This Group Proved They Don't Get Body-Shaming by Photoshopping Celebs Skinnier

Real talk here: have you ever heard a celebrity get slammed for looking fit or slim? Nope, neither have I - though I have seen plenty of tabloids blasting celebs for "packing on the pounds," "eating their post-breakup feelings," or having the "worst bikini body of the year." The fact is, the world praises skinny, toned bodies and barely tolerates ones that don't fit the traditional look. The people behind this new web project must live in an alternate reality because Project Harpoon is photoshopping bigger women thinner to "combat skinny-shaming." Remind me when that became a societal problem?

Project Harpoon is "fighting back" against our culture of "fat acceptance," which founder Nick Baskins believes does ridiculous things like give women realistic bodies video games. According to dear, delusional Nick, seeing images of overweight women who don't conform to a slim ideal encourages people to abandon healthy living and exercising, because simply seeing an overweight person makes you no longer care about your own well-being.

Nick's insists that the point of this project is that being obese is not healthy, and therefore images of obese people should not be considered "beautiful." That's wrong on so many levels: being obese may be a health risk, but so are a whole lot of other things, many of which have nothing to do with ones size. In fact, many people can "slim down" in ways that are far more dangerous than staying at a higher weight. Health and weight don't always go hand-in-hand, so why are we shaming obese people for their alleged poor health?


Project Harpoon suggests that women shouldn't feel or look beautiful when they are bigger because of their alleged "unhealthy weight," but that's total crap: everyone has the right to embrace their beauty, no matter what the scale says. It's pathetic that Project Harpoon is attempting to take away the very small sphere that bigger women get to show off their beauty - way to body-shame, you guys.

There is good news here: Project Harpoon's Facebook and Instagram account were shut down by both sites, because apparently not everyone sees the value in this photoshopping venture. The only thing that needs to be harpooned in this case is the site's bizarre body-shaming ideology.

Not long after becoming the new face of the Chanel, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' daughter appeared to come out in a subtle way via Instagram Monday, posting a shot of herself posing with two other people for the Self Evident Truths Project. "#weareyou @iolovesyou @selfevidentproject," she captioned the shot.

A photo posted by Lily-Rose Depp (@lilyrose_depp) on

The project, created by artist iO Tillett Wright, is a "photographic document of 10,000 people in the USA that identify as ANYTHING OTHER than 100% straight," according to its website. It continues, "If you are anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum in ANY way, even 1% gay, we want to take your picture!"

The purpose of the project is to "humanize" the LGBTQ community, make it harder for people to discriminate against them and spread "awareness and understanding about a broader spectrum of human sexuality."
After Lily participated in the project, Tillett couldn't help but gush about her involvement, posting a pic of them together, writing, "I'm so proud of my baby girl @lilyrose_depp. She decided she wanted to be in @selfevidentproject because she falls somewhere on the vast spectrum, and I couldn't be happier to welcome her to the family. She's a tiny gem of a good human. #prouduncle #weareyou."

It takes a lot of courage to be open and honest about who you are, and we're giving Lily-Rose major props for doing that, and also for shedding light on such an inspiring initiative.

These Women Are Going Topless in Times Square For an Important Reason

Inequality between the sexes isn't always as obvious as it once was (we're now allowed to own property and vote, like the human beings we are) but that doesn't mean that the fight for equal rights is over. There are plenty of subtle ways that women experience sexism, and one of them has to do with having to cover up things that guys rarely get asked to - like our chests. Now women in New York are fighting against such an archaic, accepted societal rule by - what else? - going topless.

For the past two weeks, women in Times Square have been shedding their bras in favor of body paint, armed with signs like "Women's breasts are family friendly!" in order to protest this double standard, which is exactly what this whole "let's hide our boobs" thing really is. Despite the fact that toplessness has been legal in New York for 23 years, it's still considered "indecent" by the general public. Not so with guys, of course. Would you freak out if you saw a dude running through the park sans-shirt? You probably wouldn't even bat an eye - in fact, a movie could have 200 shirtless guys and still garner a G-rating. Meanwhile, society has sexualized women's breasts so much that seeing a woman's uncovered chest is considered obscene.Image may be NSFW.

