In this episode you'll hear Amanda + Kristin talking about selfies + Kristin's #Thursday3 weekly selfie challenge where she calls you to:
(1) take + post a photo of yourself,
(2) share three 'right now' things, and
(3) tag three of your friends to do the same
Kristin defends feeling awkward in photos, makes excellent points on why taking a photo of yourself is better than having others take a photo of you, & provides a tip for taking 'mirror' selfies!
"Selifes are - more than anything - a way to control your own image. In a world that really tries to control your own image especially women, especially women's bodies...take back control with photos of yourself." -- KRISTIN
