Age: 30
Occupation/Passion/What
do you do? Stay-at-home Mom
What would you tell
your 15 year old self about: (Answer all or as many as you like)
• Beauty your outer beauty will
change over time, as long as you always about to find something true and pure about
yourself you will be beautiful.
• Fashion is not as important as you
think, right now it’s all about what you’re wearing to fit in, one day you will
learn to fit in because of who you are or that fitting in isn’t as important as
it was when you were 15.
• Boys keep a sense of humour about
them and remember they feel just as shy and awkward as you do.
• Love the first cut is the deepest,
you’re right that you never experienced anything like this before, but you’re
wrong if you think you never will again or that it will never be better or
bigger or stronger or more true and pure
• Men are just like boys, keep a
sense of humour about them and remember they have just as many insecurities as
you do.
• Sex it’s okay to be curious but I
cannot stress enough about how you will regret it if you are not ready. You can’t
take it back and it will be life changing no matter what.
• Family learn all you can, they are
there to teach you and help you travel through life. They are the one constant
in your life that will always be there.
• Friends will help shape your life
and are there for a reason, to help you grow and learn. The good ones will
become like family and the bad were there as background players for a reason
and a lesson.
• Body Image you may not be able to
see anything positive about yourself at 15 but soon you will grow into
yourself. Keep your shoulders high and proud no matter what.
• Fitness keep playing and having
fun and you won’t even notice what you are doing
• Nutrition help mom in the kitchen
and learn a little. You’ll thank me in college when everyone else is eating KD
and you’re whipping up a delicious and nutrious meal.
What was the one
thing you were scared of when you turned 30?
My youth was gone. And it may be. Now I feel like I’m on a
new journey and a new chapter. Hopefully with less drama
What’s the best
lesson you’ve learned over the years about beauty?
Beauty is so relevant, what’s beautiful to one person can be
ugly to another. As long as you believe you are beautiful doesn’t it matters if
anyone else does. You are the observer.
What do you consider
beautiful about yourself?
No matter what I always get ready in the morning. Even if I
have no where to go, it makes me feel like I did something and I can take on
the world. I can be spontaious if someone drops by or I want to go somewhere. I
am prepared.
What do you consider
beautiful about your best friend, which she may not know about herself?
She is the complete opposite. She can lay around in perfect satisfaction
in here PJs and she does it without seeming lazy.
Did you feel you were
beautiful at age 10? No I felt my big sister got all the attention and
looks
Age 15? Nope,
still jealous of the big sis
Age 20? Yes,
finally discovered myself and what I was great at and broke out of her shadow,
which was never really there and in my head all along.
Do you feel you are
beautiful now? Yes
Have you had a moment
where you realize beauty may be something other than what the media portrays it
as?
I’ve always felt I didn’t look like the girls on TV or in
magazines. My hair wasn’t perfect, it was curly and messy. My clothes were perfectly
pressed, they were hand-me-downs. I wasn’t tall and thin, but I wasn’t big
either, I was in the middle and there was no pictures of girls in the middle
What do you hope your
daughter learns about beauty?
I hope she learns she doesn’t have to live up to anyone else’s
expectations and she doesn’t have to compete with anyone. She only has to live
for herself and what makes her happy.
