EP - 73 - Why do we hate our Stretch Marks?

<p>Welcome, my loves!</p><p>I decided to release one more episode before we start our Frightful December Series!</p><p>Growing up, I remember my aunts and cousins telling me to rub cocoa butter on my body to avoid stretch marks. At age five, I understood that these sometimes silvery lines were unwelcome. But guess what? Once puberty came around, so did the appearance of stretch marks! Oh My! </p><p>Fast forward to today; you type into Google, "how to get rid of stretch marks," and you'll get well over 16 million results! Why do we have such disdain for something so common? </p><p>In this episode, we'll look at an article by Ashley Weatherford entitled "The Irrational History of Hating Stretch Marks."</p><p><strong>Are.
