This race to beauty and collecting stuff into our homes and closets is getting quite ridiculous. I am working on something that has been pushing me into this search and I that I will share soon, but for now I would like to talk about this and ask you to join forces with me and try out something new to make us aware of how much this situation is getting out of control.

 It is so easy to get influenced and lose a clear vision of what is real. Make up, photo shop, fake lips, fake breasts and even fake asses are the norm and motherhood seems to be moving away from its original values and traditions. Getting back into shape after giving birth has become more important than staying home, resting and bonding with your own child. This insane pressure of looking good all the time is becoming a sad standard, and I see women criticize each other instead of holding hands. I am missing the connection and the true feeling of #sisterhood.

I see  women of any age posting photos of themselves on social media that look so far from their reality and the face they have when they wake up in the morning. Of course we all prefer to post a photo of the better version of ourselves, but changing it into another person is just not ok. We are totally destroying our own self-esteem when we try to collect likes with something that is not even real. 

I am in many ways relieved that I am not raising a girl in times like these, but it is my dream to become a mother of a girl one day, and this is why I would like to be a part of saying NO to this bullshit. We don’t need all these revealing, sexed up clothes to get attention. We need a good functioning healthy brain and a true heart to make sense out of life. Because if we don’t take more care of this we will all end up extremely lonely and unbalances, with an insane obsession with things that don’t even matter at all. I know this is a theme that many other people around the world have been speaking out about and that makes me happy because I know I am not alone in hoping to make things better. I am just becoming a bit afraid and sad to see where humanity seems to be going as I am not seeing the change, so I have decided to do something about it in myself, and hope to create a ripple effect, as I am sure this is haunting many of us somehow and sometimes without even realizing it.  It’s easy to fall victim of this constant social media sharing! I sometimes realize that I am taking a photo of a sunset instead of enjoying it with myself and connecting to how I feel watching it, or enjoying it with my family. 

I grew up watching women in Iceland dressed so differently on television than in many other parts of the world. They where for sure all very beautiful but never half naked. They just simply said no. What I wish to see is strong, powerful, clever women speaking out loud and being a good example to our young girls. But what I am sadly seeing all over the world including Iceland is young girls posting photos of themselves with tiny tiny waist lines, unreal eyebrows, unreal hair color and unreal breasts, all posing in the same way and it has gotten so far out of control that yoga influencers who are supposed to be using their accounts to get people to do their yoga, care for their wellbeing and meditate have now stared doing their yoga routines on their underwear just to catch people’s attention!  You know what, I am tired of this! I am tired of people trying to be perfect and sharing only perfect things… and that includes myself.
