In celebration of the start of summer and beautiful, inspiring women everywhere, I want to encourage you to join us in the #RealWomenWrinkle campaign. When we run, jump, dance and cuddle…we wrinkle! But, rarely do we see that on our IG feeds or splashed across the pages of our favorite magazines. Women’s bodies are epic! They keep the human race alive….so let’s put body shaming to rest! Tomorrow, June 1st, join me and my squad in our quest to finding comfort in our own skin, free of photoshop, editing apps or filters! To join, post an UNEDITED image of yourself wearing your wrinkles (face or body) loud and proud. By joining our campaign and using the hashtag #RealWomenWrinkle you will also be entered to win a prize pack brought to you by @Bandierfit, @womenwarriorssv, @verabradley, @solandselene, @iceandjam and @thefiveminutejournal valued at over $500! Check out all of the amazing women already on board below!

So what is the point of the #RealWomenWrinkle campaign?
We all are constantly under a microscope when it comes to navigating the social landscape. The images we see everyday are damn near flawless, and it offers a false sense of reality that can and does lead to low self-esteem. I know I have had many moments throughout my career where I got down on myself, didn’t feel beautiful and compared myself to others, but I also have enough confidence to get over it as quickly as possible; however, there are many others out there who feel ‘less than’ on a regular basis, and I/we should want to change that!
Wrinkles Mean You Have Lived!
I know the immediate thought when we hear the word wrinkles are the crows feet around our eyes and expression lines that pop up and immediately get photoshopped out, but I am also talking about body wrinkles. We are all movers, and when we move we wrinkle! But it is rare to see that in images splashed across magazines and all over social media. So my challenge for all of you is to choose an unedited image that shows you exactly as you are…free of photoshop, editing apps or filters enjoying the way you wrinkle.
It can be shown on your smiling face or contorted in a Yoga pose, but what I really want it to be is organic and simply you! Our goal is to post the photo between June 1-3 using the hashtag #RealWomenWrinkle. I would also love for you to share your story of why the photo makes you happy and how you embrace your ‘wrinkles’. And again by using the hashtag you will be entered to win a prize pack valued at $500!
So if you take away anything from today’s post just remember you are beautiful. You are perfect. & #RealWomenWrinkle.
