[kal•on] (n.) beauty that is more than skin deep

I believe in the importance of celebrating other women.  Celebrating their strengths, celebrating their unique traits and differences, and celebrating their resilience. These women embody strength, confidence, and true inner beauty. Click on each photo to read their full stories, and don’t forget to check back each month to see new women featured!

"if there's something that you want to do but you're scared that others will judge you- just DO IT! At the end of the day, you are you're own person and the people who truly have your best interests at heart will have your back no matter what."

"Blogging has made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and has made me love myself simply by surrounding myself with people who support me and appreciate me for who I am. I love being able to show my real self and show how I dress my body type so that other women with the same body type as me can feel empowered to shop and feel confident as well. "

"What really gives each one of us our own style is truly being yourself, in the most original form. Blogging should be fun; reflective of the essence of your style and personality. As long as you’re having fun and feel passionate about what you’re doing nothing should discourage or stand in your way!!"

"One day I looked myself in the mirror and in my gangster voice I said, Girl you look fine...Don't just me a follower, be an influencer! Juggling life and adding blogging to it has been difficult but when you're passionate about something you make time for it."

"One of the biggest struggles that I have overcome is paying off all of my student loans and credit card debt. In my 20s, I felt invincible, bought whatever I wanted and spent money without a care in the world. Fortunately, I caught myself before any permanent damage was done, completely re-evaluated my relationship with money and took steps to ensure that I would be financially sound moving forward."

if you have a passion for fashion don't hold back! Blogging is a judge free zone, your website and social media handles give you the opportunity to express yourself, just do it! Some days you may feel discouraged but we all do. Do what you love and give it your all!
