What would you tell
your 15 year old self about:
• Beauty believe in yourself and you
will believe in your beauty
• Fashion have fun now because soon
enough it’ll be comfort over fashion
• Love you’re too young to fully
understand, but you’ll never believe me if I told you
• Family as much as you think you
hate them now, they are the only ones you can truly trust and the only ones who
will be there no matter what
• Friends come and go, but the good
ones stick around
• Body Image goes hand in hand with self-image.
You won’t have a good self-image if you don’t have a good body image. Find
something you love about your body and work from there.
• Fitness won’t be found in front of
the TV, go outside a little. Play some sports
• Nutrition so hard to understand;
wish they taught it in school.
What was the one
thing you were scared of when you turned 30?
That I was now longer young, fresh, and relevant. I still
feel young
What’s the best
lesson you’ve learned over the years about beauty?
Maintenance and confidence. If you let yourself go, you
will. You have to care enough about yourself to take care of yourself. That
comes with confidence. Believe in yourself and that you deserve
good things, including being beautiful.
What do you consider
beautiful about yourself? The family my husband and I created.
What do you consider
beautiful about your best friend, which she may not know about herself
Her smile and confidence
Did you feel you were
beautiful at age 10? I was always told I was beautiful and always felt like
a princess. I’m not sure I knew what that meant beyond being told that
Age 15? No, I was
a late bloomer and all the other girls had had boyfriends and first kisses
already. No boys seemed to care about me.
Age 20? Yes, but
now I see it was for the wrong reasons, I was very vain then.
Do you feel you are
beautiful now? Yes, I’m not as vain as I used to be. I see beauty in
different ways now.
Have you had a moment
where you realize beauty may be something other than what the media portrays it
as? Probably my late 20’s after things stopped being all about me, when I
had my first baby and realized he was what was beautiful about me.
What do you hope your
daughter learns about beauty? I don’t have a daughter but I hope to teach
my son how to treat girls and women properly. I don’t ever want him treating
girls the way I was treated by boys when I was a teenager and the way I let
myself be treated when I was a young adult. I want to teach him respect and
equality.
