BeYOUtiful

Happy Sunday! This post is directed more for the ladies. Last night, I went with a friend to see the newest, and most trending movie, "The Duff". Besides the movie being insanely hilarious, it had some meaningful lessons. For those who don't know, "DUFF" stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend. In the movie, people befriend DUFF's to appear like the better looking when the two are compared. At the end of the movie, the main character and DUFF, Bianca, accepts herself for who she is. She says there will always be someone in life who is better than you, but that shouldn't effect how you see yourself. Embrace who you truly are and how you look. This message led me to think about confidence and natural beauty. Everyone has insecurities, I am insecure about almost everything. I'm especially insecure at school because all the girls at my school are absolutely gorgeous! However, believe it or not, "The DUFF" sort of changed me. I think girls need to learn to be confident in their own skin without using so much makeup to completely alter themselves. I want to accept my true self so I'm going to try to use less makeup. Less eye makeup, less face makeup. Now I'm not saying girls should stop wearing makeup. I personally adore makeup, and girls can use makeup to really enhance their features. However, whenever I take off my makeup, I tend to feel even more insecure about my appearance. I want to learn to accept that side of me. I want to embrace the real me. For any girl reading this who is possibly wanting to do the same thing, you can do that too! Whether it's wearing less foundation, a little less eye makeup, or even learning to work with and love your natural hair. My point is, every girl is beautiful whether they realize it or not. We need to learn to have confidence in our own skin, and embrace our so called "flaws". Thank you for reading. Self-acceptance and confidence are what I believe every girl should carry with them, no matter how hard it is to achieve. Stay beautiful. All the Love -Kate
