Kourtney Kardashian has been praised for posting a bikini photo showing off her stretch marks to the Instagram page for her lifestyle website POOSH.
Sporting a black and white polka dot bikini, Kourtney looked confident as ever while lounging on a yacht. In the caption, she draws attention to her stretch marks and touched on how to minimise their appearance.
As to be expected, considering how much so many of us yearn for unfiltered images showcasing bodies just the way they are, the post was met with an overwhelmingly positive response.

"Keeping it real," one person wrote, while another wrote: "That was a refreshingly positive and practical approach to stretch marks."
"About time ya'll got real about something!!" added a third.
Rewatch the moment Khloe tells her sister Kourtney that she wants to slap her in her "f***ing Mouth" in this shocking clip from Keeping Up With The Kardashians:

While POOSH, which Kourtney launched at the start of the year, advises that the "best way to treat your stretch marks is actually to love on them," it also provides readers with detailed guidance on how best to minimise their appearance.
"Since scars are a permanent molecular change, you can only reduce them, not reverse them," POOSH states on its website. "And because scars and striae are much more pronounced when skin is dry and unhealthy, it’s smart to keep your skin ultra-moisturized."
It continues: "While it goes without saying that hydrating from the inside out is crucial, i.e. drinking plenty of H2O, it’s also important to eat moisturizing foods. Moisturizing foods are different than hydrating foods—which are also important—i.e. watermelon, cucumbers, apples, other high-water-content fruits, and veggies. Healthy fats and foods abundant in vitamin A are all moisturizing foods, like fish (take your omega 3s!), avocados, nuts, olive oil, and sweet potatoes. Antioxidant vitamins C and E play a big role in skin health as well, so eat and supplement your C and E to see results."
In any case, this isn't actually the first time that the 40-year-old reality star has shared a photo in which her stretch marks can be seen.

Again, many of the commenters praised the mom-of-three for her stab at body positivity.
"I love when we get to see stretch marks... normal bodies," one user wrote.
"I love the fact that you let your stretch marks show!" wrote another "Proud, hot mama!!"
"Oh wow, not airbrushed. You can actually see her stretch marks and this is what a real body looks like! I love it!" a third agreed.

Kylie Jenner has been praised by fans on social media for sharing an unedited selfie that proudly shows off her stretch marks on her breasts.
This comes just a few weeks after the 22-year-old mom was "caught out" by followers for allegedly sharing a photoshopped poolside snap of herself in a bikini, before hastily deleting it.

Therefore, when fans noticed that Jenner had uploaded a selfie to her Instagram Story showing visible stretch marks on her chest, the young mogul was praised for her authenticity.
Now, stretch marks are perfectly normal and nobody should ever feel ashamed of them, but the world's youngest self-made billionaire - Forbes' words, not ours - is known for utilizing her social media accounts to flaunt her Kylie Skin and Kylie Cosmetics products with her 172 million Instagram followers.
Here's Jenner perfectly promoting her Kylie Skin sunscreen oil:

It is a smart and successful business move, but as a result, Kylie often looks FLAWLESS in any uploaded pics she uploaded. In fact, how many of us would honestly upload a picture to our own social media feeds showing our stretchmarks?
Therefore, after seeing the candid snap, many of Kylie's fans rushed to Twitter to commend her body-positive post.
One Twitter user wr0tes: "Kylie Jenner showing off her stretch marks unapologetically is growth."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/mystic_lee/status/1260067577243463680]]
Another person tweeted out: "Kylie Jenner has stretch marks on her boobies, and [I don't know] why but this makes me feel like it’s okay that I too have stretch marks".
A third wrote: "Knowing that Kylie has stretch marks on her boobs and is okay with them kinda makes me okay with my own".

And a fourth tweeted: "If Kylie has stretch marks and it's still rocking it, why can we accept that on ourselves?"
While another person posted on Twitter: "I finally like a normal human after seeing that @KylieJenner also has boob stretch marks!"

