Meet Jasmine!

I am a wife, a mom to two boys, and a little baby girl. I'm a hairdresser of 14 years and an online hair care sharer! When I was young, I tried to hide myself and my body features. I thought I was too tall, too busty, too big, and didn't want to stand out. As I matured and grew into my body, I started to seek out what I loved about my body and soul instead of picking myself apart. Confidence slowly grew as I was acknowledged for my athletic ability it led me to receive a college volleyball scholarship.

As life went on, sports ended, I started my career and met my husband later on. I also found out it would be very difficult for me to have children due to the polycystic ovarian syndrome that I had been officially diagnosed with. For five years my husband and I battled infertility. I was on several meds and shots and treatments, I had my hopes crushed month after month. I felt so broken physically and spiritually because my body that I had learned to love over the years was now failing me. I desperately tried to seek out everything I could do to change to make my body do what it was supposed to do. I struggled to love myself again. One day my dear sweet husband said..."Honey, we will have kids, I don't know when and I don't know how..but we will. But first, you have to stop picking yourself apart and punishing yourself! You have to quit trying to find the reasons God hasn't given you a baby... Maybe it has nothing to do with you and it's just not the right time."

After he said that, I felt a burden lifted. For the first time I thought..it's not my body's fault. I started speaking kindly to myself and my body, and that confidence slowly came back and stress was relieved. Before I knew it, I was pregnant with my son Lawson. Since then we have been blessed with another fertility treatment baby and one spontaneous pregnancy. Ironically after having babies, I have never loved my body more than I do now! I know it truly is a gift from my Heavenly Father and he has entrusted me to care for it and love it. I am so grateful and proud of myself, and the days of picking myself apart are over. I will stand proud and let my kids see it too.
