Simply Beautiful

Hi Ladies! Happy Saturday I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day!

I woke up super early, feeling kinda bleurgh…..I’ve had a stomach bug for the last couple of days and I feel kinda wiped out! None the less, I had a dance rehearsal to attend….I yawned my way through the whole thing but enjoyed it all the same

A few days ago THIS lovely lady awarded me this:

I love the whole idea of Operation Beautiful and the same goes for this great award. There are so many women who struggle with low self esteem on a daily basis and, without a doubt, these low confidence levels can creep into all parts of life. “Nothing I wear looks good”, “I look like an elephant”, “I’m not clever enough to study Medicine”, “My friends are all prettier than me”, “I can’t show him my body…he’ll go off me”, “I’m so boring”, “I’m not wearing that…it makes me feel fat”…..yes, low self-esteem can be crippling. I read all these wonderful blogs and the posts that bring a smile to my face the most, are those in which people come to the realisation that they possess some truly magnificent qualities….that’s right YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

I know rules are made to be broken but I make an exception in this case

Da rules!

1. Smile!

2. Write 3 things you like about your looks.

3. Write 3 things you appreciate about your personality.

4. Write about something you find beautiful in other people (looks, personality – whatever)

5. Award as many other people as you like and let them know!

Ok….here goes!

1) Say cheese!

2) Errrrmmmm……..I like my hair. I didn’t used to but now I have openly embraced the long, frizz-bomb look . I like my eye-lashes because they’re pretty long and also because I inherited them from my dad. Ermmmm……oh my belly button. It’s an innie

3) I’m open-minded. You can pretty much tell me anything and I won’t think you’re weird! This definitely stems from my ED, during which I thought about things that I never though humanly possible. I’m a strong believer of “Each to their own”. Secondly, I’m caring. Sometimes I care too much but basically, I just want all my nearest and dearest to be ok and for my patients to receive the best possible treatment for them. Last of all…..I’m really not afraid of being silly! I can dance like a looney toon with the best of em! (Yep…..you’ve seen me in full action haven’t you Michelle!)

4) Most of you guys collectively epitomise, in my opinion, the greatest qualities in a person. You may be KIND and CARING like Carrie and Emma. You may be OPEN and HONEST as you share your stories, like Leelu ,Tessa and Megan. You may be COMPASSIONATE like Katie, who used her blogger status to aid Japanese people in their time of need. In fact girls…..I can’t think of any one of you regular readers who don’t possess most of these amazing qualities. You’re all great!

And now….I’m gonna pass this wonderful award on to the following peeps: Michelle, Carrie, Emma, Julie, Leelu, Tessa, Mariah, Jemma, Katie, Heathy, Lori and Michelle, Olivia, Hannah, Felicia, Alexandra, Grace, Sophia, Lily, Sable, Megan, Lauren, Lauren number 2!, Lenna, Eleah, Kaila, Kat

CHALLENGE!!!! Write an Operation Beautiful note and leave it somewhere where someone will find it…..post it on your blog and let me know!

xoxo

Thank you so much for passing this on to me! This is such a positive thing to add to anyone’s blog
You are gorgeous girl, long lashes are the best!

I think that little side note next to your first picture defeats the purpose of this award.. besides, I think it’s a great picture! You look honestly happy (and happy= beautiful!)
I used to hate my hair, too.. it can easily reach super poof mode. I’ve embraces it, though.

you’re right…..off with the side note! It’s taken me years to embrace how I look – I never dreamed I’d be posting pics on a blog when i was in recovery!….it’s like I always have to justify not looking my best. Not any more! Thanks!

  I totally understand.. when I filled this out on my blog, I had a hard time thinking of positive things to say! I’m so used to being negative about myself.
  It’s a slow process!

Oooh I love the little challenge at the end!
I think it’s awesome that a lot of bloggers have said that one of the things they like about themselves is their silliness. I think it’s so important to embrace the fun-loving, free, childish inner self that we all have.
Also I have always loved your hair ever since I started reading your blog. It’s so pretty!!!

Thanks hun! I love what you said about your personality! Being open minded is such a great trait! I wish more people would embrace openmindedness….it could make the world such a better place!

Thanks for awarding me! I love your answers, that´s so cool how everyone is able to find something they like about themselves! All it needs is to stop for a moment and think about how precious we are:)

I love the Operation Beautiful love going around!

Aww you are the SWEETEST PERSON EVER!! I know I say that every time, but it is SO true! YOU epitomise all those amazing qualities, and being open-minded is such a beautiful quality! Oh, and you are the prettiest girl ever

LOVE YOU!!!

thank you so much love!!!I’m so glad you got this award because it is so completely you…beatiful, honest, and inspiring!
oh and I love your eyelashes they are sky high
