My Cosmopolitan UK X Evans Spread!
So! Earlier this year I was scrolling through my Instagram (as you do), feeling a bit glum and I came across a post from Cosmopolitan UK. They were doing their latest update of, what I now know as, the Curve Edit and wanted curvy women with style to submit a picture or two and a brief bio of their style icon for the opportunity to feature (Fun fact: I chose Sofia Vergara who just happened to be their cover star at the times - when fate aligns!). Imagine my genuine surprise when I was actually chosen. Yes, ladies and gents, I was one of the stars of the Curve Edit which ran in Cosmopolitan UK October Edition!
Whilst I have no plans to be a model (way too awkward and excitable lol) I can definitely say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The team at Cosmo were so friendly and really coached me through the different themes we had to do as part of the features. I also got to share the experiences with two beautiful ladies, Amelia and Sophie, who each brought something unique to the table. We shot both in London and on location in Camber Sands (so picturesque!) and I honestly had the best time from start to finish.
I think for me, this feature was particularly important because, time and time again, I see women who are so hard on themselves, which leads to a dangerous cycle of self-depreciation. However, if I have any opportunity to encourage others to work through it like I'm doing now, I will. Everyone's path is different, and some opportunities won't come at the perfect time, but, my God, you have to grab them! I remember seeing the magazine and smiling at how much had changed since then but I (and millions or others!) have proof to say "I got through that!"
