​Christmas and New Years Vac 🐳

I have been given the opportunity to spend my Christmas and New Years in Cape Town. I have been staying with my GREAT Grandparents in Heidelberg and will be traveling up to Fish Hoek to my cousin for New Years🎆

While I’ve been down here, one gets plenty of time to think…. and I have come to the conclusion that I desperately need to send out a message to our beautiful girls.🌻👧

I have always struggled with the factor of acceptance, and have recently overcome a big obstacle in my life, ONLY WITH MY MOTHER AND GOD’S HELP (I must say). ⛪Recently I have been listening to Alessia Cara’s ‘Scars to your beautiful’ and I cannot even express how much I think this song was almost made just for me.

The lyrics are as follows: 

Scars To Your Beautiful

“She just wants to be beautiful

She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits

She craves attention, she praises an image

She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor

Oh, she don’t see the light that’s shining

Deeper than the eyes can find it

Maybe we have made her blind

So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away

‘Cause cover girls don’t cry after their face is made

But there’s a hope that’s waiting for you in the dark

You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are

And you don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful

Oh-oh, oh-oh

And you don’t have to change a thing, yhe world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful
She has dreams to be an envy, so she’s starving

You know, covergirls eat nothing

She says beauty is pain and there’s beauty in everything

What’s a little bit of hunger?

I could go a little while longer, she fades away

She don’t see her perfect, she don’t understand she’s worth it

Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface

Oh, oh

So to all the girls that’s hurting

Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer

The light that shines within
There’s a hope that’s waiting for you in the dark

You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are

And you don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful
Oh-oh, oh-oh

And you don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful
No better you than the you that you are (no better you than the you that you are)

No better life than the life we’re living (no better life than the life we’re living)

No better time for your shine, you’re a star (no better time for your shine, you’re a star)

Oh, you’re beautiful, oh, you’re beautiful
And there’s a hope that’s waiting for you in the dark

You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are

And you don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful

Oh-oh, oh-oh

And you don’t have to change a thing, the world could change its heart

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful “

When I look at these lyrics, it’s actually the most beautiful thing a girl can hear… But the reality in these words … hit hard.

You are beautiful, You are a masterpiece…. Perfectly created by our Heavenly Father 💛

 You don’t need ANYONE to tell you and reassure you that you’re beautiful or accepted. 

In Proverbs 3 NIV, it talks about a blessing people will receive when they associate with you.

To speak this piece of scripture over yourself could change your mindset and self-esteem drastically.

“She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (16) Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. (17) Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. (18) She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”

I pray this blessing over each and every one of you. We need to stand up and worry about ourselves… 💛  I pray God’s blessing over our nation’s women… may God completely fill you from the inside with love, and may you recognize your self-worth and be satisfied with you being you. we don’t have to change anything about ourselves…. 

I hope this inspires  you, or just reassures you that you can do it, and you can do it with God’s help… 💛 

Stay tuned beautiful x 

Ciao for now…
