Sarah went on to call this the #glitterstretchmarks game and received around 300 emails of stretchmarks, cellulite, scars, and she even managed to get some guys to step forward!
This is a pretty unique way of looking at stretch marks.

I'm all for embracing one's unique self while working hard to be the best version of yourself. Sure, this is a bit far out, but it's refreshing making art out of something usually deemed in poor light. In saying that, I am not too bothered about my roadmap because this parenting thing is an adventure.
Tell me, how do you feel about your stretch marks? I would love to know.
