‘We live in a world where so much is about how we present ourselves on the outside and there is fun to be had here but true beauty comes from within… there is an alignment that needs to happen and finding that balance hasn’t always felt so easy.’
Opening up further, she added: ‘Now, I’m finally at a point in my life where I can see a little more clearly and I want to share my truths in the hope that maybe they’ll help you too.
‘This book is my celebration of how inner and outer beauty can work together in perfect harmony. I hope this book will start conversations, whether they’re about how to find your signature lipstick, reclaim your sexuality, or treat yourself more kindly – and, ultimately, what it means to feel beautiful, confident, complete.’

‘It’s called Reflections and it’s a book about inner and outer beauty and I think the reason I’m so nervous about telling you all this today is because it means an awful lot to me and because when you put a lot of yourself out there, you feel quite vulnerable doing it and there is definitely little pieces of me between the pages of this book.’
She went on to say that in society, people ‘put themselves out there visually’ via social media, but it ‘doesn’t match’ what’s beneath the surface.
She added: ‘There needs to be an alignment of what’s going on on the outside and what’s really happening beneath the skin.’
