]]> Illustrator Allison Rachel has dedicated the past few years encouraging women to accept themselves just the way they are in a very creative way. She draws illustrations of ordinary women and writes quotes that other people can find relatable but are afraid to say out loud.  

According to Rachel, this project was a result of her own sadness and loneliness, which had caused her to reflect on her need to accept herself. Once she did, she tried to find a way to spread that feeling around – and boy did she succeeded! 

Though it’s only two years old, her Instagram profile has more than half a million followers. She posts her illustrated mantras almost every day, tackling problematic issues like racism, mental health, discrimination, and oppression.    

Add some self-love to your Instagram feed. You deserve it.

“Struggling with depression since I was a teen it took me years to unlearn a lot of ideas that I was socialized to believe, many of which were negatively impacting my mental health,” artist shared.  “I’m still figuring out how to be alive in this world but sharing my thoughts and realizations with others has proven to be a very rewarding process. The more I learn about how to live and love more fully the more I like to share my thoughts and realizations with my online community Recipes For Self Love.”

She has been running her Instagram account for about two years now where she gained over 453k followers.

Our society is obsessed with romantic love – we've had this stuff shoved down our throats from the time we were tiny watching Disney movies. The impact of this not only enforces heteronormativity and gender stereotypes but also leads us to believe that romantic love is the most important and we will be unfulfilled until we find our "other half". The truth is there are so many kinds of life-giving-loves that can bring joy every day. Remember you don't have to subscribe to all the V-day stuff – love yourself, love your friends, get yourself a nice body scrub, hell get your friend a nice body scrub, have a body scrub party and love your wonderfully smooth self. @frank_bod would be a good place to start. . . . #recipesforselflove #thefrankeffect #letsbefrank #ad #body #selflove #selfcare #loveyourself #youareperfect #valentinesday #valentine #effyourbeautystandards #feminism #lifestyle #instagood #feminsta #feminist #instagood #instalove #illustration #digital #drawing #love #design #graphic #art #quotes #yourself
