• Let's ditch the body trends may it be naturally skinny, ‘bubblebutt’ or a curvaceous body.
• Let’s stop this never-ending pursuit for the ideal body type, and self doubt and self loathing.
• Try positive talk every morning, and embrace the traits that makes you YOU.
• It matters the way we perceive someone, or perceive ourselves, so stop chasing the long list of traits that you are told makes you beautiful. Instead, embrace your uniqueness and beauty around you.
• Finally remember we are not a mannequin displayed at a shop that is entitled to be rated!

At DesignerFriday, we believe that the only thing that matters is how you perceive yourself and if you like what you see in the mirror. No beauty or fashion trend should define you. 

So, push boundaries. Get out of your comfort zone, boss up, straighten your crown. And most importantly, OWN IT.
