The 30 Year Beauty Project: Week 9


Believe in yourself, have confidence, and listen to your gut
There’s no way advertisers or shows can capture what is truly beautiful. It’s a feeling, not a look.

Age: 30

Occupation/Passion/What do you do?

Stay-at-home mom

What was the one thing you were scared of when you turned 30?

That I would become irrelevant, I would no longer be part of the “young” crowd and I would become out of touch and out of style.

What’s the best lesson you’ve learned over the years about beauty?

Believe in yourself, have confidence, and listen to your gut.

What do you consider beautiful about yourself? I’m not scared in front of a crowd and my eyes

What do you consider beautiful about your best friend, which she may not know about herself? She’s the best host I know, she shines when she’s throwing a party, dinner, family event, etc

Did you feel you were beautiful at age 10? I don’t think I cared or knew either way

Age 15? No, does anyone? I was so awkward then

Age 20? Yes, I met my husband that year and he had a lot to do with building my confidence

Do you feel you are beautiful now? Most days, sometimes I feel pushed to the side with my kids. But I have to tell myself when they shine or excel it’s because of me and my parenting (and my husband’s lol)

Have you had a moment where you realize beauty may be something other than what the media portrays it as? When I was pregnant with my 3rd kid and my body was as resilient. I was never ever to bounce back like the first two and the last one was definitely the one that shook me the most. I wasn’t able to confidently show off my stomach like some pregnant women do and what was the trend the 3rd time, the bump pics. I haven’t been able to wear a bathingsuit since let alone a bikini. I’m dreading the summer. But this year I’m going to just do it.

What do you hope your daughter learns about beauty? It’s not about what tv or internet tell you. There’s no way advertisers or shows can capture what is truly beautiful. It’s a feeling, not a look.
