Back in 2008 before I moved to Oregon, my hair was blond, skin was a golden beautiful tan and I felt pretty each day. As time had passed in Oregon (where the sun lacks) my skin has faded to its vanilla white tone and my hair is no longer its bright vibrant blond. I have allowed my hair to grow out to its natural dirty dishwater blond...and so feeling very unattractive daily- 'new' Amanda to the right --->
I am desperately working on trying to love the natural Amanda as apposed to the 'fake' Amanda that made me feel pretty every minute of the day.

What do you guys feel builds confidence and real beauty? What do some of you do daily to make yourself feel beautiful and confident?
this is a tricky one, because i think that even though a girl may appear to be confident deep down inside all girls have issues with self confidence, now if they admit it or not is a different story. for my self who has several issues with my self confidence i always try and tell my self that this is the body i was born with and i shouldn't try to hold myself to this unobtainable standard. all i can do it try to live a happy healthy lifestyle and enjoy the company of my family and friends because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's fake as much as it is a different style or look :) Different hair colors, styles, different makeup shades all create a different style! So don't be ashamed of wanting to change it up or do what makes you feel pretty! The you without tan skin and light hair is you, and the you with tan skin and light hair is you too! Just different styles! :) I say have fun with it and try out new stuff whenever you feel like it!! :) You're beautiful! I truly mean that! Oh and I adore your natural hair color!
