Final Project

Hello beautiful reader!
This is my last post for my English class. But, I won't be forgetting this blog. The contrary; I'll be posting new information everytime I have an oportunity. I realy love this topic and I believe in it 100% as well. So, as my last assigment from the class, I have to post a summary of my Investigation about "The Benefits of Using Plus Models in Advertisements and Magazines". Here it is.

Summary of Final Project:

Plus models have been a pretty recent “boom” that has many people shocked and happy. In this practical and, a little, theoretical investigation we can find out what society thinks of plus models. With surveys, questionnaires, research and 3 interviews; the results were positives. People agree that beauty is what we see on the outside and they all believe plus models are positive for society. Even psiquiatrics agree that using plus models in advertisements and magazines will help society develop a sense of security and a self confidence that will lead to a healthy and happy life. As a conclusion, it’s important to say that society wants to see diversity in magazines and advertisements. This is a big step on finally reaching this equality in magazines, advertisements and beauty that will benefit society. Not only that, but this is proof that not all the changes that are happening in today’s society are bad. So, the standard of beauty of today is actually changing and positive for society. One just need to remember; “confident is the new sexy”.

Here's a pie chart discussing what people believe is the "real" beauty:

And that's it for today. Thanks again and stay beautiful!

Even in Japan! Ayyyy!

Hello Kawaii reader!

O\k, so today I read an article that I had to include here. On April 28th, 2015 (date of the article), thanks for buzzfeed.com, I found our that my topic is more relevant than I thought. The news I found out about was that Japan has a plus size models magazine. It turned a year old in April 28th.
Japan also has plus models and they are amazing. They say that people love these "Marshmallow girls" (That name is so japan! Kawaii). The magazine is called "La Farfa" and it's specialized for everyone,but the models they use are the "Marshmallow girls", who share styling tips and advertisements.

The magazine wanted to provide more positive representation of bigger girls. Not only that, but break the stereotype that all japanese girls are the same.

So kudos to Japan! Stay Kawaii!

Hello beautiful reader!

I've had this blog for sometime now, but I never really haven't told you guys the importance of the main topic of this blog. To be honest, I didn't know it until long research and social questionnaires. I've had to sty long hours reading opinions and scientific srticles about this. Not only that, but many "youtubers" have talked about this before. And the amazing conclusion of all this investigation is that plus models and today's confidence beauty standard is helping everyone of us to achieve self acceptance.
Self acceptance is nothing other than loving who you are, just like you are. When we accpet ourselves, our body feels more secure, more happy and more healthy. Like psychologists say; "if our mind is healthy, than our body is healthy".
The possitive impact is that by looking at plus girls in advertizements and seeing how famous they are getting, we care a bit less about "our imperfections". This applies to thin girls and big girls. So, this follows that you will start to be healthier without even noticing. When we feel confident, then we feel energized and can do more exercise. Our body feels fuller since we actually have less anxiety. And so on the positive cycle of health impacts us.
Not only that, but society is changing. We are finally starting to accept everyone by who they are. It doesn't atter if you're a size 2 or a size 22, we are all perfect and everyone has a good body. So just flaunt it and love what you're mama gave ya!

I'll be talking about this in a more detailed post later on. But this is a brief summary of the benefits of today's beauty standard (confidence). Thanks again!
