Magazine articles: first draft

Here is my first draft for my magazine article 

Reflection: I actually rushed my article writing as I did it very close to the deadline which is why it made me work on my time management skills a bit more since it felt really tiring doing it near the submission date. Again it's one of those longer tasks to do as it was a 700 word article but the more I get into the zone and continue writing its almost as if I lost track of time since I kept writing my article until it exceeded 700 words. Once I completed my article I felt relieved yet happy that I put my thoughts and feeling into it even though I didn't check my grammar mistakes as much. This taught me to do my work beforehand even days before the deadline in order to achieve a result thats more than just good or relieve that its done, but happy that the result was excellent.

Title: Enhancing your inner beauty 

Pullquote: Feeling beautiful is a reflection of self acceptance, self confidence, and positive self image. One step ahead F.H slips into the world of self love/acceptance each and every time. (her short podcast and interview) 

Article:

“Loving me, hard at times but I do and i will always do” she says while having her smile widen everytime. “I find that love and kindness can really take you an extra mile as it really did for me, everyday even when I do it once, in some way it brings out the best in me”. The love F.H has doesn't just help her but it can help anyone, appreciating yourself, loving yourself something simple that no one can truly accept fully. This all started from F.H standing on the runway as she gracefully walks into the room, it's evident that her beauty extends far beyond her flawless appearance. She gives off a warmth and authenticity that immediately captivates, inviting you to explore the depths of what true beauty entails. Once she stepped out of the runway reporters surrounded her and asked her questions, her one answer made social media go wild. "When we talk about beauty, it's not just about what you see in the mirror," F.H shares. "True beauty comes from within, it's a reflection of your character, your values, and how you treat others. It's about being kind, authentic, and embracing your uniqueness.

In a career that spans decades and has seen F.H in the limelight, the pressure to conform to society standards of beauty kept increasing. However, she reveals that her journey to enhancing her inner beauty has been a deliberate and mindful one. As it did not start with a simple psychologist or accepting her just like that from zero as she never was someone that was significant in someone's life just like that. Back in School she said that no one really cared about her, no one called her pretty or even acknowledged that she was there so having the spotlight now is not as easy as people seem, especially within the entertainment industry. "The entertainment industry often places a heavy emphasis on physical appearance," she acknowledges. "But over the years, I've come to realise that real beauty goes beyond the surface. It's about being comfortable in your own skin and embracing the qualities that make you who you are." she stated in a recent podcast with Sparks podcasts. 

But, In a world where public figures are often criticised , easily called out for little mistakes, F.H opens up about dealing with criticism and the importance of staying true to oneself. "I've learned that you can't please everyone, and that's okay," she reflects. "The key is to stay true to who you are. Embrace your uniqueness, celebrate your strengths, and don't be afraid to show your weak points as you can learn from them. Then again another hot topic of how F.H can keep her private life away from paparazzi as maintaining a balance between public and private life is a challenge faced by many celebrities. "It's essential to have a strong sense of self, especially in the public eye," she says. "Balancing the demands of fame with maintaining a private life requires setting boundaries and staying true to your values. Inner beauty thrives when you're at peace with yourself, both on and off the stage." Meaningful connections with others contribute to a sense of fulfilment and inner beauty. Nurture positive relationships that uplift and support you.

Another important way for yourself to feel loved is by surrounding yourself with people who appreciate your inner qualities and encourage your personal growth. Enhancing your inner beauty is a lifelong journey, a continuous process of self-discovery and self-love. Creating positive habits, embracing yourself, practising kindness, and nourishing your mind and soul, you pave the way for a radiant inner beauty which allows you to shine not just from the outside but from within yourself. Gratitude is also a powerful force that can transform your perspective on life as F.H mentioned. Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. Gratitude builds a positive mindset, fostering your inner beauty by helping you appreciate the luxuries of life you have experienced. As it comes to a close, F.H quotes “Remember, true beauty is not a destination but a reflection of the love and acceptance you cultivate within yourself.” As you embark on this journey, may you discover the boundless beauty that resides within you, the you that loves herself.
