Suit Urself: Are we leaving men out?
We’ve been having a great time doing the Suit Urself Swimsuit Challenge this summer! It’s a great time for women to start accepting themselves in general…with so many body-positive movements and powerful women speaking out against the media and championing the individual woman’s right to love whatever body she has.

Amy Barbera: My Anorexia Journey and Recovery
Beutiful, from its humble beginnings 4 years ago, has brought me in contact with more wonderful people than I could have ever imagined. Through incredible timing and fate, the Beutiful twitter connected me with Amy Barbera, an inspirational singer/songwriter from Florida (check out her music here!). I’ve said it on twitter and I’ll say it again…the best word to describe my reaction to Amy, her music and her words is IMPRESSED.
