Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


Dove advert/ Sketches

I can’t remember the last time I couldn’t wait to ‘Skip’ a You Tube ad. This was worth all of my four minutes.


Our perceptions of body image are mostly distorted and misguided. Not only are we are so critical of ourselves but we feel the need to measure up (pun intended). Ideas of beauty are both commercialised and socialised to belittle and it is hard for a girl to find a sense of self in between. Here is my two cents: Own yourself, character is everything and beauty -I truly believe- radiates. It is not a physical thing; I’ve found that beauty is not tangible and that the most beautiful people I know radiate it -the way light would shoot through the dark.
