This is a duet chain, which is a sort of edit that allows creators to interact with each other on the same screen. Creators recently have been promoting body postivity with each other with this feature, often complementing each other about something about them. It shows positivity and promotes self-love to it's audience. This idea of working together with other creators and people to love you body is very new considering the way we used to view others body image. People often use to think that they have to look better than another person on the internet to love themselves, but based of this trend that is not true.

This is another very popular trend on social media as of current. It is done by showing live or non-live videos of oneself, typically influences, showing their bodies posed (as like in a picture) and unposed. The purpose is to reveal that a picture is not how everyone looks, there is something hidden or not shown. This is quite different than how it used to be. Influences would take pictures of themselves posed and edited, which made views jealous and upset because they can never make their body look like theirs. Now influence's are showing to get rid of these exceptions and show there is no reason to be jealous because influences don't always look like they do in their photos ever or in real life.

This is a trend where influencers post themselves in clothing that may make some people uncomfortable becuase it dosent comply to current body standards. They make this very aparent in their videos or content by saying this sentance clearly. It is to show that they, and you should love yourself in whatever clothing you wear, even if it is not socially acceptable.

'Say goodbye to boiling summers covered in black, because there is no such thing as a summer body! Here's how you can get into the right headspace.'

When I was younger the idea of getting in swimwear was my own personal vision of hell. Years went by where I spent days in scalding summers covering up in leggings or cardigans to hide away my body. When I did brave swimwear I would never dream of wearing a bikini. My go-to swimwear pieces were horrendously designed tankinis or frumpy swimsuits which covered as much of my bare skin as possible.

These days I am in a completely different head space: no more punishment, no hot summers wearing all black. Because I have secret for you: there is no such thing as a summer body! Yep, that's right ladies, each and every one of us has a body just ready for the beach. We are all entitled to enjoy summer and bask in the sunshine no matter what our shape or size because the truth is perfection is a myth and you need to know that you are just great as you are.

Confidence is something that is built over time and yes it may seem daunting to put yourself out there but trust me, the liberation of enjoying summer is truly special. Not to mention, now more than ever before plus size women actually have fashionable swimwear options to choose from which suit all body shapes. So, put on that swimsuit, rock that bikini, and bask in the glorious sunshine this summer. If I've not convinced you yet, then check out myself and these gorgeous plus size women rocking their summer bodies:

Think you can't wear prints? Chanel proves you damn well can in her gorgeous paisley print two piece.

Want to feel Hollywood glam this summer then hello retro polka dot one piece, perfectly modelled by Georgina.

Most importantly don't be afraid to make a statement and standout, then relax your holiday away just like me.

For more inspiration here are some of my favourite Instagrams:
A bandeau one piece works for every figure check out Grace in her gorgeous floral one piece
Not feeling comfortable enough to rock the full bikini look why not invest in a gorgeous lace cover up like Jennifer.
Get colourful with a long line printed bikini top like Danielle
Conscious of your tummy? Then opt for a high waist bikini like Kellie. They are a perfect flattering way to look gorgeous at the beach.

This is a trend on tik tok where influences, who love their own bodies and promote body postivity on their channels, make a scenario where they held the viewer with their own insecurity. While they may seem cringy to some, these videos are made with good intention to boost the confidence of women and men on social media immensely. They differ from the older promotion of 'easy fixes" on social media- "easy fat lose" or "easy hair fix" to help with insecurity promoted by influences.

We constantly hear about how social media negatively impacts our lives. Diet culture, toxic masculinity, and social anxiety are only a few examples of how Tik Tok can influence how we see ourselves. However, I am here to share my experience of how this media platform prevents me from losing myself.

2019 was my senior year, so in December, my graduation month, we had numerous social activities with the prom dance the most special one. I had always faced trust issues due to my corporal image. I gained 4 to 8kg during middle school, while some of my classmates did the opposite. This made me feel uncomfortable and upset with myself, so I tried every diet you can imagine, but nothing. However, this time, I decided to do whatever it takes to lose weight in the three weeks left before the prom.

