LeBron James Plans to Pay For 1100 Students to Attend College

LeBron James Visits It doesn't take a basketball fan to know that NBA star LeBron James making huge moves in the sports arena, but he's also dedicated to helping others win off the court as well. Fresh off the success of his starring role in Amy Schumer's Trainwreck, the 30-year-old star announced plans to partner with other major businesses through his LeBron James Family Foundation to pay full college tuition for 1100 students who attend school in his hometown at the University of Akron in Ohio.

Speaking on his latest charitable efforts, LeBron told Today, "At this rate, we've got 1,100 kids in our program, and if I can put 1,100 kids into college free, that means I'll have done something, (and) the University of Akron, JPMorgan and Chase and my foundation have done something great to give back."

As plenty of college students can attest, paying tuition can be pose a major challenge, which is fortunately being acknowledged by celebrities like LeBron and huge companies like Starbucks, which offers free tuition to all its employees. Having their full academic career financed by a superstar athlete probably won't help the students improve their jump shot, but it will certainly help to reduce potential financial burdens while they focus on attaining their degrees.

Needless to say, we consider LeBron's plan to give back as a total slam dunk, and look forward to seeing more celebrities and corporations follow his lead.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian Takes Rob on "The Hardest Hike Ever"

World's Most Beautiful Magazine Launch EventKim and Rob Kardashian have certainly had their fair share of ups and downs over the past few years - as siblings often do.

It seemed as though things had reached an all-time low after Rob infamously left Kim's wedding just hours before she walked down the aisle with Kanye West. Then, in March, it got even worse when he posted (and deleted) a bloody picture of Rosamund Pike's character from Gone Girl with the caption, "This is my sister kim , the bitch from Gone Girl."

Now, it looks like they've put their differences aside and are starting to rebuild their relationship. Shortly after Kim announced that she was pregnant again, she took to Twitter to complain about her morning sickness, to which Rob replied, "I sent u that voice note. It should help," and Kim said, "should I post it? I think people would love to hear the voice notes u send me!" She never did post them and she ended up finding a different way to combat her morning sickness, but that's a completely different story.

Today the reality star took to Twitter to tell her 34 million fans that she and her younger bro are getting along just fine, thank you. And she's actually helping him work on his fitness: Rob has admittedly been struggling with his weight gain for some time now, as he discussed on Keeping Up With The Kardashians before he stopped appearing on the show and pretty much stepped out of the spotlight altogether.

In June, a source told People that the 28-year-old was still struggling with his weight, adding that he "just can't get motivated. Everyone is trying to be encouraging, but for the most part he doesn't want to hear what he already knows."

Given that Kim is very regimented with her workouts, maybe she can help him get into a routine, too.

This New Veggie Might Be Better Than Kale

Heart-shaped formed by fresh Black KaleCalling all kale fans: If you're in an exclusive love affair with the health-boosting green veggie, then be prepared to have your foodie allegiance tested.

So far, kale has basically become the pop star of veggies (you know you're the best vegetable ever when Beyonce wears your name on a sweatshirt), but according to Fast Company, kale should be clutching its green, leafy pearls because a strange veggie named BroccoLeaf could be its next rival.

The website reports that a California-based produce organization called The Nunes Company has plans to sell part of the broccoli plant that is typically reserved for compost purposes instead of consumption. The company believes cites the abundance of nutrients contained in the leaves around a broccoli crown as the main reason why this portion of the veggie actually belongs on our plates.

Matt Seeley, VP of marketing at The Nunes Company, explained the origins of BroccoLeaf, pointing out that the "younger, less mature leaves" are harvested prior to the formation of the broccoli crown, resulting in a new veggie that is said to boast a "less bitter" taste than kale. In fact, the company has already begun selling BroccoLeaf as a part of its Foxy Organic brand. For now, though, the veggie's availability is limited to areas surrounding New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Sorry kale, but if this new veggie tastes good in a milkshake, we're totally down to try it.







Watch: These Moms Did an Amazing Chick-fil-A Parody of "All About That Bass"

Warning: The side effects of watching this hilarious "I Wanna Go to Chick Fil A" video include instant mouthwatering and hunger pangs coupled with an overwhelming urge to order a number one Chick-fil-A combo with a Dr. Pepper and large waffle fries - or maybe that's just us.

