A couple of days ago, I did a
makeover for a friend, and it turned out to be a fulfilling experience. I like
it when I get the opportunity to help the fashionably-less-fortunate! :)
At the end of the day it isn’t only about someone looking physically good,
it’s about them feeling beautiful too! So this week, I’m inspired to spend some
time talking about our notion of Beauty.
I know a lot of girls think that beauty is an objective ideal… but I completely
disagree! It’ll sound like a cliché, but I truly believe that beauty comes from
inner confidence, which can only exist when you truly love yourself.
The tricky part is that loving
yourself can be really hard sometimes. I’m sure every girl reading this has her
own insecurities, even if she doesn’t want to admit them. They’re a personal
battle and your only choices are to overcome… or accept them. I know it may be
difficult at times but girl! Don’t you dare forget how much you have to offer:
all the compassion, love, empathy, strength… I could go on and on! So instead
of criticizing the nitty-gritty details, look at the bigger picture – you’re unique,
and you’re beautiful!
We can be so harsh on ourselves, and
it’s important to take some time and treat ourselves too. So I’m officially
declaring next week as #LoveMeWeek. I’ve created a list of customized
activities for each day to thank my mind, body and soul for being so good to me!
These are things that I love doing
and things that will ultimately make me happier! I want all of your girls to
either make your own schedule, or follow mine below! Don’t forget to post your
photos on Instagram with the hashtag #LoveMeWeek, #frufrushru and of course tag
me, @FruFru.Shru!
My #LoveMeWeek Schedule:
Monday: Stay
hydrated! It’s good for your skin! Drink the recommended 8 glasses of water.
Tuesday: Give
yourself a sweet treat! Bake your favourite dessert such as my favourite Walnut
Brownies.
Wednesday:
Go shopping after school for a midweek pick-me-up!
Thursday: Rest!
Get to bed early and make sure you get a good night’s sleep. It always
re-energizes me for the day ahead!
Friday: Escape
into the magic of movies! Watch my favourite chick flick or tearjerker and have
a good laugh and cry!
Saturday: Have
fun with friends! Organize a spa slumber party with my girls – face & hair
masks, nails etc.
Sunday: Connect
with nature! Go for an early morning walk at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to
catch the sunrise.
That’s it for this week, girls. Remember to love yourself and channel that inner confidence to embrace your own unique beauty! Until next time! Mwah!
