 “Diamonds are held under tons and tons of pressure, extremely high
temperatures of fire and shuffled under shifting of tectonic plates, for
a long, long time! Yet when they come out from there and are put on
display for their beauty; does anybody stop to evaluate the diamond
based upon all the shit it’s been through and say “Remember that
disgusting hole it used to be in? I bet it was hell in there!” No,
people don’t remember where a diamond has come from; they just see the
beauty of it now. But it wouldn’t have become so beautiful, you know, if
not for all of that! So why should we look at other people, or at
ourselves and evaluate them/ourselves based upon their/our pasts?
Shouldn’t we forget that? And only see the beauty that is in front of
our eyes? Whatever it was, it made you beautiful! And that is what
matters!”

The Girls Get Talking: An Intimate Afternoon with naFlora

“It’s not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught,
almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our
lives: “This is what you should wear at age twenty”, “That is what you
must act like at age twenty-five”, “This is what you should be doing
when you are seventeen.” But amidst all the many voices that bark all
these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks
the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be
able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at
any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! It’s always
wonderful to be elegant, it’s always fashionable to have grace, it’s
always glamorous to be brave, and it’s always important to own a
delectable perfume! Yes, wearing a beautiful fragrance is in style at
any age!”

As you all know, I am a very busy girl. Aside from blogging (which I do part-time,) I actually do have a job which requires me to be on the go on Weekdays and a slew of other activities combined with that. A lot of my work revolves around philanthropy and my own personal advocacy which is education. Doing this makes me really happy and fulfilled. However, after some time of juggling all my many different projects, I realized the importance of taking time off for oneself to de-stress and to relax. From the get go, I understood the importance of helping myself first before I can help out and be of service to other people. Continue reading My Best Beautiful Self
