Read MoreI live on an Island for goodness sake, it seems like there are confident "summer ready" girls around every corner- I'm forced to face the way I truly feel about myself haha! (even if you don't live on an Island, I know you feel me). And really? I can look really pretty to someone else- I can even be told over & over that I am cute and should be confident with my body in the Summer Time.

Read MoreHOW MANY stories have we all heard about stressed out Brides?! You know, "those" women. Clearly not us. I mean "we will NOT GET stressed!!" right?

Read More"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" "Oh, you're still single?" "So, tell me again how your dreams and degree are going to get you an actual career?"
