Miranda-Kerr

Teen Vogue has a great article out about Australian supermodel Mirander Kerr, who has just finished writing a book on self esteem and health advice for young girls. I had no idea about this, but I think it’s awesome! I know some might think; what does she know about self-esteem … look at her! However, she might know what she’s talking about – she studied psychology, naturopathy and nutrition at school. And like I say over and over, doesn’t matter if you’re a young student, the president or a supermodel – everyone deals with self esteem issues.

Here’s an excerpt of the article:

“I love to read! I’ve come to consider some of my favorite books as trusted friends I can always depend on,” she says. Her love of the written word is exactly why she recently completed her latest project, a book called Treasure Yourself.

“Your teen years are when you create a foundation for the rest of your life, from habits to ideas of who you think you are and what you believe you are able to accomplish. A confident teen is more likely to set out to achieve what she dreams of simply because she thinks she can. I want to contribute to that.”

And her signature positive attitude has served this 26-year-old well, from her gig as a Victoria’s Secret Angel to her multiple magazine covers.

“One thing I tell girls who want to break in to the industry is that there’s no such thing as ‘looking’ like a model. There are so many different shapes and sizes, and everyone has things they want to change: freckles in odd places, dimples where they might not want them, and hair where it shouldn’t be. Just remember that picture-perfect doesn’t exist — perfection is you, just the way you are.

What do you think? Would you take advice on a supermodel and buy this book? I’d love to read it, if anyone knows anything on release dates, do let me know! :)

It could be interesting to have the point of view of someone generally seen as beautiful because I’m sure that even beauties have self-esteem issues. it’s human ^^

Jules – tell me about it! She’s stunning! :)

Krib – Yup; you can be the most beautiful women in the whole, but you’ll still have self esteem issues. I look forward to her book!

I really want to read her book! Does anyone know when it will be released? I havn’t found anything about the release date, and I’ve been looking for ages! It sounds like the book is finished now, so hopefully it will be soon.

I LOVE Miranda Kerr! She’s an amazing, beautiful person, and I love how she isn’t so full of herself and reaches out to others, especially young girls. I can’t wait to read her book, I’ve been waiting for what seems foooooooorever! :)

Thanks for the info, Hanna. To be honest I kept hearing about how it was “coming soon” etc after awhile I was starting to believe it may never come, haha! Thanks for the link. :)
