Self-love is the Key to Happiness As women, our bodies go through various different stages. And throughout those stages, we tend to be extremely hard on our bodies not knowing how to love it properly.

It takes courage to realize self-worth and that no ones opinion about your body should matter. With that said, I wanted to share with you one woman's story that might change your perspective on every aspect of your body. The key is to never give up and learn to embrace every flaw on your body that you discover.

It's Skin Deep [embed]https://youtu.be/RXw-yIL55IQ[/embed] I received my first compliment in years on my skin and I almost teared up. They asked me what I had been doing and I told them eating more sweet potatoes.  In my research on skin types and texture, vitamin A kept popping up. Sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene which pretty much turns into Vitamin A once it ’s consumed. Sweet potatoes are also an anti-inflammatory food for my blood type which is a WIN all the way around for me.
