'Hip Dips' Is the Latest (and Greatest!) Trend in Body-Positive Social Media

Unlike the unhealthy Instagram trends of yore (thigh gap flaunting, rib cage bragging, the A4 challenge, et al…), the latest phenomenon to overtake the social media platform is actually awesome—and totally body positive!

#hipdips is trending up a storm—over 1,300 posts bear the hashtag on Instagram alone.
