In the near-future, an interview with Caitlin of Operation Beautiful will be posted here :)

I think that, sometimes, no matter how rational our thoughts are, we need to be reminded that we're beautiful just the way we are. Even if you don't usually feel bad about the way you look, everyone has bad days, when things start to get them down - bad hair days tend to be what I suffer from most frequently, and I found that the easiest way not to feel bad about my massive frizz of hair was to remember something that someone I admire once said;

"I won't ever straighten my hair to impress a guy again"
- Taylor Swift

So, I thought I'd collect some positive body image quotes to remind you all that you're beautiful; pick the one that's most relevant for you, write it on a post-it note, stick it to your mirror, and always remember that you are beautiful.

"Find yourself and your own unique, signature style, rather than trying to be 'of the moment'"
- Dita Von Teese

"There are flowers everywhere, for those who bother to look"
- Henri Matisse

"Wear a fabulous smile, great jewelry, and know that you are totally and utterly in control"
- Donatella Versace

"Beauty is not in the face - beauty is a light in the heart"
- Kahil Gibran

"I think I've become more comfortable about being a human being"
- Cameron Diaz

"I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down! The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not dis other women for being proud of theirs!"
- Christina Aguilera

"Eat healthily, exercise regularly, and listen to really good music"
- Perez Hilton

"I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful"
- Anon

"Beauty comes in all sizes, not just size five"
- Roseanne

"I don't like standard beauty - there is no beauty without strangeness"
- Karl Largerfeld

The most inspirational thing I found when I was looking for quotes for this post, however, is not a quote at all; it is a secret sent in to PostSecret months and months ago now... and I wanted to share it with you all;

(: Very poignant...

Which are your favourite quotes? And have you got any of your own to share?
