Dear Diary,
As a teen delving into the world of makeup and "beauty", I felt very insecure about wearing bright lip colours like pink and purple - if it was bright, I felt like I couldn't wear it. The problem lied within myself. I use to feel like I was "too dark" to wear bright lip colours - crazy! GIRL SNAP OUT OF IT! Self-love is so unbelievably important, especially this social media filled world we live in where you can't escape certain perceptions of beauty in every turn.
What I realize and love is how much self-love is fighting back. We now see the Lupita Nyongo's of the world on the front covers of magazines, as well as plus size models killing runways and various covers! This is what happens when we LOVE ourselves and break barriers showcasing to the world that beauty comes in all different shapes, sizes, and colours.

Now, I love taking risks. I love changing my hair colour, challenging fashion norms and trends, just having fun. Like I always say, your body is your canvas - PAINT ON! Have fun, enjoy life. If you are afraid of judgement, just know that in this world we live in today, someone will almost ALWAYS have something to say - so like Nike - JUST DO IT!
