From Guatemala to Los Angeles and Into Her Own Skin

Arielle moved from Guatemala to Los Angeles at six years old. Now 28 she looks back on years of comparing her curvy petite body to ideals that were never made for her. Skinny legs. Flat stomach. Thigh gap. All the measurements she thought defined beauty. Over time she learned that chasing those shapes only blurred her own.

Strength Not Perfection

(Her Instagram workout video offers a look into her typical training day.)

Fitness became her turning point. Not a punishment or a chase for thinness but a practice of strength and resilience. Her body 5 foot 1 and 107 pounds with curves and softness began to feel powerful rather than inadequate. She no longer wished for a body that was not hers. She built one she could recognize.

The No Makeup Bare Shoot

Her most defining moment came during her OBARE no makeup photoshoot. No foundation. No retouch. Just skin and light. She stood topless raw and unfiltered under the camera and for the first time she saw herself without construction or cover. The image was not made to flatter. It was made to see.

In that quiet moment her body became a canvas. Curves and stretch marks and soft texture became evidence of a natural woman’s form instead of flaws to conceal.

What She Learned When Nothing Was Hidden

Going Bare gave her clarity. Her body did not need to be edited or minimized to be beautiful. Confidence was not created. It was uncovered.

“These natural aspects are beautiful testaments to the realness of the female body,” Arielle says.

A Message For Woman

For anyone struggling to love their body, Arielle’s advice is simple but powerful:

“Embrace your uniqueness, for you were born perfect.”

Her story is a reminder that identity is not built by trends but by truth. Natural beauty lasts longer than perfection ever will.
