The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.” - Audrey Hepburn

I decided to start up this article with one of my favorite quotes. As a firm believer of inner beauty, I tend to have quite a different perspective on many things. Since the school year is rolling around, many girls worry about what new hairstyle to sport or what bag to carry. 

However, there is important when it comes to crafting your image. Something that can't be bought or displayed in your closet. That quality is confidence. 

First off, accepting your appearance for what it is and isn't. Get rid of your insecurities, and if you can't, flaunt them.

Keep your head up, show good posture, and speak clearly and at a moderate tone. (Would you rather talk to someone you can barely hear or someone with a friendly atmosphere?)

Lastly, be nice. Follow the 'treat others as you want to be treated' rule. What's the use of a pretty face with an ugly heart?

Now go off and flaunt your new found confidence. Enjoy the year coming ahead!
