What Makes You Feel The Sexiest And Most Beautiful, According To Your Zodiac Sign
It's a feeling you want to last.
getty There’s a difference between looking beautiful and feeling beautiful. And they don’t always happen at the same time. When you don't know how to feel sexy and gorgeous in your own skin, your confidence takes a hit.
And even though each zodiac sign has their own ways to feel good about themselves, it's much more than reading an encouraging horoscope or adhering to what astrology says about you.
Beauty definitely isn’t only skin deep — it’s your confidence, your overall outlook, how you feel, and the light in your eyes. When we feel beautiful, we feel good. We feel as if we can do anything. We’re hopeful and believe in our abilities and talents.
There are times when, no matter what you do, you’re still not going to feel beautiful, so you have to fake it until you make it. If you know what usually makes you feel pretty and confident, do those things and you’ll find that you’ll start to feel much better.
Beauty isn’t just about showing off your best features, it’s about doing those things that make you feel beautiful.
