Popular TV show host, Bolanle Olukanni has revealed why she finally fell in love with her stretch marks after years of seeing them as something that disfigures her.
According to her, the stretch marks which she has on her shoulders prevented her from wearing certain dresses.
However, overtime she got rid of the dislike as she embraced self-love. She made this known in an Instagram post as shared pictures to prove her point.
She wrote:
“I first got stretch marks on my shoulders when I had my first Growth spurt . I was probably 12. All my friends would wear tank tops and spaghetti tops and I felt like I had to cover my shoulders. It affected my confidence during my teenage years and I spent my early early adulthood hiding my shoulders. Well , I finally got over it and I realized it’s not a big deal . So to women and men who have stretch marks and feel self-conscious about it …please don’t – you are beautiful no matter what !#beautylook #growingpains #stretchmarks #flawsandall
