Do you love yourself? I mean, do you actually, unapologetically love yourself? When most people think about this the default answer is yes. But simply getting through the day while adequately feeding yourself and soaking in your tub with a lush bath bomb fizzing around is not what I mean by self-love.

It is an admiration of yourself. It is recognizing and celebrating every tiny victory that you achieve as you would that of a four-year-old. Self-love is reminding yourself that you don't need someone to come into your life and show you the love that you deserve. You have to show yourself the love that you deserve.

Often times we forget to take a moment to ourselves and truly appreciate who we are. Over the course of this week, I asked some girlfriends of mine what trait they loved most about themselves. I didn't care if they took a while to answer because I knew they would find something—especially since I could have named ten things about each of them that was worth loving.

And ladies—we can't forget to love ourselves. It doesn't matter what color your skin is. It doesn't matter what your GPA averaged out to be. It does not matter who you choose to love. What matters is that you choose to love yourself. Every single day. My challenge for you, reader, is this—find one thing you love about yourself each day for the remaining month of June and speak it out loud before you leave your house. Don't be afraid to appreciate the things that make you, you.
