A model who doesn't constantly edit herself is one that we all can appreciate. Who could really dislike that? She's intelligent, strong-willed, and doesn't take anyone's drama.

1. Doesn't Edit

For real, how many models do you know of that completely do not retouch their photos. Personally, that is something I love because, how can you relate to someone if they don't even look real. Not retouching is so significant in a time where so many people struggle with positive body image.

2. Intelligent

Not only is Iskra beautiful, she is intelligent! Iskra is the managing editor at Runway Riot. Runway Riot is a fashion, style, and beauty site that celebrates women of all shapes and sizes. If I see one thing I love most, it is that she is not just someone who poses for pictures.

3. Brand Ambassador

At a younger age, Iskra struggled with accepting her body, so now she is a brand ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association. Iskra is such a caring person, and you simply could not ask for more from a brand ambassador.

4. Dropped

As stated, Iskra knows all about body struggles. At the young age of 15, Iskra was dropped from her modeling agency. She was told her hips were too wide while also being told her hips were too small for a plus size model. I bet those people are weeping now because Iskra has become such a positive influence in the modeling world.

5. Takes Criticism with Grace

When fat-shamed for flaunting her curves on social media, Iskra responded that it doesn't matter what others think-- it matters what you think. You decide your happiness. She didn't become petty; she rose above the negative comments.

6. Before and After

Iskra has shared before and after pictures, but not your typical ones. She shared a picture when she was young and much thinner but said how unhappy she was mentally. Then, she showed a picture of her now and stated how much happier she is.

7. BODY CONFIDENCE

Need I say any more?! Iskra Lawrence has awesome confidence and spreads this so quickly with people. She has not helped only me but many others truly just be more confident and live the best life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