A group of extremely creative moms from Franklin, Tenn. who refer to themselves as The Texting Yoga Pants decided to show how they blow off steam from the perils of parenting by creating a parody of Meghan Trainor's "All About that Bass," only with a fast food spin. In the clip, which has garnered nearly 200,000 views, the moms use Meghan's booty-glorifying anthem to sing and dance about their addiction to Chick-fil-A play dates with their adorable tots in tow.

"Our husbands say we go to Chick-fil-A way too much/But we get to wear yoga pants and our hair in a messy bun," the mothers sing.

According to their YouTube page, the Texting Yoga Pants are "a group of millennial MOMS that do life together. Other than loving on our babies we are comprised of a graphic designer, a writer, an entertainer turned entrepreneur, a real-estate contract expert and an AMAZING cookie baker in the crew. We also wear yoga pants ... a lot."

One thing ladies - it's time to update that description to include the word badass.




'Victorious' Reunion in the Works? Ariana Grande, Matt Bennett Tweets Spark Rumors

victorious reunion ariana grande matt bennett tweetsHow amazing would a Victorious reunion be? We're slightly freaking out because, based on a Twitter exchange this week between Victorious co-stars Matt Bennett and Ariana Grande, it sounded like maybe a reunion could be in the works.

Well...maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves because - on further investigation - it looks like a Victorious reunion went on IRL at one point with some of the stars of the series, but there's no confirmation about a TV reunion. We haven't given up hope yet, tbh.

Matt, who played Robbie on the show, tweeted (and Ariana, who played Cat, retweeted): "Well I guess the Cat's out of the bag (as are the Robbies, Jades, and Andres)."

Fans of the show understandably lost their ish just a wee bit.

Matt's tweet seemed to be in response to Elizabeth Gillies (who played Jade), who posted a fairly interesting #TBT pic of "Leon's first time," with a pic of Leon Thomas (who played Andre), Liz, Ari and Matt all in bed together. What the what? Matt also posted the pic on his Instagram, writing: "Nick at Nite #tbt." Now that's some racy Nick at Nite action!

Leon also posted it to Instagram, asking for people to caption the pic.

Matt followed it all up with a tweet that threw out some foursome ship names, tweeting: "What's the ship name for all four of us? Roandcade? Candrobbiade?Jandrobbat?"

So...no Victorious TV reunion, but even if they were just playing around in real life, the nostalgia is real, y'all.

AOL BUILD Speaker Series: This just kicked our weekend off with a bang.

Lucy Hale revealed that she and Rascal Flatts covered "Let It Go," for Disney's new "#WeAreDisney" album recently, with the Pretty Little Liars star writing on Instagram, "Well...dreams come true. Got to record a duet with my musical idols @rascalflatts for the #WeLoveDisney album coming out October 30! The cold never bothered me anyway...@Disney @welovedisney."

A photo posted by Lucy Hale (@lucyhale) on

We're so excited about this, particularly since Lucy has probably been preparing for this moment since she, Joel Crouse and Kyle Rife belted out "Let it Go" in a car on video in June 2014.

Lucy and Rascal Flatts are just a few of the music stars we'll be hearing from when the Disney album drops in October, though. Ariana Grande will sing "Zero to Hero" from Hercules, Jason Derulo will be singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from The Lion King and Jhené Aiko sings "In a World of My Own/Very Good Advice" from Alice and Wonderland, among many others, according to Pop Crush.

Here's Ne-Yo's version of Aladdin's "Friend Like Me" for a taste of what's to come. We're already loving it.

Kylie Jenner is 18 now and she hasn't been shy about showing her sexier side on Instagram since the clock struck midnight on her milestone b-day.

As soon as it was officially her big day, Ky shared a bunch of scantily-clad shots from a recent photoshoot she had done and she was wearing less and less with each new photo that she shared.

During her birthday getaway in Mexico, the reality star sported a series of super sexy swimsuits (and one of Kris Jenner's vintage hot pink suits!) and this one, where she is showing some serious sideboob...not that anybody is complaining!

via GIPHY

"Relax w/me," Ky captioned the super sexy pic of herself lounging by the pool at Casa Aramara, where she and her friends spent the week. The private luxury retreat is owned by Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis, who is also a close Kardashian family friend.

Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian have both vacationed at the house many times and now it looks like Kendall and Kylie Jenner are following suit. We can't say we blame them, though, who wouldn't want to vacation here?

Relax and enjoy the day! #CasaAramara #ForeverOnVacation #LuxuryRetreat #PuntaMita

Pecan Pie M&Ms Have Finally Arrived!

Thanksgiving just came early.

Right before we had a chance to run to the store, Mars confirmed what we were hoping was true. There's a new M&Ms flavor set to hit shelves and it's none other than the pecan pie variety (anyone else excited about this?!).

"The rumors are true: I'm the new face of Pecan Pie M&M'S! You'll start to see me on the shelves of your local Wal-Mart soon, but only for a limited time. - Ms. Green," the candy brand captioned a shot on Facebook Friday of the M&M bag, which shows the green M&M holding a plate of pecan pie and sitting on a haystack.

How soon? They've actually already been spotted at some stores. Consumerist posted a picture of the bags on a shelf at a Wal-Mart Wednesday, and Refinery29 reported that the new flavor will be available at other Wal-Mart locations around Halloween. So, as you might imagine, we're on the hunt.

The latest M&Ms flavor follows the limited-time candy apple and pumpkin spice flavors the company has released in the past couple of years. This go-round, M&M fans seem even more excited by the new flavor debut, and we completely get it. A chocolate pecan pie sounds pretty amazing.

Twitter user niiiiiifaaaaa shared a photo of an iced coffee drink and in it, one ice cube stood out like no other. In the cube, you can so see an outline of a Disney princess in a ball gown frozen inside. What the what?!

The figure totally looks like Cinderella, although some people are arguing that it looks like Belle. Either way, it's clear as day, and pretty cool.

Check out the picture of the cube. Do you see a Disney princess in there?

How To Pull Off A Pop of Color Without Doing Too Much

Paint SculptureSo... the weather is changing and you want to ditch the black? Or do you want to bend the makeup rules for school by wearing a subtle bright lip? Either way, go girl!

Here are a few ways to ease yourself into the wonderful world of colorful clothing, makeup and more without looking like a circus clown (easier to do than you think!).

When it comes to lipstick, you don't always have to go neon. There are some beautiful shades of pinks and corals that look surprisingly natural, but will give you a gorgeous glow, without being completely obvious. A tinted lip balm is perfect for this, it will give you a sheer layer of color and protect your lips from sun and wind exposure.
If you're thinking of swapping your usual baggy sweater with a cute crop or tank top, don't be frightened by the racks of sunflower yellow and fuchsia shirts at the stores. Adding a simple colored bracelet or statement necklace can be enough to tie a look together and bring you up to date with today's hottest looks. See a model on the runway wearing an amazing red hat? That could be you!

Color doesn't always have to be the brightest hues. A peachy nude or pale seafoam green will still give you color without being too vibrant. You can always add a few matching accessories if you want to dial it up a notch.
I've always been a fan of eyeliner, but plain old black can get, well...plain, sometimes. Many makeup brands create beautiful colored eyeliners, from gold to cobalt blue and burnt orange. It doesn't matter if you prefer pencil or liquid, have fun with it! A small flick on the outer corner of your eye or a pop of color in your waterline can entirely transform your look.

When it comes to home decor, we'll often go with 'safe' colors like greys and beiges. Sure, you can still paint your walls in a neutral shade, but adding a few items in a contrasting color can make your space look like it's been designed by a professional! A few nice combinations are grey & yellow, as well as peacock blue & beige. Get creative!

Adding color to your life can be kinda daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Go with what suits you and you can't go wrong!

Selena Gomez Addresses Those Zayn Malik Dating Rumors

Selena Gomez in New York CityFormer One Direction guy Zayn Malik has been linked to basically everyone since his infamous breakup with Perrie Edwards a few weeks ago. While their split was shocking itself, we were super surprised when Zayn followed Selena Gomez on Twitter shortly after, and dating rumors started to swirl.

During a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, Selena actually opened up about all that Zayn talk. She explained that she does know him in real life, so she doesn't think it's "weird" that he gave her a follow on Twitter.

"I had no idea what that was until somebody else asked me, and obviously I know Zayn, though, so it's not like a weird thing," she said. "I just didn't know who followed me. Thanks for the follow, Zayn!"

