🦋 You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
its crazy how lots of insecurities are purely cultural, as a latina with a big butt I have never ever being insecure about it, it has always being trendy around here, other parts of my body that´s a different story, but what I´m trying to say it´s that you talking about that it´s just a huge cultural shock for me. Cassandra you look stunning as always, inside and out
same, being black the community we grow up in big butts were always a trend. if you didn't have a big butt then you would try ur hardest to make it grow. so hearing that for me was also a culture shock.
Cassandra, I have a gummy smile and it’s one of the things that I’ve gotten complimented for a lot. A lot of men in my life have told me it’s cute. We need more gummy smile appreciation.
My mom got an arm lift surgery. After I was born (I just turned 18 and my mom just turned 50) she got a gastric bypass and went from 300lbs to 150lbs. So obviously she ended up with loose skin. She had wanted to have this surgery for YEARS and since she did she has been soooo happy. And she doesn’t have to shave her arm pits anymore which she also says “just another plus!”
Plastic surgery can truly be life changing
Absolutely love this video. You are literally me about 25 years ago. It only took one person to tell me I had a big nose and it threw my confidence out the window. I worked for a plastic surgeon years ago and asked him if he could do a rhinoplasty on me. He unequivically said absolutely NOT. He told me I had a great nose and I've loved it ever since. The only thing I've done throughout the years is chemical peels every 5-10 years. I've always had TCA peels. I'm in my fifties now and I still don't need botox or filler. We actually even have the same shaped face.
A chemical peel only every 5-10 years? That’s interesting. Also, I'm happy you like your nose now :)
@@JasminMiettunen Yep, they get the job done. It takes a week of hiding out but really worth it.
How early did you start with the TCA peels? I'm in my early 30's, and have a little bit of melasma, and a little bit of texture issues, and was thinking about a TCA peel, as I can work from home about as much as I want
@@lollsazz I had my first one at 32 . It only took a week for all the skin to peel and leave it looking fresh and new.
Don't give those people that bullied you for your small boobs a second thought, I got bullied and sexually harassed for having larger than average boobs in Hs. I don't think anyone escapes without being bullied for something. Loved this video, I have similar views of procedures. Maybe I will get some down eventually but maybe not.. Definitely don't have any hard opinions/judgements for what others choose to do.
A girl in my class was once bullied for having very shiny looking hair.😂 They would always come and say "do you brush your hair with a toothbrush? It's too shiny *hahahaha*"... so it really doesn't mean anything, some just feel like bullying, no matter what
"The feeling is more important than the facade."
Beautifully said.
Can I just say that you are such a ray of sunshine. You are not only beautiful outside but your personality is such a breath of fresh air. I absolutely admire your honesty and your humor. Keep doing what you are doing girl!
Cassy with her transparency, at the end of the day we appreciate of who you are!!
I totally appreciate your unique perspective: 1) History of severe acne 2)been in the modeling world 3) and being a medical professional in the world of skincare/procedures…🤗 I don’t think ANYONE has that resume tbh!!
I did Coolsculpting about 6/7yrs ago. After finally getting to a healthy weight after almost 20yrs of yo-yoing, I spent the following years flogging myself at the gym .. 2 classes back-to-back, hiking, swimming, lunging, squatting and burpies until I literally dropped, but I NEVER lost those pockets of fat. Coolsculpting was, for me, amazing. I have never looked back and I have never ever regretted it. Yes I still have cellulite .. is my body 'perfect' .. NO!!! (I can hear James Welsh in my ear .. 'no such thing as perfection'!!) .. but it made a huge difference for me and my body confidence. I am a happy 52yr old who no longer has problems swimming in public without wearing a very large tee-shirt .. which by-the-way nearly dragged me to the bottom of the ocean 🤣 As you say, do whatever you feel is right for you, not what you think other people think you should do .. but before you do ANYTHING .. research, read, talk to specialists AND if the cost is too good to be true .. RUN .. then have an honest conversation with yourself .. after that .. go do you!!!
I get lip filler once every 3 years. It lasts!! By 2.5 years I don't see anything left in my lips. But I really want to avoid looking over filled or like a duck. I have super thin lips and I just wanted to have a little more of a canvas for lipstick. I'm happy with the results and it doesn't take much filler at all. Next I want to tackle my acne scars
Your nose is adorable. I can't believe people made you feel bad about it!
