Why I Don't Want Kendall Jenner's Body

It's not worth it.

Why I Don't Want Kendall Jenner's Body

Let me say it again: I don't want Kendall Jenner's body.

Some people might think I'm crazy. She's slender, has legs for days, and can pull off any outfit. With the recent announcement that the sought-after model will be walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year with her best friend, Gigi Hadid, girls everywhere will be Googling "how to get Kendall Jenner's body" or "what workouts does Kendall Jenner do?"

Laxatives.

Yes, I'm serious. Kendall Jenner has admitted that she drinks 12 cups of detox green tea a day. Detox teas often have the same effects and ingredients as laxatives. Laxatives, when abused (or, you know, consumed through 12 cups of tea a day), can cause a plethora of health issues. Overconsumption can cause damage to your internal organs, most notably the colon, kidneys, and heart. It can also cause your body to become dependent on laxatives in order to have bowel movements. Not to mention, laxative abuse increases your risk of various types of cancer. The laxative effect of detox teas can also negatively affect your birth control pills, thus putting you at risk for unwanted pregnancy.

With all the negative effects detox teas can have on her body, one would think that Kendall Jenner would want to stop this body-destroying nonsense and detox from the detox. However, Kendall's at an all-time high right now in the modelling world. She has finally earned the wings she's always wanted. She's modeled for Forever 21, Teen Vogue, Vogue, Sherri Hill, American Cheerleader, Marc Jacobs, and countless other designers, magazines, and stores. She has become the modeling industry's "it" girl. In the modeling world, that kind of success comes with a time limit -- on average, three months. In order to stay relevant, models must maintain their tall, slender bodies, often forcing them to starve themselves, go on fad diets, or (you guessed it) drink 12 cups of detox tea each day.

One more time: I don't want Kendall Jenner's body.

Sure, I may carry a few extra pounds on my stomach and thighs, but I'm also not killing myself slowly with detox teas or doing other dangerous things to lose weight. I'd rather be carrying a bit of extra weight than damaging my internal organs.

Kendall Jenner, you're beautiful on the outside, but I can only imagine the damage you're causing to the inside of your body.

One last time: I don't want Kendall Jenner's body.

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.
