A few weeks ago, we asked our dear customers, friends and followers what it was that made them feel beautiful. The response was raw, honest and overwhelming. We decided to gather all the responses up and share them, because we truly believe there’s a lot to be learnt from these words.

Beauty is such a subjective notion and yet as a concept, it shouldn’t be. Beauty is something you see and feel, which changes your mood for the better – and we believe that that is something we can all agree on. Because although beauty can be seen, it must also be felt. So without further ado, we give you – in your own words – what makes you feel beautiful.

“Feeling beautiful is really being yourself..by being appreciated by being complimented and being noticed first and foremost.” ‪Tara Bonello

“When I dress up in something new and know that it suits me, put on make-up and a spray of perfume AND go out with my loved ones, especially with my little grandkids and being told ” Nanna you’re the bestest and nicest nanna in the world! “.

“Feeling beautiful can come from anywhere such as a random compliment out of the blue when you are feeling low and down in the dumps which could send you soaring to the moon and back. One particular episode I remember while at work was when a customer asked for a product which I knew very well we didn’t have on the shelf but somewhere I knew I had seen it in my back store room, after alot of rummaging around, I found it & brought it to the customer. She was literally crying tears of joy and with that she hugged me and kissed me and told me I had made her day. Apart from making me happy the situation also made me feel beautiful inside too.” Solange Abela