When asked if she followed him back, Selena admitted she hadn't, but promised to do so.

"Did I [follow him back]? I don't know, I don't think I did but I will right now. I should do it," she said.

Oh man! Don't tell Justin Bieber about all of this. We're pretty sure Zayn followed Selena to piss him off. He didn't follow Selena on Twitter until Perrie's group Little Mix promoted Bieber's new song online.

Zayn wasn't the only thing Selena talked about during this interview. She also revealed if she's singing about "farting carrots" in "Good For You" or not. Read about that, here.

7 Stuggles You Face When You Have Long Locks Like Rapunzel's

Atractive woman combing her hair on the beachWhen we were toddlers and we were running about in our mom's heels, having long hair wasn't really much of a problem for us because we had our moms and grannies telling us to sit still while they configured our hair in pigtails and cute braids. Now, we're in high school, and we're faced with the daily struggle of trying to tame wild bedheads and trying to look presentable in a limited time frame.

Problem No. 1: Getting Ready on Time

Girls. We need time to comb through our hair, and long hair really cuts it - especially when you're attending a school hell-bent on your hair being perfect. It needs to be plait. It needs to be neat. It needs to be clipped in. My No. 1 problem is reaching behind my head and getting the plait dead center. I often have to comb it to the side or in a high ponytail.
the struggle is real gif

Problem No. 2: Humidity Frizz or Just Dry?

In my opinion, longer hair tends to be drier than shorter haircuts. The oil that our scalp naturally produces is sometimes not enough to reach the very tips of our hair, so it ends up being a lot drier, and a lot frizzier than most. Putting it into a pony rarely helps, as there are fine hairs at the front that frizzes out of the pony. Most times, we can't wear it loose because of the major frizz.
humidity gif

Problem No. 3: Washing More Than Once a Week?

Long hair tends to take longer to dry. Washing long hair depends on the schedule of the person sporting the long hair or the severity of the situation. My schedule is usually from 5, sometimes 4:30, a.m. to about 6 or 8 p.m. That leaves little to no time for me to wash my hair and have it dry naturally - and I often catch colds because of it. In addition to drying time is the amount of time it takes for us to actually soak it thoroughly, then rinse it thoroughly.

Problem No. 4: Applying Heat

Hair dryers are one thing I try to avoid as much as I can. Heat tends to make long hair go untamable. Straightening irons are a completely different territory on their own. If we need to go out, and we plan to straighten our hair, we need to start a day or two before and probably straighten it both days to get it straight for at least two to three hours. Think I'm exaggerating? I have spent 15 minutes trying to straighten a lock of my hair, and half an hour later, it kinks.

Problem No. 5: Styling

There is going to be at least one time in our lives that we will need an elegant hairstyle. Finding one that does not require a trip to the hairdresser is pretty difficult. There aren't many styles that one can accomplish with long hair. Yes, there are styles that girls with mid-length can manage, but not when your hair is past your bum.

Problem No. 6: Broken Combs!

Long hair can rarely be worn loose, because it knots. The longer the hair, the shorter the time it takes to get knotty and trapped in a tangled mess that can take hours to detangle. Not only this, but wearing our hair down tends to make us feel hotter (temperature wise, that is). There is nothing more unpleasant than having long hair sticking to you, tangling in your hands and getting in your face.
snapping gif

Problem No. 7: Pump Up the Volume!

Is it really little volume or just really long hair? This depends on the person, but girls with long hair tend to have their hair look kind of flat. This isn't because her hair has little volume, but simply the length surpasses the actual volume of the hair. If that girl were to cut it a few inches, voila! Voluminous hair!

Yahoo's New App Takes On SnapChat

yahoo phoneYahoo released a new messaging app last month in select areas of the world called Livetext, and TechCrunch reported this week that it's now available across the globe. The app takes a new approach to texting, providing a live video of the person you're texting with - but with no sound. Yahoo's new take on texting is geared to provide a more raw, connected messaging experience, allowing you to see the surroundings and current state of the person you're messaging with.

To be honest, this concept is odd to me. I can't think of an instance where I would prefer to live chat with some with no audio, watching each other as we text emojis back and forth. My take is if I want to see someone, I'm just going to FaceTime with them. I can see the appeal, though, if you're at a concert or somewhere that it's too loud to talk, and you want to show the person you're chatting with what the atmosphere is like. I'm sure there are other use cases, but my initial reaction is a little underwhelming.

