Tiyani rikhotso wife showing her body

It's important to embrace our natural bodies — and that's exactly why a model proudly flaunted her bare skin. Ariella Nyssa is a body positive influencer known for sharing self-love advice, which is why she boasts more than , Instagram followers. Recently, she shared an unedited video which showed close-up shots of her whole body — and she did so for a very important reason.

The influencer, who's known for opening up about body image , went make-up free and zoomed in on unfiltered parts of her body - from her face to her hips to her eyes. She did this to show her skin marks, cellulite, the hairs on her face and the wrinkles on her skin. Even though the clip carried a poignant message, Ariella admitted editing and posting the video really "tested her soul".

It forced her to think a lot about her own insecurities.

As I weave, I reflect on

Alongside the clip, Ariella wrote: "I've thought about people in my life seeing this, people on the internet and judging me. Judging me for all of these things I usually hide because of society's expectations of beauty. Posting the things I'm insecure about takes the power of societal beauty standards anyway. It gives me my power back. Then this is beautiful and real.

I hope this helps you see how beautiful you are - that your insecurities make you imperfectly perfect, and that you are enough. Since she shared the post, more than 11, people have liked it and left positive comments. People really appreciate how transparent Ariella is with her powerful posts.
