Sive O'Brien

If you haven’t heard of Constance Hall, you need to get on her social media pages, fast. She’s one witty mummy blogger, followed and revered for her realistic take on Motherhood. We can identify…

Happy to chat openly about the daily struggles of being a mum, her witty retorts have gained her a real following, so she has taken the opportunity to call out to other mums to share snaps of themselves, just as flawed as she is via a cool hashtag, #likeaqueen.

She uploaded a picture of her in her underwear calling women to ‘Love yourself the way you want your daughters, nieces, friends kids to love themselves, calling on women to value their self-worth:

“She’s flawed,
She swears,

She has a past and she owns that shit,

Because she’s a fucking queen”

The brilliant post has been liked over 35,000 times. She’s right behind this one, adding:

“Take a picture of yourselves, a picture that society has deemed you unfit for because you’re too old or skinny or fat or you’ve had too many kids or not confident enough or for whatever reason you have been made to feel like you don’t deserve to love your body or yourself. An undie shot, bathers shot, a grape-eating shot being fanned by a naked Greek man shot, whatever”.

“Hashtag #likeaqueen and yes, nominate your spectacular queen friends. And let us sit around drinking self-worth a queen vibes from a champagne glass. Because our royal bodies deserve so much more”

Well said, Constance. Are you a Queen? Will you nominate your queenies?

We’re off to try anyway. We may not be drinking the champagne, only because it’s a school-night, but we can definitely get behind the cake part. And the Queen part. And we’re working on the loving our bodies part. We are…

Like a queen you guysShe’s flawed, She swears, She eats the cake!! She has a past and she owns that shit,She’s…
