Hey everyone!

So as much as I try to blog frequently I feel like people don't really know much about me so I thought I would do the 25 questions tag just so I could tell you a little bit more about myself...

What is your middle name? Katherine. When i was born, the women next to my mum had her baby just before and she called her daughter Katherine Emma so I got called Emma Katherine....I want to find out who she is because we basically share our names!

What as your favourite subject at school? English 100%. I've always loved writing and as much as I love art, art at school is not fun at all!

What is your favourite drink? Iced Tea...or any tea drink!

What is your favourite song at the moment? Growing Pains//Neck Deep. I've always been a massive fan of Neck Deep but I recently listened to this song on repeat and I love the lyrics. It would be a dream to have someone sing it to me...that would be the cutest thing ever.

What is your favourite food? Vegan mac no cheese.

What is the last thing you bought? A bonsai tree (it's over on my instagram)

Have you ever been out of the country, if so how many times? I have been for various holidays but I have no idea how many times..not many though.

How many siblings do you have? Yep, one brother called Dan.

What is your favourite shop? I don't have any specific shop so anyone I can buy flannels, band merch or streetwear like Vans basically.

In today's world people look past what healthy truly is and judge others and themselves on what they see instead. People seem to neglect the idea that different body types and metabolisms exist and they feel free to fat shame or skinny shame anyone who they personally don't consider as healthy.

Rebecca Marie, a fabulous blogger, has started a body image tag to "shift the minds of campaigners who discriminate size whilst supporting another." (link here) I've been tagged to help promote this tag and the idea that body shaming should not exist and we shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable in our own healthy skin.

Questions (and my answers):

1. What does a positive body image mean to you? a positive body image to me means being comfortable in your own skin and not worrying what other people think because you look and feel amazing!

2.How do you look after your body? I eat a healthy diet (i'm vegan which is really helpful), I drink plenty of water and try and do regular exercise even if it's just a small workout.

3. What are the bare essentials that you need to feel happy and healthy in your body? I think the bare essentials are a positive but sensible mindset.

4. How do you celebrate your body? If you don't, how could you? Look in the mirror and point out everything good about yourself and eventually you'll start ignoring all the little flaws you point out about yourself daily and start to love your body.

5. What helps you feel comfortable in your own skin? Like everyone, trust me everyone, I don't always feel comfortable in my own skin but not comparing myself to anyone else is always a help. As long as you know you are maintaining a healthy body you should feel comfortable 100%.

6. Share a body image story or experience that is important to you. I have known many people over the years who have suffered from various cases of mental and eating disorders a lot of which have stemmed from negative body images. I have experienced people pushing themselves to the limit and in unhealthy ways to reach a goal or look that is not physically or mentally healthy for them. Witnessing this and knowing the effects has really made promoting a healthy body image important to me, to try and reduce the amount of cases we unfortunately see today.

7. Finally, share a picture of you looking happy and healthy!

I'm more confident than I have been before.

What you have to do is:

1. Tag 10 people and link them Rebecca's post and the questions
2. Answer the questions in a blog post and share!!!

Comment what you think about body image and answer some of the questions yourself!
