✨Body brushing: the most underrated form of self-love✨
As a professional boudoir photographer, I see women reconnect with their bodies in the most beautiful, vulnerable, and empowering ways in my studio.
🦋I want to share one small ritual that has had a massive impact on how I see and feel about my own body—body brushing.
Every morning, I make it a moment. I grab my body brush and check in with myself. I touch base with my toes, ankles, fingers, elbows. And I say—
🦶“Good morning, toes!”
💪“Hi there, elbow. You’re looking gorgeous today.”
🧤“Morning, ankles. We’re going to have a fab day.”
I know it sounds a little silly, but stay with me. This isn’t about vanity. It’s about rewriting the internal narrative so many of us have absorbed for years—the one that criticizes and picks apart our reflection before we’ve even had coffee.
This is about consciously choosing to treat your body with kindness. Speaking to it with love. Looking at it with gratitude.
Because here’s the truth: we can decide, right now, to change the voice you use when you speak to yourself. And when you do, everything shifts.
After brushing, I smooth on the most delicious moisturizer I own—not because I’m trying to “fix” anything, but because I’ve decided to treat my skin like a Ferrari. A damn Ferrari. It’s coming out of the garage, getting polished with love, admired like the work of art it is! 🚀
Ladies, if you’re waiting to feel confident before you love your body—you’re doing it backwards.
⭐️ Start with the love.
⭐️ Start with the ritual.
⭐️ Start with the intention.
⭐️ The confidence follows.
So tomorrow morning, grab your brush, say hello to your knees, and start the day with joy in your bones.
Your body deserves to be loved by the most important person in your life—you.
With love,
