Strike A Pose!

Hey Y'all! Hope you are having a great week. So this week has been super busy for me, between music, school, and oh yeah, modelling shoots. I was asked if I wanted to be a model for a photoshoot at a local college so I said sure! I arrived there and had a blast! It was themed around a bride and her girls (bridesmaids). It was so much fun playing with different poses and acting like A pro Kylie Jenner. I think I am still seeing flashes when I blink! I have done a few other modelling positions prior to this one so I was not new to it. I knew my way around a studio and striking all the "right" poses. One photographer mentioned how pro I seemed to move; a compliment for sure ! I don't model for attention but more to have a good time, which I always do. When I flip through magazines all I ever seem to see is the idea the world has labelled as the "perfect girl". I've never been a size 2, nor will I ever be. I've always been well proportioned you could say. I am what they would classify as a plus model or a curvy model. It's not the outfits, the makeup, or the way a dress fits that pops, it's the confidence. For the longest time , I would envy and look at other women only wishing I could resemble a stick. Oh how that has changed. If I could change the way I look today, I woulden't for a million dollars. I love the way I am. I hadn't always, but I do now. I'm not trying to sound conceited or full of myself but I believe confidence is the best look on anyone. Being content with who YOU are. So yeah, I might be a lil thick, but I love it! And I encourage everyone to embrace their differences and their natural beauty. Because you have it ! Modelling will forever be a favourite thing of mine to do. Anyone can do it. That means YOU! Love who you are because who you are is amazing. Strike that pose and own it!! - A xo

If Life's A Movie, Where's The Popcorn?

Have you ever heard someone say "life is like a movie, you just sit back and enjoy the show"? Well, I sure have. I remember a number of years ago I was at a local theatre only to walk in and see a line for the consession stand all the way to both doors. Ugh, who wants to wait in line that long? Not me! So I proceeded into the theatre to find my seat ..without any snacks. I'm all for going to see movies in the theatres but who goes in without a snack?! Apparently I did. As I sat down all I could think about was munching on some popcorn and drinking a cold pop. I was irritated but it beat standing in line for forever. Soon enough, the lights began to fade and people started to quiet , the movie was starting. I don't think even a happy meal from McDonalds could have lightened my mood. So after about 2 hours of sitting watching a movie-without a snack, it was over. I was hungry, annoyed and just so done with the consession stand workers (even though they did nothing), sou...

Introducing Me!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to My Blog. My name is Abby, and I'm 17 years old. I have always thought the idea of having a blog would be so neat. From the bloggers who over ecstatically give bits and pieces to the well, hacks of life to the ones who use it as an outlet to realease their most transparent thoughts. Hate to break the ice this way, but I'm neither. I think that digging deep into how we genuinely feel and acknowledging that No, we're not perfect and Yes, we will be thrown curveballs in life is completely ok. As I thought of what to name my blog, I had some rather strange ideas, such as : popcorntobutter , like what does that even mean?! It finally came to me. I chose to name it Diamonds Pearls And Problems because let's face it, life is certainly not glitter and diamonds all the time. This blog is aimed mainly towards the attention of women,  but can be for anyone. We all have those questions in life, the ones we never seem to get answers to. Ya know , the ones th...

Hey, I'm Back

Hey ya'll. I firstly want to apologize for this INSANELY late post, life has been...SUPER busy, and SUPER dramatic to say the least. A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. So, where to start? weeelll, my life has been nothing short of complicated. I started this incredible new life here at KU, and am loving it here, though homework load is slowly crushing my every inch of sanity. Oh, yeah I broke up with my ( ex) boyfriend of two and a half years, guess that's recent. Why did I do this, you ask? I had known for a long time that we were not meant to be together, maybe for a short time, but I knew we were not supposed to be together forever. Yeah, that was hard. I had a lot of support through it, though. My parents offered a lot of support, my best friend, and some friends from school. One in particular really was/is a huge help and support, not sure how I would have gotten through this without him, not to sound overdramatic or anything, but really that's the t...
