Hey Nike, 

Your shoes are super cool and make me feel like a rockstar. Consider this post my official request to model your shoes.

Okay, now for what I actually have to share with you lovely people today. I haven't really talked about modeling here on the blog. It is something I kind of fell into. I always knew I wanted to act, and when I got my first agent at age nine, I was signed for both modeling and acting. I started working a lot; shooting at fun locations, getting dressed up, making friends, and having PURE FUN. As a little kid, my experience with modeling was nothing but confidence boosting! 

As a junior higher, I was basically a 5'7'' string bean, and I started to feel this shift from lifestyle ads to more high fashion stuff. I remember being at a casting when I was fourteen and being told that I needed to "stretch out." That was code for grow an inch and lose ten pounds. Doing that wasn't even a question in my mind. My mom and I walked out of the casting and she took me to go get french fries. Thankfully, I have an incredible, encouraging support system of my agents, family, and friends. After that experience, I fully embraced that God gave me a round face and real, actual hips. But I definitely became aware of my own insecurities. Modeling as a teen made me actively choose to feel confident. 

This shoot is one that I feel totally, completely, and wholly amazing in. Nike heels and a workout romper definitely aren't my usual fashion choices, but boy do I feel radiant and joyful and confident. Confidence is weird. I feel like the word is thrown around like the key ingredient to happiness and success. Yet when we post a selfie online or talk positively about our looks, we are negatively labeled as conceited. Well I am here to say, post that selfie! Wear clothes that make you feel like a rockstar. And talk about your beauty. Because you are so beautiful, on the inside and out. Have a spectacular, happy, and confident day!
