beYOUtiful

Okay so not so long ago, I was given a compliment about my appearance which I had a very hard time accepting. I felt awkward and lied to. A few minutes later, I found myself reflecting on how poor  my self-esteem was and how disappointed I was in myself. Which inspired me to write this post because I'm sure some of you all may relate to my situation. (At least I'd hope so lol)

Never do we realize how much having a positive self-esteem can help us. Mental health is just as important as physical health. We must learn to get rid of old toxic habits and train ourselves to see our own beauty. 

 It may feel unnatural at first but just how with practice we learn to solve a math problem,  its important we practice to change our thoughts about our appearance.

Here are some ways you could start doing so:

• Have your nails and eyebrows done- As insignificant as these may sound, caring about your nails and eyebrows will make you feel like you have your life together. 
• Life is too short to own cheap foundation- A good foundation will always help you feel better about yourself. You'll feel like a brand new you!
• Moisturize and exfoliate your face- Don't over do it either :/ 2-3 times a week is more than enough and you'll have a natural glow <3
• Smile- Y'all have no idea the great effect smiling causes. Honestly, a smiling person looks 1000x more beautiful. 
• BeYOUtiful- Most importantly, BE YOURSELF! Don't compare yourself to others. Short, tall, wide, slim, dark, light, curly hair, straight hair. Nobody is perfect. We are all different and that's okay.

Learn to accept yourself and admire your own beauty. Because if you don't, then who will?
