They say there are two ways to get a bikini body.

1.) Get a bikini

2.) Put it on your body

While it seems like the most logical thing to do, I still have my reservations. I’m not confident enough to strut around in a bikini.

What are these societal pressures anyway? Why can’t we just be comfortable in our own skins? Magazines will tell you how to get a bikini bod in two weeks.

Flip the pages and there are sinful dessert recipes.

Flip some more pages and there’s an advert for cosmetic surgery.

Finally, there’s a write-up on how to not care about the society and you’re vehemently being told, ‘You do you.’

I’ve gone with the vehement message…

By the way, my Dad asked me why I’m carrying such a big handbag on the beach. I had to explain it’s my beach bag. I heard him mutter something under his breath but I let it be…

You do you.
