Miss Independent | 5 Ideals for Every Woman

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe

1. Confidence

Confidence is your best weapon! Confidence is contagious, exuberant, and embodies the idea that you can achieve anything and everything. No matter your race, gender, sexuality, disability, size, or stature, we are all beautiful and all have something to offer this world. Wear your own brand strong and proud!

2. Love Yourself

Before you can love another, it is imperative that you love yourself! Love is the deepest and most rewarding gift you can give another, but can't be allocated properly unless you love yourself first and foremost.

3. Emotional Stability

People's emotions naturally waver, but an independent woman will maintain her own emotional wellbeing before others. Ultimately you can only control your own behaviors and emotions, so let that be your first priority.

4. Freedom

Freedom is the ability to create your own schedule and have control of your own life. Make yourself your priority as you deserve it. Have freedom to speak your mind, your ambitions, and opinions. This country was founded on opinions and ideas fostered by men, now we as woman, have the right and ability to help create the world we live in. Choose personal freedom and actively make your opinions matter.

5. Attract

The law of attraction states that you attract what you put out in the universe. An independent woman will attract another individual to be their partner, their equal. This pairing of energy will allow both parties to be more successful together, but not a codependent relationship.
