Welcome

Hey there! I'm Paula, a passionate girl with a heart full of melodies, a strong advocate for ending diet culture, and a believer in embracing your true natural self. Growing up in the Dominican Republic where image is a huge aspect of the culture, I felt scared to embrace my true self. 10-year-old Paula would get blowouts every week because she hated her curls, go on numerous diets because she hated her body, and shut down her vibrant personality, fearing others would not approve of her. During the pandemic, my relationship with food and exercise became extremely restrictive and addictive at times. I did not recognize the person I was becoming, the girl that the only thing she cared about was her image and how the others perceived her. From the day I realized that this life of restriction and unhappiness is not a life of joy, I became an advocate of healing and recovery. In a world that often promotes unrealistic standards, I stand firm in embracing and celebrating all body types. My content reflects this commitment, encouraging others to love and appreciate themselves for who they are. I aim to dismantle the toxic culture surrounding diets and instead focus on fostering a community that uplifts and supports each other. My journey is a testament to the power of self-love, authenticity, and the joy that comes from embracing the diverse passions that make us who we are. Join me on this crazy adventure we call life, and let's create a safe world where everyone can embrace their authentic selves!