At the beginning of the same month, I became in charge of preparing lunch while my parents were at work, so I started skipping lunch and would drink a cup of black coffee instead. When I downloaded Tik Tok, in the beginning, my For Your Page (FYP) was about Charlie D'amelio or funny videos. However, one day, I watched a Tik Tok of "What I eat in a day to lose weight." The girl weighed 49 kg and only ate 550 calories. I entered her profile, where all her videos she weighed in the morning, and on the next day, she had loose around 0.3 to 0.5kg each day during the week. As I wanted to have the same results, I followed her. Immediately, all my FYP was about this kind of video: girls restricting and starving themselves only for losing weight. I began counting calories and starving myself to a low number of them. In a month, I started getting anxious when others prepared lunch or dinner because I couldn't count the number of calories I was consuming. Also, binging was part of my weekly habits, which made me feel guilty afterward, being incapable of enjoying what I ate. After three weeks, I heard my friends telling me: "You look great!", "What do you do to be more skinny!" Of course, I knew that they didn't say it with bad intentions, but every time I heard it, I remembered those days I threw my breakfast in the trash or ran for about 2.5 hours to keep my calories in zero. "All this sacrifice is worth it," I thought.

But, does it? It wasn't until @jaztyles, @kaylaiutzwig, and @rachelrobertss appeared on my FYP and taught me about a term I haven't heard before: Body Positivity. (Body positivity challenges the popular culture view that there's an ideal shape, size, and appearance and instead celebrates all bodies.) These Tik Tok creators had diverse content, such as delicious and healthy recipes, they detailed their stories with eating disorders, they spoke about their recovery journey, and they even shared some health tips. These Tik Tok influencers taught me that healthy doesn't mean skinny, especially if your mental health is not okay with it.

If we want to start a healthy journey, food is not the only thing that has to change - we also have to change the way we see it. Food fuels our body and allows us to breathe and enjoy every exciting moment of our lives. Also, we need to change some habits, such as weighing ourselves every day, having a more active lifestyle, nourishing our mind with positive affirmations, and most importantly, listening to our bodies.

If someday we don't feel good enough to don't exercise, it is okay. Tomorrow, you can get back on track. Or if it's your mom's birthday, so you're going to have a buffet dinner, eat what your body feels enjoys! Having a healthy lifestyle is finding a balance between what your body needs and your body wants. And believe me, no diet will encourage that.
And remember, if you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, you are brave for talking about it, and check out the resources on BTWF's Get Help Page.

Januhairy is a month where both men and women make a commitment to growing their body hair out for the month of January without shaving. Over the month, these participants share their hair growth progress on social media. Overall, the ending goal is to feel sexier and to have such an intense love for your natural body hair that you remain to grow it.

Showing off body hair is a trend that's slowly trickling into the mainstream. But there's still a stigma attached to rocking grown-out pits or a thick womanly bush. Now, a new social media movement is shattering that restrictive beauty norm. It's called #januhairy, and women everywhere are taking part by shamelessly posting photos of their body hair online.

In addition to #januhairy, they're also using hashtags like #bodyhairdontcare (yeah, these gals are clever) and #womenwithbodyhair. In their captions, many explained why they stopped shaving. Some say it's given them a serious self-confidence boost, while others simply want to embrace the body nature gave them.

"I grew out my body hair for a performance as part of my drama degree in May 2018," the founder of Instagram account @janu_hairy wrote in a recent post. "There had been some parts that were challenging for me, and others that really opened my eyes to the taboo of body hair on a woman. After a few weeks of getting used to it, I started to like my natural hair. I also started to like the lack of uncomfortable episodes of shaving."

Another user, @themamabell, wrote: "I'm half Lebanese, hairy by nature. When I shave my hair grows back within minutes, it's truly pointless and a waste of shower time for me considering how much hair I have to groom solely on my head. So I stopped. Eventually I stopped shaving all together because it simply did not benefit me anymore."

Say it with me now, ladies: Body hair is a natural part of being a woman. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and we're done pretending like shaving is the only way to be sexy. The women who have joined this movement are total badasses, and we could not be more here for them. Below, we've rounded up some of our favorite shared photos. Spoiler: They all look fierce as ever!
