I much prefer the term “body confidence” over “body positivity.” If we have the expectation to be positive all the time about our physical being, we can set ourselves up for shame and guilt around not having the right feelings about our body or not being perfectly positive all the time. I think it’s about acceptance, confidence, and the willingness to have more fluidity in how we think about our bodies as a whole, and that inherently allows for changing our minds.

As a lifestyle and beauty content creator in New York City, I’m always down to try something new, so when the opportunity came to try CoolSculpting®, it’s safe to say my curiosity was piqued. I was equally down to try something noninvasive (I’m personally so terrified of surgery that I can’t even watch some of Dr. Pimple Popper’s videos) and I loved that it was focused on contouring.
