20 Mar BodyTalks: Tushy Thursday!
Body Talks:
Tushy Thursday!
At Jezebel, we celebrate you. This encompasses every facet of who you are – who WE all are. We show you ways to see yourself through the lens of unconditional love, and we understand that some days it’s easy to appreciate ourselves, and other times it can be more of a challenge.
This is where we want to flip the script and really talk about what our bodies can do for us. Honest discussions can lead to acceptance, and acceptance can open our eyes to the possibilities of love.
On Thursdays Jezebel is all about the tush! Each week we’ll be showcasing some of our favorite images where they have a starring role. We’ll be discussing the challenges we face with an often disliked part of our bodies and hopefully turning those conversations towards ones of appreciation.

All too often, other people encouraging us to accept and love the shape of our bodies just as they are is the push we really want. We want to feel seen, be heard and feel secure in the knowledge that there are others cheering us on in a genuine way. Sometimes, encouragement from a total stranger pushes us to see what our friends and family try wholeheartedly to get us to believe on a daily basis. Accepting compliments from others, even if we don’t always agree with them, is a step in the right direction when we’re experiencing doubt.
If you usually immediately deny positive encouragement, regardless of form – next time you receive a compliment, perhaps respond with a quiet “thank you.” Sit with their words, maybe even revisit them when you’re settling in for the evening. Allow the experience to have a little space, even if only temporarily. It’s surprising how this can begin to shift our perspective ♥
Loving our bodies is a journey
As a small exercise, this week we’re sharing some quotes about self love and treating ourselves gently. Everyone from Meghan Markle to Buddha have made their thoughts on the subject known, so let’s dive in!
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
— Buddha
“Self-love is not selfish; you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself.” — RuPaul
“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.”
— Sophia Bush
“The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.”
— Diane von Furstenberg
