"I’m finding it’s pretty cool that the things I was insecure about, my husband thinks are the best," she captioned her post.
"I think that the things most people are insecure about are the things we think are the best on the ones we love," she continued. "Smile lines, face wrinkles, stretch marks, scars that say we made it through something hard, and all the other things we notice in the mirror that bother us, our friends and family notice and love."
She offered her followers some advice: "Just think about it ... if we love it for other people let’s just start loving it for ourselves too -- it would make life a lot more fun."
The reality star and former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant often discusses topics like confidence and embracing your own skin on her blog, Live Original.
She recently shared another post reflecting on how much she's appreciated her followers' support and advice on her new marriage.
