Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful


Hey! Happy New Year! Sorry for not posting in awhile. One of my new year’s resolutions is to try to post more consistently. Haha. ;)

I wanted to start this year off by sharing one of my favorite quotes with you…

“Be your own kind of beautiful.”

It’s one of those quotes that makes you stop and think. What does that mean exactly? To me, it means be yourself. I think girls sometimes struggle with being true to themselves. Classmates, friends, and peer pressure can sometimes get us off track. You shouldn’t care about what other people think. You don’t have to be like everyone else. Be yourself. You are unique and awesome. :)

There’s no standard. We should all try to be beautiful in our own way. Don’t let someone else’s definition of beautiful affect what beautiful means to you.

Follow your heart and don’t always listen to the advice of others. Always do what you think is right.

Being your own kind of beautiful also applies to not just being yourself on the inside but on the outside as well. Don’t follow beauty or fashion trends just because everyone else is. If everyone’s wearing some new fashion trend and you think it looks stupid, then don’t wear it! If you did something different with your hair or you’re wearing a shirt that you love and someone says they don’t like it. Who cares? You shouldn’t! Because if you like it, then you should wear it! Don’t let other people have a heavy influence on your style.

In order to be your own kind of beautiful, you need to do things without worrying about what other people think. Live your life the way you know you should live it and don’t worry about people judging you.

These words mean so much to me that I actually have them on a wall in my bedroom. You can get these inspiring words for your wall for under $5 here: Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful 5.5h x 20w vinyl lettering for walls quotes art