You don't have to want to strip off your clothes in public in order to agree that those facts are pretty messed up. Think about how stars like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna have been censored on apps like Instagram for sharing photos of themselves sans-nipple coverage, while pretty much every male celebrity ever gets cheered for sharing their own shirtless selfies. (Looking at you, Biebs.) There's nothing wrong with displaying your body in whatever way you choose, but why is it just women who are hypersexualized to the point where their nipples cause global panic?

The topless protesters in Times Square are standing up for women everywhere with their shirtless campaign, and there's absolutely nothing obscene about that. Sometimes a nipple really is just a nipple, you know?

Watch Chris Brown Get a Huge Tattoo on His Head

Chris Brown just took his tattoo game up a notch with his latest piece of body art.

The "Liquor" singer inked a huge tat on the back of his head of what looks like the face of Venus De Milo, and it's so large that it takes up almost half the back of his head. Chris had to shave a huge chunk of hair off his head to do it, and showed off a few pics of the tat Tuesday morning after it was complete (and later deleted them).

#NewTattooAlert : Are we feeling #ChrisBrown 's new head tattoo?

A photo posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoominc) on

Even though Chris deleted those photos, pics and videos of him getting it done are still floating around the Internet. In one video posted by The Shade Room, Chris can be seen getting the tattoo done and then dancing with a friend in the parlor afterwards. The comments soon rolled in. "The worst idea ever Chris. Why did he do that?," one person wrote. "I feel like this is a cry for help," someone else wrote, while another simply said "why."

We wish we had the answer. Venus de Milo is an ancient Greek statue that is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, but it's not clear why Chris needed to ink that on his head to prove his love for the statue and/or what it stands for. It's sort of a surprise that he didn't ink his adorable daughter Royalty's face on his head, if it's not already somewhere on his body.
Nevertheless, it's no secret Chris loves body art. He has tats all over his body, including on his neck, back, chest arms and hands. Back in 2012, he stirred up controversy when he got a neck tattoo of what appeared to be a beaten woman that looked like his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

His rep later told ABC News that it was not her and was a "sugar skull (associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead) and a MAC cosmetics design he saw."

We can't even imagine what kind of tattoo he's going to get next.

There Is a Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Costume and People Are Pissed

Some Halloween costume companies are trying to capitalize on Caitlyn Jenner's transition and are selling a Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume.

:::BRB, Rage break::::

Not surprisingly, the costume caused such backlash that some companies appear to have pulled them from their lineup. One company even went so far as to create an Olympian costume with a sash that said "Call Me Caitlyn," referencing the former Olympian's Vanity Fair debut. That "costume" appears to no longer be available, but BuzzFeed got a screengrab while it still was and you can see it here if you feel so inclined.

Spirit Halloween claims that the costume will celebrate the 65-year-old, not make fun of her. "Caitlyn Jenner has proven to be the most important real-life superhero of the year," Spirit Halloween's rep told The Daily News. "Spirit Halloween is proud to carry the costume that celebrates her."

For what it's worth, Anytime Costumes, one of the companies making a Cait costume, categorizes it as "humorous," so there's that. There has already been a Change.org petition started, which is a petition to Spirit Halloween, asking them to "Stop Exploiting Caitlyn Jenner With a Transphobic Costume," and it had been signed by 2,759 people at the time this article was published.

People are also making their feelings known on Twitter: As of right now, Spirit Halloween doesn't plan on removing the costume from their stores.

The singer surprised all her fans and inner bad-bitches when she invited Alanis Morissette on stage to perform with her the baddest breakup song of all time, "You Oughta Know."

As Alanis took the stage, Tay Tay credited her as a major source of inspiration. "She defined the music of her decade. She inspired a generation of confessional female singer-songwriters who all of a sudden felt like you could actually say these raw feelings that you had; you could actually sing about your real life, you could put detail to it," she said.

Taylor added, "And I think it's fair to say that so many of the female singer-songwriters of my generation, including myself, would not write
the way that we do without her and her music. And she has written some of the most brilliant music-in particular probably inarguably the greatest breakup song of all-time."

Taylor was of course referring to the scathing song Alanis wrote years ago. It's allegedly about her crappy relationship with Full House's Dave Coulier...you know, Joey Gladstone!

