What’s important is having a beautiful mind rather than just a beautiful face and, if you’ve got both in spades, you’re truly blessed. So don’t worry about your hair, or what you’re wearing, or your make-up. Your smile, full of joy and innocence, and your eyes, sparkling with humour & intelligence, are what makes you beautiful.

Hey Girls, today’s THE BIG DAY, when all that hard work you put in, to be give yourself a fair shot at winning that coveted title, gets a chance to come in handy. Remember, your main opponent is nobody but yourself. Remember that beauty is only skin deep; true beauty always shines from the inside out.

Breathe easy and let contentment radiate; pray and feel the connection to your core. In the end, it won’t matter whether you win or lose but it will matter whether you learn anything from the experience. Feel those things in your heart; they will ultimately give you happiness (They may not necessarily be something you can see or touch).

Don’t worry about what people will say. You are not going to be loved because you are beautiful, you are beautiful because you are loved. When you became a part of this contest, you were like little buds, waiting to flower. Rejoice, for today is the day to show your full glory – that very glory which you achieved not by sitting in the shade but by toiling in the sun.

Stay happy! Just for today, forget about your problems, worries and unconstructive thoughts. Just for today, recollect all those beautiful moments in life which gave you joy and happiness. Just for today, remember that your attitude will be seen before your face. Best of luck girls…stay beautiful, inside and outside. Be a joy forever!