Other apps like SnapChat have their niche, with messaging that provides a "story." If I want to recap my week of vacation to friends with photos, I simply create a photo story through SnapChat. It's less time consuming than uploading an album to Facebook (and more personal, IMO.) Plus, SnapChat is more permissible in allowing me to select who I want to see my story. GroupMe is another app that has a solid focus, providing unlimited messaging groups with friends and family. Now available all across the globe, I'm curious to see what market Livetext will capture.

What do you think - will you give Livetext a try? The app is available for both iOS and Android users, and you can learn more about the app in the video from TechCrunch below.

Kylie Jenner celebrated her 18th birthday with a trip to Mexico with her clique. So, who are these awesome peeps that made it into Kylie's inner circle?

For starters, there's Tyga...which you already know. But, we want to know more about her gal pals, because this crew seriously is #SquadGoals.

First, there is Anastasia "Stassi" Karanikolaou, Kylie's best friend. Her Instagram is Stassiebaby and she has over 1 million followers. She appeared on Kylie's Teen Vogue cover with her and according to Entertainment Tonight, she's one of Kylie's roommates in her $2.7 million mansion.

Next, we have Jordyn Woods, who you probably recognize from a lot of Kylie's IG pics and Snapchat videos. She's also good friends with Jaden and Willow Smith, so you might have seen her pop up in a lot of their stuff, too. Jordyn has almost 400,000 followers on Instagram and you can follow her here.

Her other pals, Pia Mia and Justine Skye, you probably already know. Both girls are singers and have collaborated with some of Kylie's other famous friends. Justine recently did a song with Tyga and Pia Mia's hit single "Do It Again" featuring Chris Brown and Tyga already has over 36 million views on YouTube. You can find Pia on Instagram here and Justine here.




Did Candis Cayne Really Ask Caitlyn Jenner Out on a Date?

In the teasers for the upcoming episode of I Am Cait, we see Candis Cayne ask Caitlyn Jenner "would you like to go out on a date?" and the obvious assumption is that...well, she asked Cait out. Given that the two have been spending a lot of time together and even their friends have teased them about their chemistry, Caitlyn doesn't seem ready to date just yet - and that's actually where Candis' question came into play.

In an extended sneak peek from tomorrow's episode, we see Candis' question in context and she wasn't actually asking Caitlyn out, she was asking Caitlyn what she would say if someone asked her out, because Caitlyn had just mentioned that she wasn't sure what she would do in that situation and Candis was helping her prepare.

"Would you like to go out on a date?" Candis asks Cait, after she says she's not sure what she would do if she was approached. "Like if somebody walked up to you who was beautiful and I was like, 'Would you like to go out on a date sometime?' What would you say?" Candis clarifies.


Could her inquiry have been for herself? Of course, but that is yet to be seen. All we know is that they seem really happy when they're hanging out and if their friendship turns into something more, that would be icing on the cake.

For the most part, Beyonce has been extremely cautious about sharing photos that reveal Blue Ivy's full face in all its beautiful glory. Fortunately, the singer didn't hold back in her latest Instagram post, which is all about her baby girl.

On Friday, Beyonce posted a throwback photo of herself and a then 11-month-old Blue Ivy on the set of the singer's second US Vogue shoot. While she and Blue are both serving major face, it's obvious that the fierce top bun and adorable cheeks on Bey's mini-me totally stole the show.

Beyoncé captioned the cute mother-daughter photo, "The real cover girl💙💙My delicious Blue Blue at 11 months."

How anyone can resist not pinching those cheeks, we may never know. Either way, it looks like the 3-year-old is totally following in her mother's flawless footsteps. Maybe she'll keep up the family tradition by making history like Beyoncé, who recently became the first black female musician to nab the cover of Vogue's September issue. We already know Blue has inherited Bey's dance skills, and this adorable #FBF pic proves that she can totally slay a photo shoot as well.

The only thing left is to hear Blue sing a note or two, and we'll know she's officially a superstar in the making.

An Ohio man lost his life on August 16 when he was struck by a roller coaster while trying to retrieve his lost wallet and cell phone.