Playing it cool in a fedora and ISF t-shirt, Ian wasn't intimidated by the audience of three thousand screaming fans - not to mention those streaming the panel live on CONtv. Not only is Ian genuinely one of the most kind people I've ever met, he is a philanthropist, immensely appreciative of his fans, and - most importantly - an advocate of #fiercewomen.

During the panel, Ian touched on his character Damon and what we can expect in the upcoming seventh season. He discussed how the creators and writers of the show have had his character's journey mapped out from the beginning of the series, saying that Damon can't just be the, "one-trick pony and villain" for seven years.

Elaborating on how grateful he was that he's been able to play this staple character on television, he gave most of his thanks to one of the show creators, Julie Plec. He raved about her success as a female show runner in a male-dominated industry, calling out her achievements of launching not one, not two, but three shows on The CW Network (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and formerly The Tomorrow People.) Rumor has it she has another new pilot coming to the network as well, a series titled Condon.

For those that aren't aware of the lack of women leadership in the entertainment industry, Julie's feats are impressive and something all of us aspiring #fiercefemales should look up to. Ian encouraged the audience to take Julie's accomplishments and apply them to their own dreams:

"Empowered, educated women will change the f**cking world. Period. Let's focus on them."


When one of Ian's fans from the audience asked him a question and stated she was a teacher for middle school students, Ian made a point to praise her focus on education and empowering young students to achieve their dreams and change the world, "You're a teacher? Thank you. You give so much and you get so little. Really, thank you."

Could this guy be any more encouraging? He was humble when talking about his efforts to empower the world's youth through the ISF, his foundation that aims to "empower, educate and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures", but it's worth acknowledging that he uses his platform as a super-celeb to empower the world's young generation to make a difference. Take note, Damon lovers: The real-life Damon wants you to set goals and be the most badass version of yourself.

Let me know, #fiercefemales: What inspires you to change the world? Tweet me @ekpochop!

Why the Alabama Alpha Phis Shouldn't Apologize

Clik here to view. The media wasted no time dropping the latest Greek scandal into my lap. A sorority recruitment video was sparking outrage of all kinds, prompting the Alabama chapter of Alpha Phi to quickly remove it. That, however, did not stop it from circulating the Internet at lightning speed, causing The University of Alabama's communications office to leap into a PR frenzy.

"This video is not reflective of UA's expectations for student organizations to be responsible digital citizens." - University of Alabama spokesperson

In a time when, on the other side of Greek Row, fraternities are garnering national outrage for racist chants and misogynistic banners, I am, quite frankly, shocked that a university spokesperson felt obliged to make a statement about this video. "Responsible digital citizens?" These women spend a majority of the video smiling, laughing and enjoying each other's company. The last time I turned on any cable TV channel, opened any magazine or walked down a billboard-filled city street, bikinis were not illegal.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. Alabama SororitiesWhy are many people so furious about this video? A.L. Bailey offers some insight, calling the video "worse for women than Donald Trump," describing it as "so hyper-feminine, so reductive and objectifying, so Stepford Wives: College Edition. It's all so ... unempowering."

Hyper-feminine? Is that even a phrase we can properly use, in a time when we debate the meaning of gender norms altogether and urge young women to be who they want to be, ultimately making that decision for themselves? Do we really feel comfortable encouraging young women and then lashing out when they make what someone might personally think is the wrong choice? Are we really here to police this?

Brilliant writer and actress Amy Poehler said it best: "It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for." The women of Alpha Phi's Alabama chapter are being asked to do just that; apologize. And for what, at the very core? Being confident? Having fun? Some may call my opinion, as a sorority woman myself, biased. Maybe I am since the lasting friendships and leadership experiences that my sorority gave me have made me who I am today.

But when I see this video's controversy, I see a debate over female objectification and personal agency. Did my sorority recruit new members by making videos of ourselves blowing glitter while having dance parties in white dresses and bikinis? Well, no. But I like to think that, in the 21st century, we could have if we wanted to. We could make that choice without fear of being treated differently, just as we, as a society, are now deciding that a female student should not be penalized if her collar bone is deemed a threat to the attention spans of pubescent boys, or that the way a woman dresses is never an invitation for sexual assault. Isn't that what modern feminism is about at its core?

"Are they recruiting a diverse and talented group of young women embarking on a college education? Upon first or even fifth glance, probably not. [...] did they realize they are a group of young women blessed with potential who are selling themselves, and each other, short?"