Now, as I mentioned before, stretch marks are perfectly normal. Per the NHS website, stretch marks are "very common" and "harmless". They "are often caused by sudden growth or weight gain" - such as pregnancy.
They are more common on women, but men can get them too - I've even got some myself, and I've got no issue with that.
Nevertheless, some people are self-conscious about their stretch marks - but if seeing somebody like Kylie Jenner "unapologetically" flaunting their own stretch marks makes them feel better about their own body, well then that is something that should be celebrated.

Instagram is very often a place where we want to showcase the very best versions of ourselves. And I'm not talking about playing around with the filters - I'm talking about feeling so pressured to get the likes that people resort to using editing apps to eliminate any flaws.
Being in the public eye, especially, it is understandable that certain celebrities will want to avoid any negative comments and trolls and edit out pimples, wrinkles, and stretch marks.
Katie Holmes teaches Ellen how to tapdance:

However, as time has gone on, the more celebrities are praised for showcasing their real selves. For example, scroll through the comments section on Katie Holmes' recent photo and you'll find nothing but support and good thoughts.
The 40-year-old actress recently took to the social media site to share a picture of herself wearing a bra and blazer which taken behind-the-scenes during her shoot with Vogue Australia.

And in the second photo (swipe right >>), you can see a few stunning stretch marks unapologetically visible on her stomach.
Understandably, many of Holmes' 1.9 million Instagram followers took to the comments section to praise the star for embracing her natural body:
User iriagalvan typed: "Love how beautiful and natural you are with your body. You aren’t afraid to show your body exactly how it is".
And jenfletch commented: "So bold!! I love that you’re slightly showing the pregnancy warrior marks. You go girl!!!"
Instagrammer rebeccaespada added: "Stunning showing those beautiful pregnancy marks. Thank you♥️"
In a recent interview with Stellar Magazine, Holmes opened up about her close relationship with daughter Suri. She said: "I have a really close relationship with my mom and a close relationship with my daughter.
"I have taken advice from my mom in raising my daughter. I appreciate the bond that all of us have, and I appreciate more and more my own mother and the challenges she faced now that I’m a mom."
Holmes also opened up about the challenges of parenting and social media: "Every parent is challenged by social media and the Internet. I think, for me, it's just limiting the amount of time for myself and for my child. It's important to get out and live and not always be on your phone."

Kylie Jenner has been applauded online for normalizing postpartum bodies after sharing a rare photo of her stomach post-childbirth.
In early February, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 24, shared the exciting news that she was now a mother of two, alongside a sweet snap of her daughter Stormi holding her baby brother's hand.
Jenner and her partner Travis Scott welcomed their son on February 2, and several weeks after his birth, she is being praised for showing her "stretched" postpartum skin.
Earlier this week, the makeup mogul took to Instagram, where she has a whopping 321 million followers, to share a preview of a YouTube video featuring footage of the birth of her second child.
The post also included a number of unseen photos - including one of her youngest child's feet pressed against her belly.
The black and white picture resonated with many of her followers, with a number of moms taking to Reddit to praise the young parent.
One wrote: “As a mommy, I love the rawness of this picture. The stretched skin, the postpartum tummy, the little extra weight. I just love it.”
Another said: “For women who have such big platforms, this is the type of content we need from them! I love this so much!”
A third said: “I love that she posted this. Normalizing normal bodies.”
A fourth user agreed: “She didn’t have to share these moments and the fact that she chose to is so generous. I hope people are kind to her too. Postpartum is hard.”
Yet another mom shared: “That first picture... That's exactly how my belly looked like one or two months after birth. The fact she posted that is refreshing. I love her for this picture. I never thought my belly would look like Kylie Jenner’s.”
This comes after Jenner revealed on Monday that she and her boyfriend Travis Scott had decided to change their new baby boy's name, who they originally said was named "Wolf".
Kylie wrote on her story: “FYI our son’s name isn’t wolf anymore [laughing emoji] We just really didn’t feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere. [praying emoji] [sic]”