I did not even notice most of the imperfections you pointed out about yourself 😂 My mom always told me we are way more critical of ourselves than others and I totally believe it! A lot of my insecurities went away when I dated people that lifted me up. I am a firm believer that we see ourselves with the lens of those around us. You are so pretty, Cassandra!
Cassandra, you are such an amazing queen thank you for taking the time to spread the positivity.
At 52 years old, I started my journey into medical esthetics in 2022. I was looking in the mirror and not recognizing who I saw and it was making me very insecure. Although my skincare regimen had vastly improved my skin since discovering K beauty in 2019, the signs of aging caused by sun damage had really suddenly taken a toll....and I simply did not like it. I have received Botox in my face and some small threads and I did opt for lip filler because, well, I wanted it! And I am going to say that I LOVE ALL OF IT. I look refreshed and glowy and how I want to look! I do not foresee myself going for anything much more invasive than some skin tightening for my neck and jawline, but I will continue with the Botox and some fillers because it has made me VERY happy. The biggest thing I've learned? SUNSCREEN. I am an absolute nag about sunscreen! I have been very open about my procedures on my socials and in my life and absolutely advocate for people doing what makes them happy in their own skin.
I use the Truly boob and tummy products, and I really like them. Idk if they actually do anything, but it makes me take care of my body as well and not just my face, and I like that.
You're amazing for being transparent and telling us everything. You're the best!! ❤️❤️
You are so real!! I’m glad you’ve been in this platform for so many years
Thank you for an overview of some in clinic procedures and also thank you for avoiding kombucha in your videos. I'm grateful for your health consciousness around that and hope you see our feedback as a light in your day, because you are bringing light to us!
OMG I love that big smile of yours! More happy gums to the people!
Love you Cas
Have been watching you for a long long time and I couldn't thank you enough for all that you do
As a 47 year-old, naturally salt & pepper (which can get frizzy AS!), curly dodette 😛 in hiding... I get my hair blow dried every week, but I always ask my hairdresser to add some curls at the bottom (as long at the top is nice and smooth and sleek!). funnily - my youngest daughter has got my curly hair and SHE LOVES IT!! She totally embracing it and even mentioning a blow dry or straighten and she walks off 😝. So Proud of my little fire cracker!!!
Love your videos, the info and education is out of this world! 😍😍😍
Liposuction damaged my legs for life. The pain wakes me up numerous times when I'm sleeping which means I can't lie on either of my sides. The pain I have down my thighs is excruciating. I had it done in 2008 at a very VERY reputable clinic in Cape Town South Africa. If I could turn back time...
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear this. I had no idea that liposuction carried this sort of risk.
@dewilew2137 thank you sweetheart 🙏 I was SO skinny at the time. I actually didn't need liposuction but I did it because I thought if I was thinner, I might be able to save my relationship 😢😢😢
This is a good conversation. It’s so important to embrace the things we don’t like about ourselves. And celebrate our differences. And our unique facial structures.
Having procedures done because you want them done is one thing, doing it to please others is problematic. I will most likely get a breast lift in a few years. I work out and take care of myself but if in a decade or more I see an issue then I will do what I can to resolve it. Separately the music is a bit loud and distracts.
@@Jess-737 did they offer to pay at least cause it's not cheap 😂
@@star_fruitti seriously this! If someone's gonna try to pressure someone else into getting any sort of invasive procedure done, their wallets better be wide open!
For the recovery stage too!
@@Jess-737 why did several men think they should bring that up? I have to ask, but where are you from? Because I have never experienced something like that, but I had a friend in Iran, where these types of surgeries are more common, and I assume men there are more entitled to tell you to change stuff about your body.
@@corneliahanimann2173
I used to live in Venezuela…when it was still a democratic and economically growing country. Anyway.
My friend was a college teacher there. He told me that the year he started teaching, after the 2nd semester had begun, he couldn’t help but notice that something in 4 of his female students’ anatomy had changed.
He was then told that, as they had successfully made it to the 2nd semester, they had been offered by their parents…new boobs !!! He told me that back then it was pretty common.
@@Jess-737 That's so horrible, you deserve better than that. If a guy is like this honestly its a massive red flag & you dodged a bullet no longer being with them. In a way, i'm kinda glad I haven't dated many guys, my self esteem couldn't handle jerks like that currently.
