It’s Okay to Celebrate Yourself, Or to Want Something Different
“My New Year’s message for 2025, is express yourself freely , celebrate your individuality and know that it’s perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror , and it’s also OK to want something different . We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs,” she says. “PS- this post is not intended to hate on anyone, I am just joining the storytelling community and this story is MINE.”
This Year She Took Legal Action Against “Charlatans” Selling “Health and Beauty Myths” About Her
“This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way , while simultaneously I experienced new levels of self -love and genuine confidence from within. I had to pursue some legal action against a few charlatans online selling services based on selling health and beauty myths about me,” she writes.

“For whoever cares , I have never had any face or body surgeries or augmentation, besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth , quite recently . So far , I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind , but I do have a loving , old school facialist who I purchase serums and creams from and I started that when I was 20. The day before photo shoots and red carpets , I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back,” she says.
She Has Used Makeup
“Sometimes on the red carpet or at photo shoots my makeup artist uses face tape to give my eyes , skin and makeup more lift . Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes,” she continues.
And, Makeup Can Do “Magical” Things
“Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look . Makeup can do magical things ! So can great eyebrows ! So can a great hairstylist ! So can great underthings ! These photos I have no makeup and there is no editing or filters on these photos but I do have a spray tan ! 😆 I have spider veins ( 🕷️😮) and they remind me of my mom and aunties and life so I think that’s why I haven’t parted with them so far,” she says.
