Eau de Chuck Bass (smells like sex, gin, and money)! Elixir of van Der Woodsen (for long legs & hair)! Hard as nails in “Waldorf” (a neutral, yet compelling lavender pink)!
Aren’t we glad I’m not in charge of creating a Gossip Girl-themed Birchbox?
This month’s box seems like the best of what Birchbox can do– I don’t have one gal pal who wasn’t THRILLED with her offerings this month. I don’t think it hurt most of us are fans of Gossip Girl, either.

I am really excited to launch a new series on the site called Beautiful Bodies: a series of interviews with fashion and lifestyle bloggers on their body image, experiences with body image, and dressing for their bodies. I’m hoping to include men and women of a variety of styles, sizes, shapes, and races. That being said– I didn’t think it was fair for me to ask other women to get candid and open about their bodies if I didn’t get honest with mine!

Describe your body:
At first thought, heavy and thick through my middle. Thin through the limbs. A body that is quick to build strength in my legs, quick to lose fat in my boobs, and slow to lose weight in the stomach. One that often aches from too much desk time and not enough moving, but that tingles with the aches of a hard workout. One that responds well to hours and nights of dancing. It’s a body with too fair of skin, that gets sick rarely, and is surprisingly flexible for its size. I have a love affair with my dark blue-grey eyes, my high cheekbones, my dainty wrists, long nail beds and cheesy grin.
What’s your earliest positive memory of body image (yours or another persons)?
I can’t recall a specific memory, but I feel like I grew up without hearing my mother complain about her body. Prior to their divorce, my parents were always very affectionate and loving towards one another. It seemed that they accepted each other and loved one another as they were.
