20 Quotes That Boost Your 'Damn, I Look Good Naked!' Confidence
You're already perfect ... just as you are.
When was the last time you looked at yourself naked in the mirror and LOVED what you saw?
Every day we're bombarded with images of half-naked models and celebrities on magazine covers, their already beautiful faces and stick-thin bodies airbrushed to remove every "imperfection" — slimmer waist and thighs, no blemishes (or even pores), fuller lips and breasts.
And then there's that crazy "thigh gap".
It's no wonder regular women (and men), like you and me, are so critical of ourselves.
We look in the mirror, comparing, and self love soon turns to self-loathing. How can we live up to such impossible standards?
But, we try. Because who doesn't want to feel beautiful, right?
At first, we just alter the small things—like the style of our hair, the shape of our nose or the freckles on our cheeks; but then, those small changes (which sometimes become big changes) slowly add up to create a completely new person altogether.
After awhile, we don't even recognize the person in the mirror staring back at us (let alone love her).
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to realize that our "imperfections" are the very things that make us beautiful and unique!
Your beauty marks, curves, and blemishes give you character; they make you who you ARE. You don't need blemish-free skin to feel (or look) good naked.
They say "confidence" is the sexiest thing a woman ever wears, and I'm one to agree.
So, don't be afraid of staring back at your beautiful self in the mirror. It's just you, and you are imperfectly perfect.
As Queen Bey says, you "woke up like this." So, OWN it.
On that note, here are some inspirational quotes to help refire your 'I feel so good naked' self love! Trust me, you look FABULOUS!
