I Am Beautiful – 30’s

Hi, this is Wendy.  While Allen was busy working alone without me, I got bored.  I needed something to do other than blogging about food.  That was how this idea was conceived.  I wanted to do a makeover project for women in different stages of their lives.  Maybe it was because I went through a period of not feeling very confident about myself a few months ago.  Frankly, adding another year to my age was not my idea of a happy birthday.  I asked Allen to do a photoshoot for me in which I got myself all glam’ed up and dressed up.  I lOVED my photos!  Let me just say, they were quite an ego booster.  🙂

To begin the project, I was looking for someone in her 30’s.  Suki had approached Allen and me for a project of her own a couple of months ago.  Since then I had my eyes set on her also for mine.  ‘I have always felt insecure about my look and shied away from the camera.’ she said.  Hard to believe, I know, because she is a natural beauty.  But I also know a lot of women felt the same way.  That was what prompted me to do this.  And I hope to help more women to come out of their shells.

Suki is a no frill girl.  On most days, she doesn’t wear any make up and ties her hair in a pony tail.  She is very lucky to look pretty au natural!  A little make up on her face and a few curls on her hair, she sparkled with her beautiful smile!

‘I am ecstatic looking at these images.’  She sent me a message via Facebook.  ‘I’ve never had pictures like these.  I love them!’ she said.

Awwww, we think you look absolutely breathtaking, Suki!

‘I like how the makeover brought out what people love most about me – my smile.  And how it accentuated other features.  For the first time, I can actually look at these images and see myself as beautiful and what others must see when they look at me.  It gives me  more confidence and optimism.’ she wrote.

I breathed a sign of relief and my heart was full of joy!  I think I’ve accomplished what I set out to achieve.  I want women to realize how beautiful they are from the inside so that the confidence shines on the outside.  Stand up tall and tell the world ‘I AM BEAUTIFUL!’
