Boom! What a topic to begin with Nina! Body image and styling... Omg where do I start! Firstly congratulations on starting this new publication. I work for a very BIG IT company and having a growth mindset is a key trait at the heart of everything we do. The training itself is deep and meaningful but it gives you that shift you need to be compassionate, open and transparency is key. One of the reasons I stalk you (sorry follow you!) on your vlog and beauty channel is simply because I can resonate with so much with what you say. So thank you for allowing me to finally tell you that! As for body image and styling. I am in a corporate world surrounded by men. I am one of three women in a team of 35. How I dress and style myself is my choice. I maybe only be 5'2", but I've found being myself, wearing what I want, my makeup, my hair, if I feel good, I exude the confidence to be good at what I do. One of my clients is a massive online fashion website and when I go to the Headquarters and see all these model type people working there, my insecurities kick in... Then I look at the way they've applied their cakey makeup and I realise I have come in leaps and bounds with the way I apply my makeup thanks to you, and that makes me even More confident when I'm with my clients! 😂 There are over 2 billion active users on Instagram, don't be afraid of sharing your style, it may not appeal to everyone but remember, you're filling in the gap you've clearly identified!

Thanks so much Ruby! I'm really hoping the publication can be somewhere my audience can come to relate to and find some support. Thank you so much for following my YouTube channels and now this publication - I'm so glad it's helped in some way to make you feel better about yourself! Well done for exuding confidence when you walk into client meetings! Looking forward to the next newsletter to come out and hearing your thoughts!
