Still Pretty, Even with Cramps 🌸✨

Here I am, looking cute… but yes, I’m still dealing with cramps. Not the dramatic kind, just those annoying little reminders that my body is going through its monthly process. And honestly? Even with that discomfort, I still feel bonita.

I think sometimes we believe we have to feel 100% physically perfect to feel pretty, but that’s not true. Beauty isn’t canceled just because you’re a little bloated, a little tired, or moving a bit slower. Today I’m softer, maybe a bit more sensitive, but that doesn’t take away my glow. If anything, it makes me more real.

I chose a comfy outfit that still makes me feel nice when I look in the mirror. Nothing too tight, nothing that adds pressure — just something that lets me breathe and exist peacefully. When cramps show up, I try to respond with kindness instead of frustration. Warm drinks, a heating pad, slow movements… and patience. Lots of patience.

There’s something empowering about saying, “Yes, I’m uncomfortable… but I’m still me.” Still smiling, still taking pictures, still appreciating the little things. Maybe I won’t be running around today, but I can still enjoy calm moments and take care of myself properly.

So here I am — pretty, a little crampy, but peaceful. Listening to my body and honoring what it needs. And that, I think, is its own kind of beauty. 🌸✨
