elaine - LOVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN

I'm on a mission to show the world that women are beautiful and powerful at every size, shape, age, and color. Every woman is beautiful and it's my goal to show you your own magnificence so you can change the way you see yourself and move towards full acceptance and love for your body and self.

Elaine, along with a number of other women, joined me in my Love The Skin You’re In movement and answered the questionnaire below to help them tap into their own unique truths about beauty, self-image and self-love.

What is your definition of beauty?

*Being in the best shape regardless of children or age.

What do you remember learning about beauty from a young age? What impacted you the most that you’ve carried with you into adulthood (positive or negative)?

*Taking care of yourself equals feeling beautiful.

Do you think you’re beautiful?

*I'm smokin'!

Tell me your story! What life experiences have made you who you are today?

*Ooh well doll..keys sum it up.. I have always beaten to a different drum, I'm tenacious, I work 7 days a week and I have 3 daughters and a stay at home husband. I'm a dog groomer, been working on my career for 15 yrs. I see 210 dogs a month.

What is your favorite NON physical feature about yourself? (After all, beauty is a light in the heart!)

*My lack of "give a fuck" - I can dance in my car and I don't care who sees me!

What words of wisdom, based on your personal experience, would you like to share with others who struggle to see their own beauty?

*Conditioning yourself isn't for a small part of your life, it's for the rest of your life.

Why are beautiful photos important for you right now?

*I have 3 kids and I'm a size 8 at 41..it shows that having babies doesn't mean u can't be smoking.

How does being the woman you are today make you uniquely powerful?

*That's easy. I'm 5'11, 163# after 3 kids and the I'm buff (bench about 120#)!
