My best friend had a baby last night. A healthy little girl who is already screaming at her.

I decided that on my little pseudo-niece’s first day in the world I couldn’t write about makeup or vanity or anything addressing one’s exterior.

I want her to grow up to be a strong, confident woman who knows she can be anything she wants to be and that no matter what, she is already the most beautiful woman in the world.

So, today, I’d like to remind us all that we are most beautiful when we are ourselves. Without apology.

Welcome to life, baby girl.
