Beauty, My Dear.

I have been receiving a lot of endorsement offers from beauty clinics providing cosmetic surgery to try out their services for free. By "try out", it literally means go for an actual plastic surgery, jaw shaving, botox, filler, breast implant, you name it. I have always politely declined these offers no matter how much they try to persuade me. Until one clinic from Korea asked me, "why are you so hard to get?". This question surprised me to a point where my eyebrows reached its highest limit and my jaw dropped. "Hard to get?".

Let me make it clear. I believe in natural beauty. I believe in loving myself because this is how God created me. I love my chubby cheeks. I love my double chin. I love my puffy eyebags. I love the person inside me. I love myself for who I am. Simply put, I am extremely grateful for all the features I have, and I don't need to change anything just so I look "perfect" in photos. Therefore, it is not just a matter of "oh I got a free offer, let's give it a try!". Girl, life is more than freebies. You gotta have values, girl.

I guess such mindset of mine is hard to believe in this day and age, because the cosmetic surgery industry is just getting bigger and bigger, and they are even reaching out to influencers to help spread their wings.

As an influencer, I have the responsibility to stand up for what I believe is right. I pray and will try as hard as I can to raise my children to become happy beings - beings who are grateful for who they are and what they have.

If you disagree with me and think cosmetic surgery is fine, I respect your decision.

xoxo