Thank you so much for your transparency! I've never felt that you need to explain your personal decisions about your body to me but again, I appreciate you being so open and honest ❤️
We love an honest and transparent Queen! This is why I am a loyal Butterfly! 🦋
You’re such a beautiful woman. Ppl get surgery to look like you! Thank you for your transparency
ABSOLUTELY about the fact that people should go through some type of mental health check before a procedure !! Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning this Cassandra ❤ We love you !!
I absolutely feel you on the curls. I was a 90s girl, when pin straight hair was in. I didn't learn to care for them until I was an adult. Frizz, fly-aways, never bangs, ponytails, etc until I was in my 20s, when I realized that my mom shopped for the budget, and I could give my locks what they needed. I've since done pixie cuts, grown the out, short bobs, long layers, a side shave, undercut, and eventually a Mohawk. Currently rocking a shag.
So glad you got your channel back!
I think your curls are adorable! Curls look so youthful and lively.
Thank you! As you said, it's no one's business, can't be easy to share something as personal as this. I have considered procedures like lip fillers for my small lips and cryotherapy (cool sculpting?) for stomach fat, but I'm glad I was able to talk myself out if it. Took me till 29 to be ok with my body, and I'm still learning.
I would love if you could teach us about the rest of the body, the way you talk about skin. Your videos are so informational, it has made me feel and behave like a skintellectual. We need an equivalent for being smart about our bodies too! Please sign my petition, fellow butterflies!! 😃😃
If I have learned something from Lorry Hill is to not get fillers. Less invasive does not equal less damaging.
i have to say i was shocked when I tried dry brushing to lessen the appearance (and some cases completely get rid of) of my stretch marks. I know, I know it sounds gimmicky but it worked!! I wasn't trying to tackle them at the time, I was trying a new (to me) technique of exfoliation on my legs as they're usually quite dry. I do recommend giving it a go to anyone that wants to try it, its inexpensive and if the marks don't fade you will have lovely exfoliated skin at least :)
I love your natural curls. I think they suit your face and compliment your eyes ❤
Your curls are amazing! I hope you'll learn to love them. The blowout looks very nice too. And your smile is perfectly infectious. I wouldn't even have noticed that it is "gummy"... It just goes to show that others seldomly see our "flaws". You just shine when you smile - I hope that you feel radiant inside and outside more often than not 💖✨
Gosh I love your transparency. Thank you❤
You are a great person.Very genuine!
Kudos to you for choosing to deal with your insecurities and heal them from within. You have come a long way and are true inspiration for others for your body positivity, for accepting your own beauty and learning to love it and appreciate it. Btw I find your natural hair ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Amazing video. Not just because of your honesty but OMG how many interesting information!!! All these kind of treatments I'm going to considerate for myself :D
Omg I totally remember watching that waxing video when it came out! That’s crazy how time flies. Love your videos ❤
Thanks for sharing your professional and personal experience with us! I never cared about other people’s opinion, but when it’s from your own family, since you’re a kid, it get into your head. My older sister always pointed out how I was hairy, as I was getting into puberty. So, unconsciously I started to hate my body hair and I got it removed by IPL as soon as I started to make my own money. Just a few years ago I realized it was just because of her I did this.
Hi Cassandra! Love your message about body positivity. Everybody’s choices are their own business….no justifications required! Thank you for the explanations on the different procedures. Have a great year in 2023 ❤
I love her and just picked your comment bc I saw it first but what everyone gets done is everyone’s business bc it affects as all. When people don’t come clean about the work they have done it morphs the public perception of what is ideal beauty.
In that sense, I totally agree with you.
I love your channel Cassandra, I love what you do.
I really enjoy your story both in clinic & at home procedures
You are the queen !! May you always stay a beautiful positive Butterfly !! ♥️
Very informative love this! Thanks for talking about all this!
I love this kind of transparency, I think it's so important. I started botox younger than most, at about 25.
I had a brow/frown area so heavy I could feel it most days, it was so uncomfortable, it had been like that since my teens - just genetics I guess.
Since my first botox session (I go x2-3 per year), I haven't felt that discomfort since, even when I let it wear off for a bit! It's made such a difference for me and my day-to-day comfort, I don't feel like I'm trying to hold up my brows 24/7, lol.
