1. The truth is sexy

   Truth and beauty are intricately linked. If you want to be more beautiful, be more truthful, more real, more authentic. Be yourself and know that what makes you vulnerable is also what makes you beautiful.

2. Know thyself

Want to be confident? First you must know what to be proud of.

Look within. Dig deep. Know what your values and boundaries are, and honour yourself by owning them.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

3. Shun ideals & trends; walk your own path

Be an individual, not a sheep - it takes nothing to join the crowd and everything to stand alone.

“Always be a first rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else.” - Judy Garland

4. Be kind. Inner beauty outshines outer beauty, every time.

Let’s face it, there’s nothing more beautiful than a good heart.

“Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates” - Kate Angell

5. Accept Yourself

You might be a good actress, but you can’t fake true confidence: vibration never lies.

Do the work: accept yourself.

“Confidence is not “they will like me”, confidence is “I’ll be fine if they don’t” - Christina Grimmie

6. Respect yourself and all of life’s creations

Respect the planet and yourself by becoming informed so you can make responsible and ethical choices.

Respect your body by choosing safe, non-toxic cosmetics. Respect others by supporting businesses that respect their workers. Respect the planet and animals by supporting ethical production methods.

7. A smile is the best thing you can wear

Let’s not take ourselves too seriously shall we? Pouts are just not cool anymore.

Approachability and friendliness will get you everywhere in life.

8. Stop competing

Release the need to compete or even compare yourself to others. Own your unique brand of awesomeness without having to be better than others. The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday, and even then, do it lovingly.

9. Know that you are worth the effort

Beauty rituals aren’t about fixing, covering or camouflaging ourselves. And it’s more than just a fun opportunity for self-decoration (which is enough of a reason if you ask us) - it’s also about sacred self-care and self-adornment, about honouring yourself as the divine spark of kick-ass stardust art that you are.

10. Age like a boss

Stop "“fight ageing” and be pro-vitality instead. Accept and enjoy each stage of life for what it is. Slow the ageing process by taking the best care of yourself ever!

Think kind thoughts, take time each day to relax, cut out toxins, eat nutrient rich raw foods, don’t over-expose your skin to the sun and drink lots of purified water. No “anti-ageing” cream is going to be able to reverse the effects of a poor diet, dehydration, constant stress, negative self talk and drug/alcohol abuse.

11. Support the little guy (or gal)

Why on earth would you choose to give your money to a big corporation who prioritise profit above all else, when you could support the local guys who actually care about you? The most powerful vote you have is in the buck not the ballot. So choose wisely and vote with your money…

12. Remember that beauty is harmony

We are wired to see things that are balanced and harmonious as beautiful…

So stay true to you by being centred in the core and truth of who you are..
