"Confidence is beauty."
I truly believe this.
I believe that the most attractive asset a person can possess is confidence.
When one is confident and secure that they are beautiful,
it shows,
and everyone around them agrees.
I once was a very insecure girl.
I felt inferior to everybody.
Always wondering what other people were thinking of me.
Today,
I realize that many of us don't see ourselves the way the rest of the world does.
I realize that I looked in the mirror and focused on my flaws, instead of my beauty.
I realize that worrying about what others thought of me stops me from being who I really am.
I realize that others are not important.
I realize that I should not change for anybody.
I realize that I should be confident in who I am because I am beautiful just the way I am.
I realize that confidence is beautiful, alluring and sexy.
With this said...
I ain't gonna lie.
I also realize that with a lil help from the following friends,
my confidence grows a lil stronger. haha :D
Tell me, what helps you feel confident & beautiful?

I agree hun!! Love this post, I've done so many similar posts. I used to be the same, reallllly insecure & shit, now ofcourse I still see/know/hate my flaws, but I'm confident as ever because being shy, scared, & insecure was holding me back. This is a great post to get out there to other girls that have felt insecure!
Jess! You're absolutely right. I'm not sure you remember my intro post about my skin problem but I've been feeling insecure since I was in the fourth grade about myself and only started to feel more confident when I was in maybe my sophomore and junior year in HS, so I know all about insecurities. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not as confident as I should be, but I've definitely made an improvement. Thank you so much for posting this as a post because I don't think enough of us realize the importance of confidence in our everyday life. :)
Makeup does help, and we should use it to our advantage! No to mention...sexy shoes! Sexy shoes! xD
I think makeup, cute clothes, sexy shoes, and great friends helps me feel confident and beautiful. <3 Oh, and the blogger community and how we all support each other in so many things that we do, I think that's amazing~
Big hair, smokey eyes, a glossy nude lip, a great fitting LBD, and my black patent leather hidden platform pumps. I'm very lucky; my husband tells me I'm beautiful, even when I'm in my sweats. That makes me feel really good. :)
Love this post Jess! :)For me.. it'd def have to be fake lashes, and some killer heels. And gorgeous hair.. speaking of which, i miss my long hair :(
This is a great insightful post (: I agree with you, confidence is key... and there IS a difference between being confident and conceited! We should all love ourselves for who we are and not have to try to be someone else just to impress others. You are a gorgeous girl & I love you for your confidence... it's inspiring! (:
Hehe, I agree though, gimme some falsies, circle lenses, cute underwear and shoes, and I'll be feelin' pretty good hehe (;
a beautiful dress definitely makes me more confident, with gorgeous shoes of course :)
this is a nice post! stay confident! xoxo
You are absolutely right... confidence is beautiful. You know, even if you have the best dress or the most fabulous shoes, if you don't feel confident wearing them, it will just be a plain outfit.
Glad to see your list of confidence boosters. Happy Tuesday! xoxo
when i sweat after a good jog. I feel good and sexy. It all starts in the mind.
When am sad i wear heels, am no sad anymore. haha.

I used to struggle with my confidence too. Falling in love with the hubs and becoming a mama has made a world of difference. Oh and a sexy red pout or mani helps too!
Thanks for doing the tag below girl. So sweet of you! I love your post today too. I totally agree that confidence is beauty. It shines through if you are confident. I wore a pair of Louboutain heels on saturday night and they made me feel pretty confident..even though they killed my feet! haha
Love this post! There is so much truth in these words! I don't consider myself pretty, but I'm happy with who I am and that's all that matters to me. :)
Although, on those special days when I need a pick-me-up, I love me some heels, a sophisticated outfit, my flat-ironed straight-as-a board hair, and probably false eyelashes (although I don't wear them too often). :D
Yeah, it's so amazing how many nice and interesting people you can meet at airports. :) I love hearing where they're from and where they're going. :D

Very insightful post..I like it! I'm with you on the makeup and heels ... I feel so much more confident with 3 extra inches!
so true confidence is the most beautiful thing :)
Nice nails, push up bra's and a little mascara always makes me feel more confident ;)
False lashes too.
I love heels but i can't walk in them :(
Hi...did you receive the package from my giveaway yet?
Alex
so true! so so true! a person may not be the "hottest" person around but what makes them attractive is the way they carry themselves... with confidence! what makes me feel confident? Usually when i put effort into what I wear... like on weekends is when i'll actually think about my outfits, maybe even wear heels (i suck at wearing heels, i can't even last long wearing 3" ones hahaha) and maybe even put a lil bit of make up on! ;P
totally thought i had commented on this post but i guess not?
what makes me feel confident and beautiful?
- STILETTOS!
- Eyeliner haha.
- my STRUT!
i can't agree with this post more. Even though i still feel like i lack a little confidence, physically,
lipstick, a nice pair of pumps, and a massive bag, always make me feel better.
My bf makes me confident. Simply bcos he believes in me ;)
