My last post was about how you define beauty as a lady. What I have learnt here is the media has the power to change how we feel about ourselves. Remember the days when everyone wanted to be skinny like a supermodel? As a beauty lover I follow different brands and I love them because of the way they advertise their products, to the way they treat their customers.

If you follow @DoveSouthAfrica surely you are now comfortable in your own skin and you really can define #RealBeauty. Have you ever dreamt of being a model? Imagine being featured in a Dove advert? I have great news for you. Dove is looking for beautiful ladies with radiant skin to feature in their next advertisement. For more details follow @DoveSouthAfrica or like their Facebook page for more information.

Goodluck beauties!

I used to suffer with low self-esteem. You know that feeling when you ask yourself whether you beautiful enough? Yellow enough for the next person to like you? 

This whole thing of a low self-esteem usually starts when you are in primary. You meet different people, your mother tells you that you are beautiful but what can she say, you are her baby at the end of the day. The bully at school 

tells you, you the most ugliest and skinniest kid he has ever met.

As I grow older I learnt to be confident in my own skin. There is nothing more exciting than that. While someone is willing to bleach her skin, I look at women like Lupita Ny'ongo and I remind myself that dark is beautiful. By doing that I have learnt to trust myself. People usually ask me if I am a model. I don't consider myself that anymore, I just trust myself enough that even brand managers have learnt to trust me with their brands.

You can't define beauty using a dictionary, you've got to have your own definition. Mine is: "Beauty means being confident about the you look."

Have a productive week.
