1. Rhianna
Birthday: February 20
Prior to a quick Google search, I would have guessed Rhianna was an Earth or Fire sign due to her crazy star power and fierce attitude. However, her album Anti is my favorite and best resembles the softer, more emotional side that Pisces is more known for.
2. Justin Bieber
Birthday: March 1
Pisces are known to be creative and expressive, so it's not shocking another iconic pop-star is on this list. Bieber had his fair share of love songs about heartbreak or how in love he is. His project with PURPOSE: The Movement enhances his artistry by adding professional dancers to interpret his music.
3. Olivia Wilde
Birthday: March 10
Humanitarian and "Renaissance" woman- talented actress; shows the more empathetic, compassionate side of a Pisces. She is an activist for "Artists for Peace and Justice" that supports creative work, education, healthcare through performing arts. She shares her passion, strengths, and talents to make the world a better place.
4. Steph Curry
Birthday: March 14
Changing the game with a very popular athlete. Aside from being noticeable in the NBA, Steph Curry has the most adorable family and relationship with his wife, showing the loving side of Pisces.
5. Millie Bobby Brown
Birthday: February 19
And switching back to entertainers because Pisces love the arts. Millie Bobby Brown is an incredibly talented, young actress. Her claim-to-fame character, Eleven in Stranger Things, is demanding, somewhat out of this world, and a little bizarre - perfect for a dreamlike Pisces.
6. Albert Einstein
Birthday: March 14
Super genius; changed the way we understand and perceive the world around us with his theories of relativity. He is proof Pisces isn't completely stuck in their own dream world or feelings. He has had his ups and downs in his youth. His intelligence was constantly doubted, but his different way of thinking changed modern physics.
7. George Washington
Birthday: February 18
Yes, the first president of the United States was a Pisces. #subtleflex
Ladies, Plastic Surgery ISN'T Worth The Boost In Self-Esteem And Here's Why
Plastic surgery is just as risky as other types of surgery.
Plastic surgery has been a trend for a while now, but lately, we've been seeing a lot more celebrities come out and talk about the work they've had done. YouTuber and singer, Queen Naija, made two videos about her recent tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift. Many fans appreciated her honesty and transparency, but others criticized her for sending a bad message to her young and impressionable fans, as well as for going under the knife too soon after giving birth (her son is only three months old).
An even bigger controversy comes from Cardi B, who had to cancel one of her shows due to complications from her recent liposuction procedure. Many of her fans are worried about her health, while others are angered and disappointed that she foolishly had a major procedure so close to one of her performance dates.
Any way you slice it — pun fullyintended — both ladies, and all who decide to have plastic surgery, are taking a major toll on their bodies and health. Celebrities get so much work done that they speak about it as if it is something as nonchalant as buying new furniture.

But here's the thing... it's not.
Of course, it's always better for celebrities to be transparent about their procedures. It reminds women and young girls that the "ideal body type" is usually unnatural and unattainable. However, with each celebrity that comes forward, plastic surgery is more normalized and seen as desirable, harmless, and natural, although in reality, plastic surgery carries as many risks as other forms of surgery, and requires extensive post-op care and rest and recovery time, something that many celebrities conveniently leave out of their discussions about their procedures.
R&B artist, K Michelle, removed her butt implants after experiencing major complications. In an interview with The Real, K Michelle says, "I did butt, I did hips... and now it's affecting my health... My butt is so big that my legs are not holding it. People don't talk about it. I've gone to doctors who don't want to touch it. I've found one doctor who is going to do it for me, [but] imagine if you don't have the money to get it out?"
Not only that, but a Florida woman died after experiencing a fat embolism (when fat enters the bloodstream) as a result of her Brazilian butt lift. Another Florida woman suffered permanent brain damage after experiencing a lack of oxygen while undergoing breast augmentation surgery. These may seem like outliers, but is the risk really worth it? People who have medical-related surgeries are going under the knife because they need to. They don't get to have a choice in the matter because it's necessary for their health. Women and young girls are putting their health at risk voluntarily. Is it really worth it to risk your life over appearances?
An even more significant part that celebrities omit about plastic surgery is that it isn't guaranteed to make you look better. Sometimes, you actually end up looking worse. Ayesha Curry — restaurant owner, professional chef, and pro-basketball player Steph Curry's wife — recently opened up about her "botched boob job." She states, "I came out with these bigger boobs I didn't want. I got the most botched boob job on the face of the planet. They're worse now than they were before... I would never do anything like that again."
"Botched" surgeries are more common than we tend to think — if they weren't, could there really be a whole TV show about it?
So many women and young girls tend to idealize plastic surgery. They think it will be a quick, magical "fix" to their insecurities and/or bring them more opportunities. However, dozens of women later come out to say that they regret their surgeries, either because it doesn't look good or it didn't accomplish what they wanted it to. Many women end up "botched" or dead because some plastic surgeons trick their patients into thinking they're board-certified when they're not, putting the patient's health and appearance at risk.

When we spin this narrative around plastic surgery, making it out to be just like any other type of beauty enhancement — or worse, some type of "empowering" action that will fix our problems — we're neglecting to realize how major of a decision deciding to go under the knife actually is. And worse, we're sending the message that to be beautiful and desirable you have to look just one way.
Surgery is meant to correct or prevent a problem — the way you naturally look is never a problem.
Ladies, always remember this: you don't need to look like every other IG model to feel good. And you damn sure don't have to endanger your health (and burn a hole in your pocket), trying to fit into an outdated and ridiculous beauty standard.
