Koming out Konfident

Beep. Beep. Beep. That noise you dreaded all night long goes off and you find yourself stumbling out of bed to the bathroom. You tiredly look in the mirror and what runs through your head? Most likely you're thinking of all the work you're about to put in to your appearance for the next 45 minutes. 

Maybe straightening your naturally bouncy, big curls is your first step. Next you find yourself layering on foundation to cover one tiny imperfection and swiping coats of bronzer onto your cheekbones. Before you know it you've been awake for an hour and you still don't feel perfect enough to begin your day. 

If this isn't you then you're one of the lucky ones. More specifically, you would be apart of the mere four percent of women in the world who call themselves "beautiful," according to Dove.  

Dove says a shocking 72  percent of girls feel "tremendous pressure" to look beautiful everyday yet 80 percent agree that every woman has something about her that is beautiful but that they do not see their own beauty.

This is our problem.

We believe in the beauty of other women but not ourselves. We must believe in our own beauty. We mustn't wake up at the first sign of sunshine to start changing everything about ourselves. We should rock our natural beauty. A little bit of makeup to brighten up your mood is A Ok! But use the makeup to enhance your natural beauty, don't cover it up. 

So instead of looking at yourself every morning and groaning about the "work" that needs to be done. Tell yourself you're beautiful. Enhance yourself a little, and walk out your door ready to conquer your day.
