Today, on my 32nd birthday I feel more confident than ever. I never understood why people were so afraid of getting older. Age is an opportunity to evolve and become better! I’m so proud of one of my favorite brands @ThirdLove who are launching 24 new sizes today. What I love is that they believe your size is your size and while I have no issue with being called plus size, this is a step in the right direction. No better birthday gift than to see brands like @ThirdLove innovate and create for all shapes and sizes. #myshapemysize #thisismysize #nowrongway

If the Instagram bikini pics of the summer have proved anything it’s that vertical stripes are totally in. The next time you head to the beach, avoid any instincts you might have to buckle under societal pressure and go full on with your display with a high slit or thong bikini bottom. TRUST you will not regret your choice. Do it for the gram!

A wise man once said, “show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch mark” and Latinas of Instagram are on it, so get to get!
