BEAUTY AND FASHION
34
By Ashley Walker
How many of us have heard the term, “Food is good for the soul”? Well, that may be true, but I like to say “Confidence is good for the soul”! The last six months or so have been really tough on most of us, and our focus may have often shifted to survival over self-care, which is completely understandable, but we can’t forget our own needs. Remember “self-care, is not selfish”! Fashion is such a major part of everything around us, and that includes the wellness level of our mind, body, and souls. Covid-19 has had most of us in lounge wear for most of 2020, and a ton of us have picked up what we now know as the “Quarantine 15”, but we must remember how super important it is to love ourselves at every level of our journey. We have to know that it’s okay to want to appreciate where we are at this very moment, mid pandemic, while being completely comfortable and confident enough to focus on where we want to go. Self-love and body positivity include loving what we currently see as well as embracing improvements that we will benefit from, and that’s what promotes real confidence.
