Who wants to look good naked? Don’t be shy, go ahead and raise your hand. We’ve all been there, from donning our first swimsuit of the season (albeit a healthy dose of self-tanner) on Memorial Day to even getting frisky for the first time with our new partner. The first thing we think about is, “do I look good?”
It’s a reasonable question, in our society; we’re all striving for perfection whether in our looks, our job, or even our relationship. We’ve got standards held up as high as the Eiffel Tower all around us, telling us who we should and shouldn’t be.
None of those messages are going to help you to look good naked.
Let’s focus on feeling like a rock star… feeling like a pinup girl…and feeling like the sexy vixen you really are. All that Mac mascara is simply icing on the cake!
1. Let Go: Put down the Botox, the Cosmo magazine and especially the mirror. It’s time to let go of the criticisms that you’ve long held onto about yourself. It’s time to drop some imaginary concept of
perfection (ie. legs like Heidi Klum, a butt like Beyoncé, and abs like Cameron Diaz), and instead look at the mirror to discover the allure that is your authentic self.
I bet when you are really honest with yourself, you’ve got fantastic hair, a great smile, a killer, smoldering gaze and your butt really isn’t all the bad. We need to let go of the negative messages that are no longer serving us to let the torch of our true beauty burn bright.
2. Confidence: We always hear that confidence is key. And it’s true. It’s a huge element of feeling fearless in the boardroom or even the kitchen. But how do we cultivate our confidence to feel our best?
Take a moment to think of three things that make you feel confident and sexy, maybe it’s twerking in your Zumba class, wearing black, lacy lingerie, or even talking dirty with your partner. Use these three experiences as your inspiration to bring more sexy into your everyday. Even the way you walk. As you practice building your confidence, your true personality will naturally cultivate and grow.
3. Visualization: Oh, this is a good one, probably my secret to success. Visualization is the fine art of creating a picture in your mind or even playing out an event before it happens. This is good stuff.
Here’s how it works: If I asked you to go grocery shopping to make an Italian dinner, you can probably picture in your mind the store you would need to go to, the parking spot you would pick, and the aisles you would stroll down to get the good mozzarella and focaccia to make a feast.
Now, I want you to use these same skills to picture yourself for your boudoir shoot. How would you do your hair and make-up? What outfits (or even your hubby’s dress shirt) would you wear? Even better, picture yourself in poses that highlight your killer assets—including that smoldering look. By visualizing a situation before it happens, we give ourselves a unique opportunity to take the anxiety out of the actual experience ahead of time.
The truth is… the best was to look good naked is to feel good first. [Tweet it!] When you’re just being yourself, people are drawn to you. Allowing yourself to go there in a boudoir shoot will translate into unshakable confidence.

What makes me feel good in my skin? A good night’s rest and a clear head to tackle the day ahead, coconut oil on my skin to literally feel good in my skin, dancing to any beat (even the one made from the rhythm of my husband chopping onions), eating well, running, yoga, laughing often, making decisions by following my moral compass and intuition, always being genuine, trying my best to focus on the positive, and realizing that I am the only one that can truly make me happy. These things make me feel good, confident, and help me to walk tall and feel as though I can conquer the world.
