looking PRETTY does not have to HURT

BY SHARON MODISE

…and as a women I find it hard to understand why are we living in a society whereby when a women is skinny that’s when she is (SEXY) why? Women out there are pushing it too hard to be one of the skinny ones reason being (skinny women are sexy).

What I want ladies to do is to stand up and say I may be a plus size or a medium size or small size but am a woman and I will remain as beautiful as I am. We need to learn to accept ourselves if we don’t do that who will a friend or who? I really love this song by Beyonce “Pretty Hurts”. It is really a good song one needs to listen to it. She says “what you wear is all that matters “fix your hair and brush your teeth we don’t need a make up to make us beautiful what we need is to embrace what God gave us.”

What we need to do is to wake up in a morning and put a smile unto our face will that be difficult ladies I guess not… some of my tips would be always know what is in every season. Know the fashion trend for each and every season, watch fashion shows or buy fashion magazine or visit clothing store and look for what is in, and don’t forget when you are entering a clothing store never ask for advice from a 50 year old lady if you are half her age. That will be the biggest mistake you would ever do, what I will ask you to do is to go out with a friend (mzala or chomy) to go and help you out when you choose and again know the colour of the season and what’s in and at least spoil yourself and go for beauty spa or a night out with your girls might be for a movie or clubbing just something that makes you happy….laughter is the best medicine.
