate the experience because growth comes from it either way. From every experience, congratulate yourself for putting yourself out there, inquire where you can improve, acknowledge the wins, and don't look back with regret/insecurities. There will always be another opportunity. Even pros like myself don't get selected everytime. Somwtimes theres just a certain vision or vibe theyre going for. Don't ever feel like you're not good enough because the "catwalks" of life that are meant for you will open up when the time is right. TRULY. Keep pushing forward with confidence so as to not diminish it when you come knocking on the doors that are meant for you, beautiful. Does that help?♡

Thank you so much, beautiful!! I really appreciate your contribution to uplift peoples spirits in this fight for self love ❤️🎶

Yes, Annie! It's easy to immediately react to things that happen in life, and this can be an easy slip and slide to feeling down at times. A hit to our confidence in one area can greatly impact it in another. Recreating that list each time, exploring our brain for all our value, helps return to a greater place of strength and stability ♡

I love this, Elizabeth! The fact that you both look so different puts an emphasis on your mutual appreciation of the things that make us distinct and not average. 🙌

Exactly, V. There's a lot going on behind the scenes, and often, it's a reflection of other people and not us. Using others to validate ourselves misplaces that reflection and can be damaging if not just misdirected.

@@ModelCityZen M/C. Thanks also to 'Gabriel' from "Swordfish" the movie - misdirection, is very cool ! ! How do we evaluate gut feelings or interpret the positives instead of the negatives in our own lane of life ? V.

Thank you so much for your comment, beautiful! No matter where on the range of body image the message applies and I'm so grateful that you embrace the beautiful curves your build was intended to have. Also, there's always someone who would be wanting to trade for the flaws we have and would see your "wings" as angelic treasure for them. ♡ So glad you appreciate your gifts.

Hey Vincent! You're absolutely right.. when we see ourselves for the unique strengths that we ARE then all other voices become quieter. And yes, my free Stylize Your Unique Shape masterclass is guaranteed to boost self love, confidence, and your unique style in any environment/size/mood etc! Click the link and check it out!♡

Hi V, thanks for reaching out. You're misunderstanding my service, target market, and their needs. And confidence is a sliding scale, love. A devastating blow to your confidence in one area of life can negatively impact it in all others.

Thank you so much gorgeous!!! We all have the same potential to stand in our purpose and shine. So beautiful to see you living in yours as well!! ♡