During his search for the lost items at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, the man entered a restricted area and was struck by the Raptor roller coaster (pictured above).

The park confirmed the incident on their official Facebook page, writing, "At approximately 5 p.m., a guest entered a restricted, fenced area of the Raptor roller coaster and was struck by the ride. Park safety officials responded immediately to the situation. Unfortunately the guest has passed away. Local authorities are on the scene conducting an investigation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time."
Cedar Point Halloweekends 323The victim has been identified as 45-year-old James Young, and according to reports, he had just finished riding the Raptor when he realized the items were missing. He then hopped a fence into a restricted area to try to retrieve them and was tragically struck by one of the train cars. He was pronounced dead on the scene by the Erie County coroner.

Authorities say that no one else was injured in the incident and the park has since re-opened the ride.

Our thoughts go out to James' family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

The 'That's So Raven' Reunion Will Give You All Types of Feels

Everything about this reunion gave us life.

Although the That's So Raven cast hasn't gotten back together for a reunion episode just yet, they did give fans something fairly close when Raven Symone and her three co-stars reunited on a special episode of The View.

Orlando Brown, Anneliese van der Pol and Kyle Massey were all on hand when the reunion went down, with the stars sharing secrets about the show that we had never heard before. For example, before the show was ever called That's So Raven, "It was actually named a different show altogether," Raven said, with Anneliese adding, "I think it was called Absolutely Psychic at the time."

"That was when I played the best friend, not the psychic, and then they changed it over," Raven said. Speaking of changing things around, Anneliese wasn't even cast as Raven's bestie, Chelsea Daniels, at first.

"Anneliese actually didn't get the part of Chelsea at the very beginning. Somebody else had the part," Raven revealed. She didn't say who got it, but View co-host Michelle Collins jokingly asked, "Who was it? Was it Angelina Jolie?"

A photo posted by Raven-Symone` (@ravensymone) on

"They just wanted somebody more beautiful than Angelina Jolie," Anneliese said with a laugh, "so of course they went with me." Meanwhile, Orlando, who danced his way out onto the stage, joked that it went to Miley Cyrus first.

He wasn't joking about the tattoo he had on his hand in honor of the show, though. It literally is a tattoo of the cast on his hand and he was more than happy to show it off. "Hey! That's So Raven tattoo right here. I got us all tatted...just because...I do." That is some serious loyalty to his roots.

A video posted by Raven-Symone` (@ravensymone) on

Meanwhile, Raven hit Instagram after the show to share several snaps and videos (including one of the tat) that almost made us tear up. "Love everyone of yall crazy people! @orlandobrown_ @kylemassey @anneliesevanderpol Thank you for coming on the show today! #straightouttacompton too! This Friday is everything," she captioned it.

Elite Female Athletes Open Up About Being Body-Shamed

People get body-shamed for all kinds of different reasons. Whether someone has called you too skinny, too fat, too masculine, too tall, too short...whatever...if you've been there, you know how badly those words can hurt.

In this amazing video, Cosmopolitan spoke with five elite female athletes who reveal that they, too, were body-shamed.

Featured in the clip are: Instagram fitness guru Massy Arias (who has almost 2 million followers), Natasha Hastings, an Olympic gold-winning track star, Sanya Richards-Ross, another Olympic gold-winning track star, UFC fighter Jessica Eye, and CrossFit trainer Christmas Abbott.

In addition to being total bada**es, these girls have crazy amounts of confidence and teach us a lot about being proud of your body even when other people try to make you feel bad about it.

"I was body-shamed in high school," Natasha reveals. "I was teased for looking like a boy...I've always had an athletic build. I embrace who I am and I'm not ashamed of being all woman, but being strong and being a figure of strength. I think it's important that women know who they are and aren't afraid to stand up for that."

The girls all tell a similar story about being criticized for not having the stereotypical female form, not having big enough boobs or a big enough butt - and how they came to understand that, as Jessica brilliantly observed, 'strong is the new beautiful.'

As Christmas explains, you have to mentally train for how you feel about your body the same way you train for your sport - and no matter how perfect your body might be, people will still try to body-shame you, so you have to be stronger than the haters.

When we look at these strong and incredibly inspiring women, we can't even believe anybody could ever criticize them - but that's exactly the point. You can't control the mean things people say to or about you, but you can control whether or not you choose to believe them.