Be-you-tiful Cassandra. Beauty on the inside and the outside, always. ❤️❤️❤️
@cassandra is hard for me to believe that you such a beautiful person in and out, somebody I literally I can’t stop staring how beautiful you are, think that you have any insecurities 😢 you are amazing, intelligent and really gorgeous ❤ thank you so much for sharing this to us… in my case I am currently suffering from a very weird acne in my chin that is coming and going and it hits me everything time 😢 lucky people have been so kind to me on not remind me of this horrible thing I have, but I been hard on myself cuz I don’t feel beautiful and I do suffer of low self esteem… I tried distracting myself by doing my hair and dress well… but is just that one look on the mirror and by accident I look my chin I start to self destruct… but thank you so much for this video ❤❤❤ I really appreciated ❤❤❤
I always love nature curly hair ❤I always consider people with natural curly hair is so lucky 🍀 and always have a special feature look that’s so beautiful 😻 you are beautiful and special in your own soul 😻
I ALSO HAVE TWO UTERUSES! YAY! i got one removed
I ALSO ONLY HAVE ONE KIDNEY. it wasnt taken out it just never grew. they got a specialist to look inside me there was no tube or anything it didnt even try
wow I didn't know that was even possible.
Omg, you look so beautiful with your natural curly hair!
Love your content and thanks so much for your transparency!!!
Also would you mind doing an updated LED device video? ❤️
I've been in a car accident so I want to get some work done this made me look at it in a different manner going in to it ..thank you love you x
I appreciate the honesty and transparency with your videos always. While yes it’s no one’s business what procedures a person gets done, when ppl claim they are “natural” but there has been a distinct difference in face/ body, that’s when I think it becomes harmful. I’m always for plastic surgery/ procedures/ etc “do what ya want” just don’t lie about it. I’ll never lie about mine 😂, love my botox
I got lipo at 17 years old. I was always thin (bmi around 20) but carried a lot of weight in my midsection despite being very active. I felt that removing the fat cells from that area would make me look more proportional and improve my long-term health since having a lot of fat in your midsection around your organs is linked to many chronic diseases. I was sooo happy with the results of lipo and 10 years later am still so thankful for it and for my flat stomach!
I love your curls! Looks amazing on you 😊❤❤❤
Thanks for your honestly! We ❤ u the way u are!
What a good point about Taylor Swift's curly hair! I would love to see her with curls again.
That was a great video of the overview of the things that can be done and the things you have done. I would never do a thread lift because of the things I have read and videos I have seen. I once saw a video a while ago about a woman who did a thread lift, and everything was fine for a few months; then, one day, she smiled, and the thread inside her cheeks snapped and slashed inside her cheeks. I think you have a beautiful body and skin to match.
Ps
Literally, can't believe they exists a place that would actually tell someone to get a nose job just to work there. That is crossing boundaries on a scale to high to even place into numbers.
This video was so well done 💗
I totally understand the curly hair thing. My hair is the same and its always been soo much work to blowdry and straighten, curly hair method on the other side was nice but when I look like pricess Lilifee it just doesnt suit me and how I feel. I did a keratin treatment by myself, I needed 7 hours to do it and it was sooo much work... But worth it. Didnt want to use the cheap ones from amazon until I found someone on CZcams who did his own without formadehyde. The hair was pinstraight without volume for 2 weeks and now its perfect and lasts. First time for me to blowdry my hair and its not a mess - its straight and shiny!! Will do this forever 😁🙌 highly recommend!
The natural curls on you look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful!!! what I would give to have curls like that!!!!
@@Kelly-pp1et I’m not talking about the ones in the video, I’m talking about the ones in the pictures she showed
I’m not sure if you’re allowed to, or you already have, but would you ever do a video on the different reasons people get plastic surgery/other medical esthetic procedures? When you mentioned people doing it to patch up a marriage I did a double take and I just think it would be interesting to hear some of the good vs bad reasons to receive these procedures. Love your channel and all your work!
I love Platinum Skincare home chemical peels! Just did one last night. I had tried a few from Amazon that weren’t great, but the Platinum ones work really well and are much less irritating.
Omg Cassandra please wear ur natural hair!!!! It is SO BEAITIFUL💜💜
Thank you for this video! ❤️ Till the end I was waiting for CO2 laser opinion 😅
Great message worth spreading✨️✨️
Those clips of your life are amazing 🤩 you should vlog ❤
It's really interesting to hear that we had/have the same insecurities/percieved "problem areas", because we look so much alike. Just goes to show that we're converging towards a societal standard. I'm very interested in the art and science of aesthetic procedures. Even though I don't NEED them, I often play with the idea of what certain surgeries/fillers/etc would to the structure of face for the fun of it. HOWEVER, if watching hours and hours of plastic surgery youtube has thought me anything, it's DON'T DO IT.
