THIS lovely young lady awarded me with–
What I adore the most is what operation beautiful is all about. It is about seeing the true beauty inside. Many girls feel they aren’t of worth, but in fact, they are priceless.
1. Smile!
2. Write 3 things you like about your looks.
I like my eyes.
I like my hair.
I like my freckles.
3. Write 3 things you appreciate about your personality.
I like how I am very gigglely.
Whenever I get excited, I like to bounce around and spin in circles (just like Tigger!).
I love to meeting new people, opening that shell of shyness, and making new friends. Just like all of you!
4. Write about something you find beautiful in other people (looks, personality – whatever).
I love when people smile. A smile can really brighten someone’s day and make them feel 100x better. A power of a smile can literally change the world!
5. Award as many other people as you like and let them know!
These are a few of the new blogs I’ve found and LOVE!

Always remember to SMILE! Don’t let other people tell you what “beautiful” is. There is not a “mold” that you have to fit, like the media WANTS you to think. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
What is one thing you like about yourself? grown to like? One thing I have grown to love about myself is my freckles. When I was younger, I abhorred them. I thought they were ugly and would try to cover them up with face powder. But, I have grown to love them now. They are a part of me. They make me ME.
xoxox
I love this! You ARE beautiful.
I love freckles… When I was little I used to always wish I had more freckles! I guess we always want what we don’t have. 
What I like about mysefl? Hmm I’ve grown to like how muscular and powerful I am. Instead of focusing on weight or “fat spots” I try to appreciate everything I can do and how strong I can be! Maybe I’m not a pixie but i’d rather be bigger and have the muscles…
This comment made my day.
this is lovely! i love that you are giggly
and i also love that you really get excited about things – so great!
I really love your answers on the smile award, you are such a positive person! And you really have the looks to love:)
I have grown to love my body, to be honest. I used to hate everything on it, but now I am finally content with it as a whole. I used to hate my small eyes and lips or totally non-prominent cheekbones, bit somehow I learnt to like them and I realized that nature probably knew what she´s doing when she designed me that way:)
this is beautiful! i lvoe ur smile!
You are so pretty, Kat!
I love the idea of the Smile Award. It is so uplifting to see people accepting compliments about themselves instead of turning them down.
Keep smiling!
I love these posts! They’re so positive. I think smiling is so important because smiles are contagious! Plus, you never know who is having a bad day and your smile could mean the world to them.
Tara, you are so right! A smile can really make someone’s day.
Love this Kat! And your freckles are so cute! One thing I like about myself are my leadership qualities….I am always ready to take charge and get stuff done!

Such a positive post, I love the idea of this award and Operation Beautiful. More self acceptance and love is what we need in this world
this is a great post
love the post you look beautiful!
Just finished my post! Thank you soooo much girl!
Love this post! As always, your words are so inspiring and driven. I love coming to your blog, its like getting a pep talk
Awwwweeeeee, thanks Kat! You are always so kind to me.
Whenever someone is made to feel less than good or beautiful enough, they just gotta remember that there’s a whole industry driven by preying on our insecurities! I find strength in resenting those (advertising, mass media, the fashion industry) who would dare to send me a message that says I am less than awesome just the way I am. Rawr!
So true. So true. Yes you are awesome!!
You ARE beautiful! And yes, you have a gorgeous smile
You are too sweet.
Ok, so first I just have to say that I love that you used the word “abhorred”! It’s kind of an ugly looking word but I love it! Secondly, you are so stinking cute!! I love that pic of you! And I love your freckles!
One thing I love about myself is the color of my eyes. I think they are the perfect shade of green and my favorite color too!
Thanks Heather.
Awww Kathleen! I’ve missed you and your blog SO MUCH!!
You deserve this award SO much because you definitely are a beautiful person! Both inside and out!
I hope you’re doing super well, darling!
