Here’s the truth: To look like a celebrity you have to have a stylist who can look at your body and will dress you in the right clothes to conceal your flaws and accentuate your strong points. The book *The Science Of Sexy* shows you how to do this yourself, and is a great book! ### You will then need a professional makeup artist and hair stylist and be willing to sit in a chair for sometimes two hours to make you perfect. *That’s right–two hours.* After that you will spend thousands of dollars on facials, injections, skincare products, laser treatments and a personal trainer to make you perfect. *Did you catch that? Thousands.* ### And after all of that–you will only be let down because only God will make you feel whole and worth something. *Worth more than Gold.* ### I have accepted that I am not perfect, and that’s okay. From the beginning, staring at my reflection in the mirror as a young girl in dance class was never something I really enjoyed. I knew I was a good ballet dancer, but why didn’t I have just a little bit of a smaller waist, be a little more flexible, or have prima ballerina feet? As I went through my teens I battled acne and again I would say, > *“Why can’t I just have perfect skin like my best friend?”* ### I was obsessed with perfectionism. Although I never beat myself up about it too much, or dared to tell someone about my obsession, it was always there. ### Now almost 20, in July of 2011 I became a licensed Esthetician. As my career began, I loved it! It was so much fun being able to help women relax, transform their skin, and make them feel good about themselves, inside and out. ### For a while something was still missing; I didn’t feel good inside and out about myself. Although now I knew all about the treatments tips and tricks, I would often still look at my blemished and scared skin, or cellulite on my stomach and say, > *“Why can’t I get rid of this and be perfect?”* ### As I began my second job in the Esthetics world I moved to a larger city and became very busy. I was constantly reading magazines, Esthetician blogs, beauty websites, taking classes and whatever else I could find to further my career, but at the same time I became even more engulfed in perfectionism. I began working out 4-5 days a week, eating a strict diet–I knew these things were good. *But.* ### I wasn’t getting healthy for the right reasons. After a little time God began to show me how to see things from a different light. One day I realized, > *“I have never met one woman who looks like the magazines do.”* ### Out of the hundreds of women I’ve met there is not one who has perfect skin, hair, nails and has an hourglass shape with perfect proportions. *Each woman is unique and beautiful.* *That’s when it finally clicked.* ### I may not have a perfectly thin waist with zero body fat or cellulite, or be incredibly flexible, or have perfect skin. What I do have is beautiful hazel eyes, super soft hair and long toned legs–which I LOVE! I also love the birthmark the goes up my arm which makes me unique! I now look at my body daily with every bit of imperfection mixed with beauty, and smile. ### My body is just how God made it to be! *He is the perfect Esthetician.* I have also realize that being imperfect in body here on earth only gives us another thing to look forward to in Heaven, because only then will our bodies be perfect! > *“But in fact God has placed the parts of the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be” (1 Corinthians 12:18).* > > *![](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2012/11/kaylajohnson-150x150.jpg "kaylajohnson")Kayla Johnson is an Esthetician, dancer, and ballet teacher in Ohio.