I'm sort of content, although I have my moments with my lower face. Gummy smile, brutal muscles, etc.
I've been getting 2-2 units of botox in my chin to smooth the wrinkles, and it's insane how much difference it makes. It's kinda like when you crumple up a plastic bottle and then blow it up. From the side, my chin is almost completely flat originally, because of how strong the muscles are, it looks a bit jarring in contrast with my strong bone structure. But when the botox starts kicking in, the muscles let go, and I suddenly have a chin wohoo! No fillers needed, because it essentially functions as filler for me.
Also been getting a few units in my elevens, because my god, do I frown all day every day. The tension headaches are so intense, it's an absolute godsend being pain free for 2-3 months.
For my gummy smile I've gotten a few units under my nose a few times. It does SOMETHING, but beware, your smile might look a little off. To me, it makes the corner of my mouth lift ever so slightly (I have a straight/slightly downward smile), it can look a little Jokery. For this reason, I tried something different the other day. Instead of getting it under my nose, I opted for a lip flip. Of curse the muscles will elevate, but I wanted to see which one is the better option. Should be kicking in any minute now, fingers crossed I won't end up looking like a clown haha
I've been super insecure as a teen and twen about my body, mostly my face. My nose is on the larger side, some days I wouldn't go to school coz I hated myself too much that day. There was a time when I even didn't wanna live "like that" anymore.
I can't even imagine what teens are going through these days with social media around, but I'm aware of how bad someone can feel about themselves, even though from an objective point of view they look average.
I'm a mom now and this totally changed my mind on my body. What my body was able to do and survive and get through, is just amazing to me. My body doesn't deserve anything but love for that.
As a mom, one of the most important things I wanna teach my kids is self love. That's why I'm not getting anything done, I'm perfect the way I am. There's no need to please anyone but myself and I'm great.
I’ve been listening to this background noice and I actually listened to the content. Wow. I’m impressed. This actually lowered my IQ but at least 50 points. 🎉
That is a good question!
Time I take & give to myself to meditation. That is What care & doning make up is, yes I take Timeout!
Cassandra you are so naturally gorgeous! 😀
Chemical Peels and microneedling are my favorite treatments.
*TW: ED mention.* Just FYI for anyone struggling with their insecurities. I'm a UK size 8. I've always been slim since childhood. (People used to call me bulimic or anorexic) But when my body started growing I've had cellulite and stretch marks ever since. So don't let anyone tell you it's because of your weight. I used bio-oil on my stretch marks because they were quite wide and deep, which I think did help shrinking them. But they're still there ( I don't mind them personally )
I have some maintenance botox & my eyebrows micro needled but I know my limits & I trust my aesthetician implicitly. I suffer with hypothyroidis so I have medication to stop that& it helps my skin from breaking out. Thankyou for being honest ❤️
You mentioned potentially getting botox for headaches, and I can't recommend that enough. Botox is a miracle for migraines and tension headaches.
I get migraines so bad!! How long does the botox take to start working? Also, do you get it done from a plastic surgeon or a regular PC? ❤
At 60 I got a Bleph. Now I can wear eyeshadow and people can see it 😊
I want one for exactly that reason.
@@dewilew2137 it was worth it! Not painful at all unless I bumped myself by accident
my mom is 56 and is currently noticing her lids drooping more. she’s waiting until it can be covered by insurance, even though i told her to do it now if it’s something that bothers her
@@pinkfeet518 hi. I had the upper and lower done for around 5,000. I paid for it. Worth every penny. Is it interfering with her vision? She may want to go ahead and have it done and pay out of pocket
@@nancymccormick7567 $5k for both eyes?! that’s a great price. and it’s not interfering with vision yet, but i hope she can do it sooner than later. she loves doing her makeup but as i’m sure you know, it’s very hard to get it to look right with ptosis
Knowledge truly is power :)
I love this video. Your a beautiful inside and out. My insecurities have ended up “trends” now. Bar my acne but that’s different 😂
You are so right on!
