“Beauty,” she captioned the photo, which clearly draws attention to tuff of hair under the 20-year-old’s armpit.

“This idea of beauty we have currently Is so odd. Who decides what's beautiful?,” she started the post.

“It's not some checklist that you go through and suddenly can qualify for.

“Should one have flawless skin, a lean body and groomed body hair to be considered beautiful?

“No. Because that idea of beauty is non-existent. Nobody in reality has that 24/7.”

Sara goes on to say that beauty shouldn’t be an elite group only certain members of society are allowed to join.

“I currently don't shave my leg or armpit hair because it's cold where I live, my skin is breaking out and I do not, nor ever will have a lean tummy with 0 skin folding or minimal amounts of fat. That's the reality,” she said.

She then appealed to her followers to stop tearing people down with hurtful comments online.

“We all have our own problems to deal with and you never know what someone's going through, please consider that before you say things that could hurt someone,” she said.

“Also think about that when you say hurtful things to yourself. There's no point in being rude towards yourself.

“Learn to love yourself because you are an amazing person and you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

“As long as you're doing your best, you're doing an amazing job.”

The post has already been liked over 7,000 with people commending Sara for her honest account of being a blogger online.

“I'm 25 and your captions totally sum up how I feel about loving my body and are the messages I want my daughters to see one day, but if only posts like these were around while I was growing up,” one person said.

“Some people are so worried about the outside that they forget the inside, so they think others don't have anything inside and forget about others feelings too... and that's when they start criticizing and hurting with words! We should appreciate everybody,” another follower said.
