When the glam is just too good 🥵 So excited to have @arosehairandmakeup as part of my glam team for my Self love + Modeling workshop THIS weekend! We completely SOLD OUT- but I opened up a couple more spots for anyone who wasn’t able to get a spot! You can go to TessHolliday.com to secure your spot or link in bio ✨ Can’t wait to do what I love most- mentor, connect & meet y’all! 🩷🩵💛💚💜💙 #effyourbeautystandards #selfloveclub #selflove #modelsofinstagram #modelingworkshop #plussizemodel #plussizebeauty #ilysm Los Angeles, California
Everybody wasn’t meant to get off at your stop 🖤
It’s been a long road, but I’m finallyyyy DIVORCED & I feel more myself than ever! I know some of y’all are gonna be like “y’all seemed so happy” – the grass always looks greener from afar. For so long I suffered in silence- I convinced myself that my needs, my mental health & my boundaries weren’t important. For over a decade you’ve all heard me say how important it is to take care of YOU, but until a couple years ago I wasn’t able to do the same for myself. I could talk about the friends I shed along the way, the frequent moments I felt like a fraud because I was holding a dark truth & then pretending online like I had the easiest life.
So much shame has weighed me down, so many intrusive thoughts told me that I deserved to be unhappy, & if it wasn’t for beautiful friends & family like @razor_heartz @evilpork666 , & Liv … I most certainly would’ve drowned in it all.
I can’t say that I’d do it all again just to end up here, because I’m certain that there were far easier & kinder ways to learn the same lessons. But I am grateful that I am in a place now that allows me to take in the gift that is my life. The beauty, the happiness, and the abundance that has & continues to pour in from all of the seeds planted.
For anyone who hasn’t or is trying to get to this chapter in their life, where you see yourself clearly or can breathe deeply again. I’m here to show you that the grass is greener – wherever YOU water it. Never shrink yourself, never settle & know you deserve the most beautiful garden in the world.

When I shot these photos with @bonnienichoalds it was such a beautiful reminder that just because the industry stopped prioritizing bodies like mine, doesn’t make me any less of a force to be reckoned with.
I love these photos, & being in front of the camera always feels like home.
P.S. the last photo reminds me of my @people cover nearly 10 years ago 🥹 Here’s to more covers with more diverse bodies🤞
