Amanda de Cadenet Quotes

When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy - guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it's all about how I feel internally.

I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty.

Every girl has days when she doesn't like her appearance, but it's when you feel happy in yourself that you look good.

I feel it is important not to get overly obsessed and overly carried away with just the physical aspect. There is more to beauty than just the physical appearance. You are also a complete person, and a woman should have an identity beyond just the way she looks.

I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful.

If you don't know your worth, if you don't know your value, if you don't know how fantabulous you are - it's going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self is beauty to me.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.

Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.

Maybe you just don't see your own beauty.

For me, whatever age or size I've been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all.

Feeling comfortable in my own skin makes me feel confident.

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

I feel very confident with the way I look. But I felt just as confident the way I looked before. I've always been confident with who I am.

In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful,' like that's a conceited thing to say.

As long as you smile, have sparkly eyes and stick your shoulders back, nobody's going to notice your bum or your waist or your feet, for that matter.

Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.

Body love is more than acceptance of self or the acceptance of the body. Body love is about self-worth in general. It's more than our physical appearance.

Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful.

I gave up on my looks a long time ago.

I used to think I was ugly. I thought I looked like a camel. A person who doesn't love themselves, they will see anything that pops up on their face. I've seen squirrels, I've seen a bird, and I've seen all kinds of animals on my face. But that is the result of self-hate. I've learned to say: 'You know what? I am a beautiful black woman'.

Know that you are worth so much more than the value you place on your body. It's not the only thing that defines you.

Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.

I feel like I have a healthy self-esteem.

It took a long while for me to know that I'm beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I've learned now that beauty starts from within.
