There’s no denying that looking good is important. But I have to be honest, spending hours in front of a mirror perfecting my hair and makeup isn’t the most fulfilling pastime for me. But when I embark on an adventure, I gain so much more than a temporary thrill, having so many different adventures in my life has made me feel more confident, courageous, independent, and resilient. Whether it’s hitting the road on a solo trip, climbing a mountain, or running into the sea, adventure is where I feel most alive, and it doesn't have to be dangerous or expensive. It doesn't have to involve skydiving or bungee jumping. Adventures can be as simple as doing something out of our every day normal routine.
Many women, particularly young girls, are brought up with the belief that their primary purpose is to look beautiful. They are taught to spend a significant amount of their time and resources on fancy hairstyles, flawless makeup, and well-manicured nails. I think it's high time we shift our focus from unrealistic beauty standards towards more exciting, empowering, and adventurous lifestyles. Dressing up to feel great is essential, but it shouldn't be the sole measure of a woman's worth. The world needs more women who know how to play, have fun, and get muddy.
The truth is, women are naturally adventurous - it's in our DNA. We are hardwired to explore, discover and take risks. Societal expectations and gender norms often force women into a 'beauty' box, limiting our self-expression and adventure-seeking spirits. It's time to break free from those limitations. I have made it one of my lifes missions to expose more women to adventure, outdoor activities, empowering them to take control of their lives.
It's okay to take care of our appearance, it's equally important for women to embrace their adventurous and rugged sides. Life is too short to waste all our time and resources on unrealistic beauty standards that are perpetually changing.
Let's break free from these 'beauty' boxes and create more space for ourselves in a world that's enriched by experiences, challenges, and adventures.