I find A.L.'s words very interesting, considering no information about this sorority chapter's academic or philanthropic records is mentioned in the video. She's making assumptions about these women based purely on their appearances. Selling themselves short - how? By having blonde hair? By wearing a bikini? By being silly with their friends? Do women need to wear scholarly robes and nun habits to be taken seriously? A.L. seems to think so.

"Were they satisfied with being the commodity?" she demanded, alluding to the creepy, entitled men she imagines watching the video, deciding that this is the basis for how they will ultimately objectify and disrespect women. I wonder what A.L. suggests as the alternative: No bikini dancing or hair flipping to provoke these "hormonal college-aged guys?" Or what if, instead, we taught our young men that even the girls who dance around in swimsuits deserve to be treated with respect? Shouldn't that be the actual focus?

A.L.'s response is part of the problem.

Surprised? Yeah, we were too, but honestly, Nick and Demi could sing just about anything and we'd just about lose our ish over it.

When Nick recently chatted to On Air with Ryan Seacrest, he revealed, "She and I have written a bunch of songs that we've always said that at some point in time we're going to release. Kind of a broken down side-project. Something a bit more, in the sort of folk zone, really about the vocals, just showcasing. The depth and the friendship and what that relates to...and the artistry."

OMG, that sounds beyond...

As for Demi joining Nick on stage while he's on tour, don't count it out, as he explained, "I'd love to have her come out."

He gushed over the experience of singing with Taylor Swift recently, calling it "awesome," but whether she'll repay the favor and sing at his concert, we're not so sure.

Nick explained, "I would love to have her," joking, "I think she's doing just fine on her own."

Oh, and the fashion crowd's favorite street style stars totally seem to be on board too.

For an elevated look, heels are a great way to keep your ensemble polished, but flats can look just as chic too! Flats, platforms or somewhere in between, the key is to pick a shoe that has lots of strappy details. We're OBSESSED with this lace-up pair ($70, Missguided)! Here, an elegant ankle strap or delicate T-strap goes a long way - it adds a feminine touch to the otherwise normcore-esque look. (Not to mention the straps keep you from sliding around when you walk!)

Picking the perfect pair of socks is a little simpler. Ideally, you'll want them to hit mid-calf so you can wear them slouchy and scrunched down to keep things on the effortless side. We love a statement-making chunky knit ($14, Urban Outfitters), or if you're feeling brave (you trendsetter, you!) try a bold pattern!

As for the rest of your outfit, the socks-with-sandals trend is best worn with pieces that show off your legs - think mini dresses, skirts and shorts. Keeping the rest of your look on the simpler side will allow your footwear to be the star of the show!

The reboot comes with the same nostalgic humor and characters, but this time leads with three females, unlike the original show that had three male leads: Danny, Uncle Jesse, and Uncle Joey. Jodie Sweetin, who plays middle child Stephanie Tanner, reprises her role along with Candice Cameron as big sister DJ Tanner and Andrea Barber who plays the iconic Kimmy Gibler. I had the pleasure of sitting in on Jodie's panel at Wizard World Comic Con Chicago this past weekend, where she talked about the reboot, the unauthorized Lifetime movie, and the importance of learning to love yourself.

While we didn't get any specifics on Fuller House other than what's been officially announced by Netflix (the dirty details are on lockdown), Jodie did share how lucky she is to be on set with her on-screen family again, even though they see each other on a regular basis. The premise of the show focuses on characters DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy all coming together after the death of DJ's husband - similar to the original Full House, where DJ's mother passed and her dad had her two uncles move in with the family.

What is not so familiar, according to Jodie, is the unauthorized Lifetime movie, "The Unauthorized Full House Story." Jodie states, "don't believe everything you see," and pretty much alluded that the film is complete bullsh*t. Coming from the network that cancelled the fantastic Witches of East End, I'm not surprised. #TeamAuthorizedFullHouse

The shift to an all-female lead for the Fuller House reboot is on-trend with the entertainment industry's continued focus on #fiercefemales, with new shows releasing this year like Supergirl and Blindspot. The show will most likely tackle issues that women in particular deal with, which should be a refreshing spin on the original show.

