The definition of beauty is…? Any takers? Hmm this might come off as a trick question because there is no right or wrong answer. Beauty is something you create and define for yourself. Even though you are constantly surrounded by a certain type of imager or certain traits that media considered is pretty, it is not their decision to tell you about your beauty.  Beauty comes in so many different colors, sizes, ages the list can go on for days. Your Beauty and your flyness is based on the confidence you posses and the unique traits only you have. Even though it’s difficult to sometimes want to stand out when everyone around you is trying to conform but remember you weren’t created to fit in the crowd! You are here to lead and define how you are perceived. Still need a little mor encouragement to jump start your unique flyness?? Check it out…

Knock Out Stereotypes– Just because you might not see a certain type of person on the cover magazines does not mean that your type is not considered beautiful. We begin to hear what others are attracted to or what is there “type.” These comments can come from closed minded people who feel like the only type of beauty are the girls they see in every music video, wrong!  It’s time for you to knock out stereotypes to the side. Don’t be timid, shy or under play your gorgeous self just because  you’re different. As soon as  you see and identify the beauty in yourself that’s when people will see it in you as well.

Embrace Your Features– So add another homework assignment to your list of subjects. Take 10 minutes, pull your hair back, wipe off any make up you have on and truly take a look in the mirror at yourself. Now afterward really take a good look at yourself. Pick atleast 3 physical traits that you absolutely adore about yourself. See how gorgeous you are without anyone commenting or putting their two cents in.  This is the first step of you embracing your own unique features.

Pick Your Role Models– Ok, so you shouldn’t try to replicate someone else but it’s completely cool to have different people you are inspired by. Find pics of an array of your beauty icons and see how confident they are. For example, if you just cut your hair and it’s taking you a little bit to get used to. Flip through different mags and cut out fly people like Nia Long, etc to see how they are confident rocking their personal style. Once you see that there are others that fearlessly love being them, that will encourage you to do the same.
