Jaz: Glitter & Gold
Leave a little sparkle wherever you go! Creative Boudoir- Winnipeg, MB
Storyline: A woman who has struggled with eating disorders and toxic diet culture now feels confident and loves her body. She wants everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin and helps them see their own beauty by embracing her own unapologetically. She embraces her rolls and stretch marks as part of her story that she is proud to show off and embraces herself with love and kindness.
Following this session I found glitter and gold everywhere for weeks! But it was worth it, glitter is always worth it!