While praising her time spent on Full House, Jodie talked about the struggles she had growing up in the spotlight and finding work after the series' end. Dealing with several slammed doors post-Full House, Jodie stated, "If you don't like yourself, this industry can tear you apart. I had to learn to love myself."

We can all take a note from Jodie's book and learn to be happy with who we are. #HatersGunnaHate

Could You Live in a 100-Square Foot Apartment in NYC? This Guy Makes it Work

Ahh, Manhattan: as wonderful as the city is, most New Yorkers would agree that trying to score an apartment at a decent price in the borough is a harder battle than the Hunger Games. But while cramming lots of roommates into one apartment isn't an ideal situation, I'm not so sure I'd want to live like this Manhattanite, either. Grayson Altenberg is currently occupying a 100-square foot studio apartment, and it shows just how far people will go to live the New York dream.

Grayson is a chef at a restaurant in Lincoln Center, and he chose this uber tiny space so he could be steps away from work. Sadly, Grayson can barely take more than five steps into his actual apartment: it's so small that his bed bumps right up against his shower, and he's swapped a tray out for an actual table. Basically, he has just enough space to move around - but just barely.

Now get ready for a major truth bomb about Manhattan real estate: Grayson pays a whopping $1,100 for his studio space, despite the ridiculously tiny nature of his apartment. In New York, it's all about location, location, location, and Grayson's got a pretty good one. But is it good enough to have to exist in such a cramped space? I'm going to say no.

While Grayson makes the point of saying that the city is his backyard (and therefore he doesn't need much space of his own) I think he's forgetting about little things called "rain" and "winter." Let's be real: are you really going to want to venture outside when it's 15 degrees and disgusting outside? Those are the perfect days for holing yourself up in your apartment, but they aren't quite so fun when your own apartment makes you claustrophobic.

This tiny apartment seems to be working for Grayson, but I'm not so sure I could handle his living situation - this girl needs a proper couch to cuddle up in.

Well, we just got a little sneak peek at that hidden side and we wish she would show it more, although the fact that she doesn't is even more admirable because she's clearly not one to brag about the nice things she does.

One of Kylie's fans, who goes by the name Johnny Cyrus on Twitter, shared this amazing video showing off the sweet (literally!) package that Kylie had sent him.

"About a week ago, Kylie DM'ed me on Twitter and she said 'what is your address?' so obviously I gave Kylie Jenner my address...and about four days later, I received a package in the mail," he explains. And guess what? Yep! It was from Kylie!

In the huge gift bag were a whole bunch of sweet treats from Sugar Factory, including lollipops, Airheads, Spree, Sour Patch Kids, a Ring Pop and a signed card from the reality star herself.

She also gave him some other cool things, like two pairs of socks from Arthur George (Rob Kardashian's sock line) and a "Kylie's My Fave" t-shirt, because...duh!

When Johnny thanked Ky on Twitter, he lamented the fact that people probably wouldn't report on it because they only want to cover negative stuff....and Kylie's response was EVERYTHING: She knows the drill and she legit didn't care whether her act of kindness got any kind of publicity or not. When you do something from the heart, it's doing it that makes you happy, not the kudos. She didn't need to advertise that she did this, she just did it because she wanted to and we love her even more because of it...even if we are a TINY bit jealz of all the awesome stuff Johnny got!

The fashion industry has long been criticized for its use of very skinny models and in turn for creating a culture where extreme thinness is the norm. Now, a former model is speaking out about just how ridiculous the fashion industry's standards are for their models in a pretty brave way - by putting her own body on display.

19-year-old Swedish model Agnes Hedengard posted a video explaining that her very thin body type is now considered "too big" for modeling work by some of the biggest agencies in the market. One look at Agnes' thin frame and it's pretty unbelievable that someone would ever tell her to lose any amount of weight, but that's what leaders in the modeling industry suggested she do. Agnes has worked in the industry for the past five years, but was just recently told that her measurements no longer match up with their standards and that her butt and hips are "too big" for the typical model.

It really makes you wonder: exactly how do these people want models to both be healthy and that thin?! The reality is, so few people have a body as naturally slim as the fashion industry wants its models to be. Agnes' body mass index is a 17.5 - a healthy weight ranges from an 18.5 to a 24.9. That means that the industry wants to hire women who are even more underweight - and that's incredibly troubling.


