With constant exposure to unattainable aspirations of what women 'should' look like and be like, more of us than ever before are reporting issues with mental health and body image - alarmingly over 28% of younger women now have a mental health condition in the UK. With the demands of 21st Century life, it's easy to forget to focus on the importance of having both a healthy body and mind.

​

We are not only a platform to help us think about how we can achieve a healthier body and mind but also a reminder of what being a real, everyday woman is. We refuse to define ourselves by what we look like and for that reason Above Water does not have a separate beauty or fashion section. We are purposefully selective in the images and photos we share in the hope that women will embrace their differences and realise that we don't have to act or look a certain way - we're great just the way we are.