Kourtney Kardashian has been applauded by social media users after sharing unedited pictures of her "real body" in a sheer outfit.
The 43-year-old reality TV star is no stranger to baring it all for her social media followers, and her new Instagram post for a commercial shoot is no different.
On November 30, Kardashian turned into a fairy princess by donning a magical sheer metal mesh two-piece outfit that showed off her gorgeous figure.
The mom-of-three wore the sparkly ensemble in an advert with her sister, Khloé Kardashian, for a bottle of sleep aid gummies by the vitamin brand Lemme.
Check out Kardashian's look below:While the Poosh founder always amazes with trendy fashion and cool photoshoots, the part of these photos that drew the most appreciation from fans was how they appear to have little editing - showing off her natural body shape.
One user complimented Kardashian for loving herself the way she is, writing: "For once we see an unedited, REAL, gorgeous pics of a beautiful young woman in her prime. She looks so good in love. [Love] this."
Another user praised "her natural real body image" and remarked: "Showing that natural real body image. No spine showing no unrealistic vibes. Loving this for her …. It’s giving real people vibes #iconic #naturalbeauty .. get it Kourt."
A third user shared that this era of her life seems to be her strongest, writing: "Love seeing her out there enjoying her life that she deserves".
Lastly, a fourth user expressed that the unedited body shots are "beautiful," stating: "Thanks for giving us back rolls… people think they are obese because they have them. It’s called being a human and we are all beautiful, thank you."
It’s not the first time supporters have praised Kardashian's body confidence as in September she posted a series of "real" snaps from behind the scenes of an earlier shoot.
In the pictures, the mother can be seen wearing a cream-colored top and matching underwear. She also has bright pink puffed sleeves on her arms, with her lilac eye makeup completing the look.
One fan hailed at the time: "Love your Real body! You’re beautiful," while another chimed in and said: "Thank you for being real and an inspiration to young women who have unrealistic goals."
Kardashian - who got married this year to the 47-year-old drummer - recently spoke about her "thicker" body after undergoing unsuccessful IVF treatments.
"It's taken me a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes [in my body]," the newlywed said on an episode of The Kardashians.
"Having a partner who is so supportive of me and always complimenting me, no matter what, it’s just helped me to really embrace the changes and actually to the point where I love the changes now," she added.

Kourtney Kardashian has recently been teasing the launch of her new website, Poosh, through a variety of Instagram posts that have teased a new line of... something. These reality star siblings sure know how to launch profitable businesses off the back of their names alone, but no one quite knows what this one is actually about yet.
Earlier this month she first teased the launch by posting a photo of her sitting on a bathroom countertop drinking tea, surrounded by various bathroom products and linen. "C O M I N G. S O O N" the caption read, while a new Instagram account - @poosh - was tagged in the post.
Later, a collage of photos on that Instagram account declared that Poosh "isn't a monologue. It's a dialogue"... Whatever that means.
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BumXpJ0ne1A/]]
Later on, we got a few more clarifications after a source passed on a few more details to Radar Online, reportedly saying:
"Kourtney’s line is going to cover everything, basically. Everything that you see in that photo, aside from Kourtney and the Apple laptop, is part of her line. She is launching Poosh as a beauty brand, but also a lifestyle brand. Ultimately, she kind of wants to be like her own Amazon. And with Kris Jenner's support, she very well might achieve this goal."
It sounds like it's a big project to take on, and so Kourtney is going all out on the viral marketing before there's any official announcement of what she's doing with it. Recently, she posted a photo of herself soaking in a bubble bath, but the apparent photoshop job on her body has been particularly distracting to many of her followers.

Her leg looks extra small, extra long, and positioned in the most awkward way possible.
"Love yourself as deeply as you love them," she writes in the caption.

While there were many of the usual positive comments from Kourtney's fans, others were quick to point out how terrible the editing job was. "The longer you look at this photo the more obviously f***ed up the editing is," user uhhhshannonnn wrote. "Yikes."
Yikes indeed.
As far as the name of this new site she's going for, many were confused why 'Poosh' was the one to go for - at least until Kourtney posted another snap of herself, this time with her daughter Penelope. "Name: Penelope, Nickname: Poosh," the caption read.

However, it may alsohave something to do with a supposed trick of the game.
According to a profile of Gwyneth Paltrow in the New York Times last year, she came up with the name of her natural health company by following a particular trend. According to Paltrow, the name GOOP was chosen after she was told, "all the successful internet companies had double O's."
