Every woman finds herself struggling to love certain parts of herself. We all need to stay on top of our self-love. We can get busy or really down on ourselves and can't seem to find a way to overcome all the negativity in doubt in our own minds. Here are 5 ways that will help you incorporate self-love into your daily life.

Give yourself some Me-time.

We find ourselves getting so busy that we forget to just relax and treat ourselves. Stay in for a night and do a face mask, paint your toes, or watch a move. Me-time also includes cranking up your music and just dancing as crazy as you can. Me time is a way to gain your energy back and find the joy in yourself.

Spend time with people who bring you up.

Sometimes we believe that hanging out with a popular group will make us feel better about yourselves. However, friends are supposed to bring you up, make you feel amazing, important, and accepted. Surrounding yourself with people that you don't feel like you have to constantly compare yourself and that show they love you can make all the difference.

Don't let clothes sizes define you.

Clothes in stores have been proven to no be true to size. When shopping it can be very frustrated constantly having to go up a size and realizing they make clothes any bigger. We define ourselves with our experiences of close and that only causes us to put ourselves down. You wear what makes you feel bold, confident, sexy, and don't listen to what others think.

Compliment yourself.

Everyday you should look in the mirror and give yourself a compliment. You only have to use one and try to compliment different things. Giving yourself a compliment everyday can lead you to focusing on the amazing parts of yourself.

Get out of your comfort zone.

The more things that you try, the more you know you can overcome. For example, you can go out with a new friend, wear something you wouldn't normally wear, or try something new. Doing this will give you a new found confidence and will give off the impression of a women who doesn't let the world tell her "no."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