I have moderate to severe combined rosacea. V-beam lasers have been amazing. I’m 4 treatments in and about to do a 5th. The treatment isn’t a fun time but the impact is enormous. My skin is a little rosy versus fire engine red. They will be a long term part of my skincare plan.
You're perfect 💯 thanks for sharing hun
I am 34. I went through a phase, probably about a year ago, when I had the idea in my head that I, for some reason, needed lip injections.
I have pretty full lips already.🤦♀️
About 4 years ago, I thought I needed laser too, for the red veins/broken capillaries on my face from child birth. I actually booked a consultation, but never got it done because the lady that did the consultation scared me off by pointing out everything else that was 'wrong' with my face, and the serums and creams she was trying to sell me were full of essential oils (which I am confirmed allergic to). She didn't seem to hear me though. I smiled and nodded, then didn't book a single appointment.
Those broken capillaries are actually gone now, because I have been using tretinoin and azelaic acid for about a year. I know myself pretty well, and to be honest I know having any kind of procedure done wouldn't have made me feel better, I would have spiralled for sure.
Are you sure they were broken cappilaries? Because no topicals would be able to get rid of them, even tretinoin and azelaic acid.
@@morgianasartre6709 yeah they were. My guess is the tretinoin thickened my skin (as it does) and now I can't see them 😊
This is a great video!
Honey I just saw a video where u had curly hair and I was thinking to myself oh wow I didn't know she had curls wow she looks soo beautiful!! 💗
Thank you, learned so much. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you shedding more light on this kind of thing, and how much effort you make to help people make more informed decisions. By the way, heard Dr. Sinclair talk about using tretinoin alone or with minoxidil specifically on the scalp for hair loss, do you think using an over-the-counter adapalene gel would work similarly?
First of all, I have thought you look like a gorgeous John William Waterhouse painting and I so appreciate your transparency and also educating on different aspects of these treatments. As a trans woman I am hoping to get some body contouring and possibly get some face stuff done in the next few years and I am so excited!
Just use a good hydrating mousse and a good hair dryer with a diffuser. Changed my life and protects my hair from heat damage.
I have learned my lesson, you have to love yourself like nobody else. Because you can be gorgeous, take care of your body and your face. Hair, massages, glowing skin. Believe me sooner or later things will change. And at that moment you look at your mirror and you will say “WTF, I love just the way you are!❤😊
Don’t worry it’s not about oh it’s none of anyone’s business. It’s about being truthful to yourself and hopefully to others ❤love
Try microblading! My eyebrows stopped growing back after years of threading and after having them microbladed a lot of the hair grew back!!! And I literally only had half of an eyebrow on both sides for almost a decade. I've been considering having my little traction alopecia spots done now too. ❤️
P.s. you're smart, beautiful, and so inspirational and I love what you do. You don't need anything! ❤️
I have gotten cosmetic surgery and didn't tell anyone it was my choice. I have also made a lot of changes with just diet and exercise. That's what we should be doing for self care.
I wish more than anything that Medicaid covered massage therapy...it's literally the best. I was an LMT for 4.5yrs before my fibromyalgia made it impossible to continue working, but I still love getting massage. Hand massage especially ☺️☺️☺️
Look in to Low Dose Naltrexone.
Massage is great for blood circulation and de stressing
I highly recommend Morpheus8 for uneven skin texture or scars - I’m both a BCBA and massage therapist/facelift massage therapist- and I got a horrible staph infection from work with massive, deep blisters that left my skin fucked up. In some ways the affected areas on my face (it traveled up my wrists and got all the way to my face) were worse than acne scars and deeper in the dermis. After 2 Morpheus8 treatments, my skin looks about 80% better. Add an excellent growth factor serum plus something like the VI Peel or the Perfect Peel- the perfect person is my fav and I do it in home- and you’ll max your results. Highly recommend!!
I love that dress!!
In this day and age its unique not to get anything done and I am proud of myself for that. I noticed that people tend to compliment more the ones who have had work done cause they know they can imitate that via all kinds of procedures but they cant imitate the ones who naturally have it going on. Honestly though what they are really complimenting are the facades which is actually an indirect back handed compliment. I also know it is easier to say when you're naturally attractive. Also wanted to mention your butt is very proportionate to your body its not big or small its normal sized so dont worry about that. The thing is its not solely about having a big butt its about the shape etc too. There are alot of people with big butts but ive seen people with smaller but nicer shaped butts.
