WINNER: Girl Gets Kita Be Beautiful Birthday Giveaway!

First of all, I want to thank each and everyone who participated in my Birthday Giveaway and to those who actually tweets about the giveaway every single day. You just don't know how much I appreciate the effort always. So, anyway, I decided to do this giveaway via choosing not via raffle.

WHY?

 
 I want to get to know my readers more; and during my Blog Anniversary Giveaway, I did enjoy reading each of your answers so why not run a giveaway which would help me connect with you and get to know you, guys, more? I am glad that most of my readers share the same advocacy with me - Body Acceptance and Supporting the Local Beauty industry. And because of that, I become more motivated and inspired to continue blogging about the things we both love and share in common with. Isn't that better?

So without further ado, let me introduce you to the winner:

I have read amazing answers and believe me, I really had a hard time choosing who the winner should be. But when I re-read everything and came across Mara's post, it touched my soul, honestly. It's something I can, personally, relate to and can be connected to something which has happened to me in the past. Believe me, Mara's tip will take you far and will help you become the really beautiful you. You know what, I had to learn things the hard way.

They say experience is the best teacher but prevention is always better than cure. As much as I would love to say that my experiences in life has made me a better person today, I can't really imagine someone wanting to go through what I have gone through. I don't think I should go into details but one thing is true - I am not perfect and I still make mistakes; bit with every mistake I make, I come out stronger, bolder and better.

Thanks for your answer Mara and congratulations! You will receive an email from HBC on how to claim your prize, okay?

I would also like to thank HBC for always supporting my blog and believing in me. Through my one year and a few months old partnership with the brand, I witnessed how they evolved and have improved; but still maintained reachable for the masses. I'm looking forward to more partnerships with the brand in the future. Again, thank you so much to my HBC Family!

So, let me end this post by saying:

"You are beautiful in your own way. Believe in yourself, believe in what you can do and see how the world believes in you too. Confidence isn't something in born; you will acquire it the moment you learn how to accept yourself. For if you fail to accept who you are and what you are born with, you will fail to realize the real beauty that lies within you. You will never be satisfied, you will always chase for change and depend on the judgement of other people. And, honestly, that is the saddest thing that could ever happen to a woman."
