Inspiration Wednesday

It's Hump Day! Happy almost National Mean Girls Day! But more importantly it is Inspiration Wednesday...or inspirations. My inspirations today I discovered by accident. I had to have been a sophomore in high school and I wanted to learn how to do makeup. So naturally I went to youtube. I typed in "make up looks" and the amount of results was staggering. But one look caught my eye and I'll include the video here.

I got inspired by her boldness to wear bright colors and wanted to emulate her style so I kept watching and once I made a youtube account I subscribed to her channel. Over the years she not only taught me how to do makeup, but how to be brave enough to stand out in a crowd and to embrace my inner and outer beauty. She has inspired me to think outside the box and to see beauty in a new and creative way.

My second inspiration I discovered through my first inspiration. Actually they're related. My second inspiration is the first girls younger sister and I first saw her sitting as a model for her older sister. Recently I found her youtube channel and I also subscribed to her channel. Her videos are more about style rather than beauty and she has opened up my eyes to a whole new world of fashion that I have fallen in love with, but there was one video that truly inspired me. Again I'll post it here, but it talked about eating disorders and watching it made me cry and made me realize that my body is mine, it's no one else's. The only person who should care about what my body looks like and there is no reason to hurt myself in order to try to have a body that someone else says I should want. 
So who are these girls? On youtube, they go by the names Xsparkage and Chwelsea respectively. In real life they are Leesha (Alicia) and Chelsea and they inspire me to be the most beautiful I can be on the inside and out. If you haven't watched any of their videos I suggest you do, they are two inspiring women who have definitely given me a better outlook on life. 

Keep on the look out for my day two post today and thank you Leesha and Chelsea for being inspirations, thank you thank you thank you.
