(Inspiration -Up in the Mountains)  Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery and today I am admitting I have a problem.  A problem with posing with my hand of my hip #skinnyarmposeforlife.  It is easy, it is slimming, and I like how it looks but it gets a bit boring after a certain amount of time.
