Happy July. Sometime last year Seventeen Magazine created a Girl Power Tag, where celebrities and youtubers were asked to answer couple of questions about girl power. I loved watching these tag videos and decided I wanted to do the tag too.
♥ GIRL POWER TAG QUESTIONS ♥
What does Girl Power mean to you?
There are different meanings of girl power. I think girl power has to do with being able to be yourself without caring about what others think of you. Just be confident with yourself. Accomplish something that will make you truly happy.
I also think girl power has to with receiving education, because you can achieve a lot to transform a better world and self. Most importantly if things go downhill, you still have your knowledge from gaining an education. It's a weapon that no one can take away from you.
Lastly, inspiring and helping girls in need. It's 2015 and right now all I see is competition in this society. I just graduated high school and I can tell you the things I witnessed a lot, were girls trying to be better than other girls, jealousy, girls having this mindset to think that they're too cool to be friends with other girls that are different from them. The only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. With all the events that are going on right now, I say we should unite and stand together. Be the generation that ends the stereotypes, treat people with equality, and aim for positivity in this world.
What is the best advice you can give to girls who want to be powerful?
Always be your true self no matter what type of situation you're in right now. It's important to not let anyone hold you back from achieving great things in your life, such as gaining an education, pursuing a career, starting a family, etc. Do what that's going to satisfy you at the end of the day.
There are going to be several weak points in your life. Don't give up. Every problem you're stuck with dealing, is temporary. There's a solution, figure it out. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. You have to tell yourself, "I can go through this. It may take awhile, but I can do it."
I believe that our life is like roller coaster that goes up and down. Since we're not perfect human beings, it also goes upside-down, twists and turns and other crazy turns. Our life is also like a maze, where sometimes we choose a path that leads to a dead-end and so we try try again not matter how long it takes. My point is don't ever give up until you have tried every solution and you are satisfied with your choice of trying something completely new. It's important to not to have any regrets. Regrets are not worth to risk our happiness.
Most importantly, spread kindness. Be the reason for someone's smile. There are times when we need a little help from others and sometimes, a smile or a hello is just enough. We're all going through something in our lives. There's no need for negativity.
If you could have any super power, what would it be and how would you use it?
Speak every language in the world, because communication is important and extremely valuable. Communication is the key. We're dealing with global problems. We need to unite and help each other out in many areas, such as healthcare, world peace, education, resources, etc. I think we could get more work done if we were able to communicate and have empathy for each other.
Show us your best girl power (picture) pose.
I don't have a picture at this moment :)
What beauty product makes you feel powerful?
I don't use any beauty product. Although I do use Oil-Free Acne Body Wash, I guess that could be consider as a beauty product.
As Marilyn Monroe once stated, "A smile is the best make up any girl can wear."
Why is it important to have power girls as role models?
It's important to look up to someone. we need inspiration to lead our self to become better people. Having someone to look up to, builds confidence and help us reach our goals. We would be lost and have no idea what to do or and where to begin without role models. You can't be what you can't see.
What young up and comer do you think is powerful and why?
Zendaya. She is a role model that everyone can look up to, whether you're 16 or 25, she's there for everyone. She has confidence, she strives for positivity. What I really like about her, is that she stands up for herself and accepts everyone. Most importantly, she expresses herself differently than most girls around her age. I love how she's always herself. I don't ever see her as a negative influence and I hope you don't either.
I thought these pictures would be appropriate for this post hahahaha.
