L’Oreal Paris’s Beauty Countdown Contest: Because I’m Worth It

These days, whenever I bumped into old friends or acquaintances, they would tell me that I looked different now than years ago. I look much happier, much more confident and definitely much more beautiful than before. Apparently, I emitted a much more different aura these days and it is much more positive than before. I was told that I have somehow blossomed, and as cocky as it sounds, I can’t help but agree with people’s general opinion about me these days.

I have indeed changed; in the way I dress up and carry myself and also the way I speak and mingle.

I used to be that woman who couldn’t be bothered on how she look like or dress up in public provided she feels comfortable in the outfit that she is wearing, but now, you won’t catch me going out of the house without making an effort to doll up or at least putting up some make up on. Yes. I’m much more vain than before these days, as I come to learn that this world is very realistic. There is no point if you are brainy or talented but you don’t dress the part. Nobody is going to give you a glance what more give you the attention that you actually deserved if you don’t present yourself well.

The same goes with relationship. Men are very visual creature and they tend to gravitate towards beautiful sweet things rather than a plain Jane. Married for 12 years, and I learned that painful lesson the hard way, I’m afraid. I used to think that men will love you unconditionally once they are committed to you but sometimes, that is not the case and they get bored with you easily though they try not to make it show.

Would you believe me if I were to tell you that today, I am not the same person I was a year ago? Well, believe it, because I am not that woman anymore. When I said I’m not who I was a year ago, believe it. I’m a different woman now. I’m somewhat transformed. I believe that I am a better version of myself today than the same day last year.

A lot of things happened to me last year that triggered me to change. Both good and bad. 2013 was the darkest time of my life, but at the same time, it was also a blessing in disguise, as it marks a huge turning point for me where I had to make important choices that leads to somewhat a I dubbed, a ‘spiritual awakening’.

I had to choose between loving people or loving myself, and realizing that sometimes, at the end of the day,the only relationship that would matter is just the relationship with yourself, and not with somebody else, I choose to change and be a better version of me in whole and love myself more. And I’m glad I made that decision, as I discovered that if I don’t love myself and put myself first, nobody is going to love me the way I really deserved, regardless of what I do for them, regardless of my role in their life, and regardless of my sacrifices.

I learned the hard way that when it comes to relationship and marriage, nothing good ever comes out of self-sacrifice. Nobody will appreciate that and will only take things for granted. Take my advice ladies, do not make your husbands or you boyfriends the centre of your world. You will resent that and it will actually destroy the love that you have for each other.

It is important to love yourself first before others, and I’m glad I made that choice, because I’m much happier now, and my happiness no longer depend on the people around me or the people that I have different kind of relationship with.

Ladies, if you made the same mistake that I did where you allowed your role as a girlfriend, wife or mother to dictate your life, please stop, and take charge of your life, right now!

Marriage and relationships is supposed to enhance you, make you shine, make you be a better version of yourself, not the other way around. If you ever feel that hallow feeling that marriage has somehow stopped or restrict you from being that beautiful and confident woman that I know you are, then you are doing it all wrong. Marriage and love relationship is supposed to make you feel beautiful, confident and secure, not ugly or inferior.

You are worth it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Every woman is beautiful. If you have been making a habit to just play Plain Jane, then it is time to start dolling up and be Fabulous Mary. Not sure how to start? Easy, start by taking good care of yourself. Your body. Your appearances. Take care of your skin, put on some makeup. You’ll never believe how much such details could change your life for the better.

Not sure how to start? Well, then…There is plenty of trustworthy skincare and makeup brands out there you can invest in.
