How beautiful are you? Ask Facebook!

This article is in line with what we learnt from our guest speaker Patrick about our online image. Thanks to Social Media, an entire generation has the medium to find confidence in their looks. No longer do they have to conform to the models we see on 30 second TV ads or the hairstyle carried by our beloved Hollywood professionals.

For all the negatives out there, I think you'll find this story to be comforting and supportive of the good that comes off Social Media. Here is a definitive quote from one beneficiary that summarizes the article: "Sometimes, we pay too much attention to a negative troller, but overall, more people are realizing the power is in their own hands to use social media in a positive way," she said. "For the first time ever, we are finally taking our images and actually owning, controlling and sharing them the way we want to. We are finally shaping, sharing and owning our beauty stories."

Everyone can look pretty and handsome with just a little effort and the right guidance!
