Hey everyone!

During my time of being MIA I have been doing a lot of thinking for future videos. I really started this channel wanting to empower young girls and women to feel beautiful ... this beauty does not come from the outside... beauty comes from the inside.

If you don't FEEL beautiful, no amount of makeup could ever cover up what you're feeling inside.

So I thought, ALL of us hide behind masks. Whatever mask that may be.

Are you afraid to speak your truth when you know it might be upsetting to someone else? Do you pretend to be confident when deep inside you feel insecure and unsure of yourself? Do you speak and act differently around certain people to gain their approval and acceptance? Just putting on a happy face when we don't feel very happy. Acting confident and pretending nothing can hurt you.

Hiding behind a mask can be conscious or subconscious. But whatever it is that you're trying to run away from, today is the day to stand up to those fears or negative feelings and look yourself in the face to appreciate and love the image starring back at you.

By wearing and hiding behind a mask you are really prohibiting yourself to 'living life to its fullest' as they say. This, along with other cliché type quotes, can often be overlooked because we say them out of repetition without really stopping to appreciate its meaning. Masks prohibit you to live the fullest life.


So, as you wear your mask... ask yourselves these questions and be honest with yourself. After you're done, look at yourself in the mirror and say ... " I am beautiful. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am an amazing creation. I am capable of doing and accomplishing anything. I don't care if people think I'm weird or strange because I love myself and that's all that matters "


1. What is an insecurity that you hide behind?
I have sweaty hands and feet and that is one of my biggest insecurities because I feel like it gets in the way of everything.

2. What are you afraid of?
Sometimes I am hesitant to post personal and motivational videos on my channels because I don't know how people will take them in.

3. Do you feel discouraged and try to run away?
The world can be very cut throat no matter where you are: at work, at school, with friends. Sometimes I get discouraged when I get too caught up with the world and try to get involved in too much.

4. What will you do to wash away the mask?
Believe in myself and just go for it. If I have an idea or want to get something done, I'm going to push everything else and everyone else's opinions aside and focus on my own.

5. How has this exercise made you feel?
It was a great eye opener and really made me go inside myself and really converse with my own thoughts. I hope that it does the same for you!

So what are you waiting for?

I tag ALL of you ... spread the word and don't be afraid to be yourself! In the words of Bon Jovi

If you feel alone, and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning, is some beginning's end. Welcome to wherever you are. This is your life, you made it this far. Welcome, you gotta believe... that right here right now you're exactly where you're suppose to be. When you wanna give up, and your hearts about to break. Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes



1 Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
