Description
When we launched our Face of healthy competition in association with Beauty Kitchen, we didn’t know what to expect.
Would anyone actually enter? (Would one of the healthy team have to pretend to be the winner – spoiler alert: magazines do sometimes ‘help’ these things along a bit so as to be sure they’ll have someone who looks ‘right’ on their cover.) Anyway – we didn’t.
We write a lot about authenticity (in fact, we’ve a feature about it on page 48) and it would have seemed unforgivable to have been anything other than honest with you. So we took a deep breath and went for it, with fingers crossed and no back-up plan.
Turns out we needn’t have worried. If there was one thing Jo Chidley, from Beauty Kitchen, and I were 100 per cent sure about, it was that we wanted ‘real life’ beauties; not just the usual model types. Neither of us accepts you can’t be beautiful if you’re over 40, or a size 14, or short. And you proved us right. Reading through your hundreds of entries, two truths jumped out at us.
1 You’re all beautiful. The problem wasn’t going to be who was good enough to win, but how we could possibly narrow it down.
2 You totally get what we’re doing here and why, with our feel-good inclusivity, kind, holistic approach and breadth of expertise, we are (in our opinion) that little bit different from other titles. So what could have been the most superficial of things – a modelling competition – ended up being a heartfelt celebration of what it really means to be healthy, mind, body and soul. Hope you agree.
