Pretty in Pink! Iskra Lawrence Flaunts Her Killer Curves While Enjoying Some Water Park Fun

In addition to photos like this being *major* fitspiration, we also love (love, love) the fact that Iskra looks the same here as she does on social media. After all, in a world where Facetune and Photoshop reign supreme, it’s hard to trust your favorite influencers to be their 100 percent authentic selves. 

Thankfully, that’s not the case with Iskra! Question is, what made her decide to go against the status quo? “It was a combination of so many things,” she explained to Life & Style while promoting her new TELETIES x Iskra Lawrence hair tie collaboration.

“I feel like I needed it for myself in the sense that holding myself to a perfect ideal every single day on social media, it would be so draining and tiring and not good for my mental health as someone who has been through an eating disorder,” Iskra continued. “For me, to just be able to be real, it’s just a very healthier, balanced way to live.”

A healthier, balanced way to live, indeed! “When I meet people, they don’t have these unrealistic expectations of me,” Iskra added. “They already have seen the real me. So that, for me, is a weight off of my shoulders.” 

Don’t get it twisted, though. Iskra is only human. “I still think that there is a part of you that still struggles — even as real as you can be — you still want to put the picture with the best lighting and with the cutest background, and I think you will never get away from that, and you have to just be aware of that online,” she admitted. “There is nothing wrong with that and again, as long as you are honest about it.”

*Inserts several clapping emojis.* We so appreciate Iskra’s unwavering dedication to being her true self — it’s a rarity these days! Keep slaying the game, girl. You’re an inspiration to us all.
