So I’m watching the episode where Jasmine is saying how insecure she feels about herself, and how she doesn’t view herself the way Gino does.
It absolutely floors me that she doesn’t know how gorgeous she looked pre cosmetic procedures. It got me thinking about my daughter’s who are so beautiful and don’t see what I see, and even myself until recently.
Gino did an amazing job of reassuring her, but I just think it’s so sad. Our society just damages women so much. In so many ways.
Jasmine is beautiful, and I hope she realizes it before she gets some botched procedure, or just ends up looking cartoonish.
Even if she was a troll, wasting $$ on cosmetic procedures never seems to fulfill these individuals. They need to learn to love themselves. It sounds cliche, but it’s so true.
Once you love yourself unconditionally, everything else kind of falls into place.

New data from Morning Consult shows the career may continue to grow. According to the report, 57% of people in Gen-Z (people born between 1997 and 2012) say they’d be an influencer if the opportunity presented itself. That number is virtually the same as in 2019 (57%).1

The numbers fly in the face of the drumbeat of information that sounds the alarm about the impact social media can have on mental health. That includes a 2021 report from former Facebook (now Meta) whistleblower Frances Haugen indicating that the company knew Instagram worsened thoughts of suicide and eating disorders in teen girls, among other problems. Early this year, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, M.D., MBA, issued a report blaming social media for contributing to the youth mental health crisis.2
