Fearless, Foxy and Fabulous is a sense of mind set and
life mantra that began on my 17th Birthday in 2012. Tired and
exhausted by my own faults and stupidity, I wanted 3 words to not only typify
what I wanted to be as a young woman but to detox myself from society and my
own false sense of reality . Eager to be better and do better, I started the
challenge. 1 year. 1 year to completely reshape the inner me.
As all challenges one sets for themselves, this challenge
was extremely tough. I created several rules or expectations for myself. For
example:
1. I
stopped reading teen fiction, particularly teen romance
2. Stopped
thinking that my life was going to be like an American teen flick
3. Stopped
wanting my image to change
4. Accepting
my reality, no matter how boring it was
5. Boys
suddenly became like magazines, flip through but you finish quickly, meaning I
had very little brain space dedicated to them. Very little. But as you get to
know this wasn't always the case. I made mistakes, because that’s what humans
do.
6. Become
the friend and person I would want to encounter
They sound a little overwhelming but I thought they were
necessary to effect some real and tangible change. I will sometime in the
future explain more in depth each rule.
Along my year long journey, I learned a lot from not only
myself but my friends also. I believe that at times we must push ourselves in
several ways to gain knowledge, whether by extensive reading, or simply just
striving to do better in everyday life like I did.
I won’t lie, I am no genius, but I simply just watch the
world around me, absorb and learn. My friends seem to think I have some good
stuff to share, so this is how the blog came to fruition. I will blog about
issues that I think modern girls are facing, ranging from ‘The Pretty Selfie’
to the everyday issue of confidence. I aim to simply share my view on such
topics.
If you don’t like my opinion, fair enough J
If you do, sweet J
Take up the Fearless, Foxy and Fabulous challenge for a
year ( follow some or all of my rules or even better make your own) and I
promise by the end of the year, you will be one happy, healthier girl ready to fearlessly
take on the world, feel great about herself inside and out exuding a certain foxy
feel and be rendered fabulous by all those you encounter.
