This is a beauty blog and I’m excited to write all about real, genuine, breathtaking, glorious, powerful, never-changing, and radiant beauty :)

In this blog all of our differences as unique individuals will be celebrated, they will not be used to make anyone feel less than or not good enough. In this blog, I’m saying the media/people are wrong and God is right.

However, in order to caution any followers, don’t be surprised when you don’t see any blogs about fashion, makeup, products, celebrity trends, dieting, plastic surgery, etc. Although these are commonly associated with the term beauty, I’d argue these things or topics have nothing to do with beauty and everything to do with becoming someone other than who you are. With that said, I won’t waste my time thinking or writing about any of those things. If you’re purely concerned with physical appearance, instead of reading my blog you might want pick up a magazine, watch a movie, go to the mall and see 27382 advertisements on “how to look and feel more beautiful,” watch tv, etc. They all emphasize that beauty is not something your born with but instead something you can purchase or put on, it’s a trap good luck. In this blog, I’ll argue the exact opposite.

Why am I writing this blog? 

This blog might rub some people the wrong way, and it will definitely go against the grain of mainstream opinions on beauty. But, thats okay because quite frankly I’m tired of men and women struggling to become other people in hopes of being perceived as “beautiful.” I’m tired of our media and people brainwashing everyone else into believing they’re ugly if they don’t look like ken or barbie. I feel like this happens because people are told and convinced into believing a false definition of beauty. Firstly, lets start thinking for ourselves and stop chasing imitation, we don’t look that way for a reason, we Need to embrace who YOU and I are. Can you imagine if we all looked the same? annd how incredibly boring that would be…Yet that’s what we’re trying to create when we aspire to look and be like other people. 

The result will be: We’ll always compare ourselves to others, which will leave us Never satisfied and Always feeling worse than before. In this case, everyone loses.

 Imitation is boring and we all look differently for a reason, but awareness is power. When we realize that our physical looks are so temporary and always varying, we can then start focusing on things that matter, like our identity, which is who we really are. 

For clarity sake:

False: Beauty is not about what you look like, it’s not about what you wear, nor is it about what people think or say about you. The truth is physical appearance and popularity do not make someone beautiful. 

Truth: Beauty is actually referring to who someone is, it is part of their identity. When someone is beautiful, it’s who they are. Looking and feeling beautiful are simply bonuses to being a beautiful person. 

 Beautiful people are those who live selflessly and love unconditionally. They give generously and accept others fully. They forgive quickly and breathe slowly. They live not by their strength but by God’s. They are people who shine, because they have a joy and peace about them that is completely contagious. They know who they are and they are confident in who God says they are, so all of the sudden other peoples opinions no longer matter. Don’t let others try to define who you are. The best example i can think of is Jesus, he did all these things and more. Jesus is beautiful in every meaning of the word, people were and are drawn to him! Not because of what he looked like but because of who he was and is. 

I don’t care what anyone says, You are beautiful. You are beautiful. You are beautiful. Not because of how you look but because of who you are.

Your differences are what make you beautiful, not your similarities.

Can you imagine if we all embraced our differences and realized that we’re beautiful exactly how God made us?! We’d have a lot less depression, a lot less cutting, a lot less people with eating disorders, and a lot less suicides. 

This is huge, don’t underestimate our need to not feel but to actually be beautiful.

Also Never try to force or prove your beauty, if it’s who you are it will come naturally. 

Enjoy my blog <3
