***I really felt compelled to re-blog this one, especially as now there is a video of me interviewing the lovely Rebecca***

A young girl shoved a pink booklet into my hand one day. Usually I just say 'no thanks', but this one caught my eye, for obvious reasons.Rebecca Barnett is an illustration student and is the creator of this rather lovely illustrated book. 'Your Body is BEAUTIFUL' is kind of like a self help mantra-cum-art book all about your body and how you should love it.The little drawings drew me in, and the messages that accompany them are just so spot on, especially in this day and age where celebrities are getting thinner and models are barely there and it's all shoved in our faces everyday through print and online media. I think the point that Rebecca is trying to put forward is that no matter what size you are, or what your body looks like, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.Trust me, coming from someone who has body issues, this is not some cheesy, cringe America's Next Top Model, LOVE YOURSELF shout out. It's real.Enjoy!