We know that there is immense pressure on models to stay skinny, but Agnes' video shed light on just how thin the fashion industry wants them to be. It's dangerous to encourage women to aspire to a nearly-skeletal ideal in order to secure jobs, and it's about time that we saw a range of healthy, beautiful body types in the industry. No one should feel pressured to whittle down to nothing just to keep up with ridiculous body standards.

We're still trying to perfect a signature contour à la Kim Kardashian, how will we have time for all the up and coming highlighting tricks? If it's not strobing, it's tontouring, and when it's not tontouring, its clown contouring. The list goes on and on and on. We can barely keep up.

Well now there is a new art to contouring and it has us in awe. It's so pretty you won't want to blend it in. Now introducing, henna contouring!

Makeup artist and henna tattoo artist Sahur Saleim shocked beauty lovers when she debuted her version of contouring calling it henna contouring. Obviously inspired by the growing trend #clowncontour, Sahur created a lane that has us talking. Instead of using the silly and sometimes humorous approach to makeup art, Sahur has created something pretty and jaw dropping. Maybe we'll try henna face tattoos IRL one day

Did Calvin Harris Really Come to Taylor Swift's Defense Over the Avril Lavigne Tweet?

Clik here to view. Taylor Swift and Calvin HarrisCalvin Harris, why are you making things complicated? There was talk that Taylor Swift's boyfriend posted a Tweet in response to Avril Lavigne's T-Swift diss yesterday, and he's not too happy about it.

Confused? Don't worry, we were too.

It all started when Avril posted a message on Twitter that was kind of a shut-your-mouth comment to Swifties after seeing a Twitter post that said Taylor "liked" a meme on Tumblr comparing Avril's meet and greets with fans to Taylor's.

"Comparison is judging and judging a person does not define who they are...It defines who you are. We all love our fans," Avril posted in response.

Taylor never said anything back, but that didn't stop fans from seeing the shade in Avril's message. Of course, the story was picked up by several sites and then fans went into a frenzy when they saw a tweet from Calvin to Avril in total Taylor defense.

"[Taylor] didn't judge you. She doesn't judge anyone," Tay's boo reportedly wrote on Twitter. "She was only having fun with her fans, not trying to compare herself to you."

Cray, right? Too bad he never DID write that. Shortly after people started talking about him sticking up for his lady, he shot back on Twitter and revealed that he SO didn't write that to Avril at all. Well, that's that. Don't believe everything you see online, folks.

This isn't the only thing Calvin's come to Tay's defense for. Ex-One Direction member Zayn Malik dissed her on Twitter a few days ago and Calvin ripped him a new one. You can read about all that, here.

Meanwhile, Taylor must be into her man sticking up for her these days. She was totally caught telling him "I love you" at her show in Los Angeles on August 24, 2015. #CutestThingEver

Someone kicked off lookalike suggestions for Liam and Niall like no other - David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay.

Okay, we've heard the Liam and David comparisons before and they really could pull off a twinsies thing, but the Nialler one is new to us and something we never considered before.

Do you think Niall looks like Gordon? Turns out the famous chef himself is seeing the resemblance, as he retweeted a side-by-side comparison of him next to the One Direction singer. Image may be NSFW.

The country singer and new mama just revealed her new album's cover art on Instagram, and on it she takes Boho beauty to a whole new level. With gorgeous long hair, a flowing shirt, and awesome cowgirl boots, Carrie's cover basically owns everything. We just can't with how pretty she is...seriously!

The album cover for #Storyteller October 23rd will be here before ya' know it!

Carrie's new album will be called Storyteller, and it's expected to drop on October 23. Don't worry, it won't be very mom-like. She promised that there's only one song on there for her baby boy, and that she didn't want it to be all about becoming a mom. Hey, we respect that.

This isn't the only surprise Carrie's given her fans this week. Her new music video for her first single from the album dropped, too. The song is called "Smoke Break" and she rocks-at-life in that vid, as well.

Carrie recently opened up about the song on Facebook saying, "The song itself is just kind of one of those story songs that I feel like everybody can relate to, about how life is so hectic and it's so nice when, if and when, you actually get to kind of step away for a second."

She added, "And we all need that, we all need that time to ourselves to get to take a break."

#AmenSister!
