    OnTheBeach: Be Fully, Beautifully, Unashamedly You

    I was reading this post by Leonie Dawson, and I just loved how fully, beautifully, unashamedly Leonie she is. She makes no apology for who she is, what she does, and what she likes. Her sacred mantra: if they don’t like it/me, fuckem! I love this woman – I have been a member of her…
