Photo Of The Day

Your favorite celebrity get to dress up in amazing cloths all the time but sometimes, they come out wacky, trashy and tacky. Well, the "so called" celeb are human and hence, they are bound to have their moments. Anyway, the Nollywood actress, Ini Edo posted her picture on Instagram few hours ago looking all stressed up but managed to give a pose in a black fitted dress.
 This dress look cheap to me but I'm not sure about this bag and shoe I see everywhere. Although, she's been posting pictures of expensive bags on Instagram lately,  so I would like to think that this Louis Vuitton bag and the Valentino sandals are real. Behold the look:

QUICKIE: Is It Really About The Likes?

I was going through my reading list and saw this article about "likes" on Instagram and decided to share with you. This article is directed to teenagers but for me, it's a MUST for all ladies to read this.

Is it really about the likes?

"The answer to most teens is, YES! I am seeing that many of my peers have an unhealthy obsession with how many "likes" their pictures (especially selfies) receive on Instagram. Many of my friends seem to believe that the more likes they get on their picture, the more attractive they are. Many teenage girls will go as far as to delete their photo if it doesn't receive a certain amount of likes in a given time period, and I personally know of many people who if their photo doesn't receive at least fifty likes in twenty minutes they will delete it off Instagram. Girls also have a habit of giving a simple like so much more weight than it deserves, some girls will think that a guy likes her if he just likes her Instagram picture. Now in some cases this may be true, but that is pretty rare that a guy is trying to send you a message with a simple like on your photo. To some people, it may be puzzling that all that most teenage girls worry about are how many people "like" their photo, but the reason they care so much is simple. Teen girls need to feel validated, and with the rise of social media; likes have become a way to measure your self-worth. It is ridiculous to measure who you are as a person based off of how many likes one photo receives. You are so much more than just a photo! As for me, I think that is completely ridiculous. I feel that if you are confident enough in your picture that you want to put it out there for the whole entire world to see on any social media, then you should be confident enough to stand behind your photo regardless of the likes the photo may or may not receive. So many people have created this obsession with being validated on social media whether it is by your follower count, or by your amount of likes, and I think that it needs to end now. A teenage girl is worth so much more than the amount of likes on her Instagram picture, or the amount of followers she has"- Samantha Mayberry

Every woman should feel good about themselves. I know that feeling good about one's self can be a struggle, but it is achievable. Figure out what you like about yourself and let it shine. That's what real beauty is all about. The truth is the more you pursue self-esteem, the more your confidence and happiness recedes. Stay True to yourself, Happy Friday!
