In this era when most of the fashion guides and magazines try to brainwash you about size zero being the epitome of beauty, it is necessary that you learn to love yourself. Beauty does not lie in how tiny your waist is or how skinny your arms are. True beauty comes from within, when you learn to embrace yourself, just as you are. It gets reflected when you learn to be comfortable in your own skin and when you start to smile with confidence. You are beautiful no matter what, and that’s why you can flaunt your body with style at the beach even though you are not a size zero.
