Just be yourself, no matter what. · No amount of lipstick or make-up can make you feel better in the long run, if you don't accept who you are. I realised that this is my face and body and that I might as well be happy about it. · The moment we embrace this truth and start loving ourselves, I think the confidence shows on your face and your life isn't the same after that. · You have to think sexy to feel sexy about yourself.
