Espejito, Espejito: Descubre Tu Belleza Interior
¡Una Guia Para Muchachas de 14 a 17 años, también en español!
Let's get one thing straight.
You are not your hair—frizzy, smooth or limp. You are not your feet—colossal, average or tiny. You are not your thighs—scrawny, muscular or dimpled. You are not your looks.
What you are is far more than the eye can see. You are your culture. You are your history. You are your quirks. You are your talents. You are your goals and accomplishments. You are your relationships. You are your spirit.
And absolutely none of these things can be judged by a photograph.
