Confidence Can Help Your Immune System
We all know that loving yourself is good for the soul, but according to a recent article in Glamour magazine, women who like their bodies regardless of their weight felt sick 30 percent less than women who wished they weighed less. Peter Muenning who conducted this study explains that "feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease."
This finding makes complete and perfect sense to me, but have you noticed a correlation to your health and your self-confidence?
Do Tell: When Do You Feel the Most Beautiful?
I'm sure we all can be pretty fickle when it comes to the way we feel about ourselves. An entire room full of people could tell us we look stunning, but if we don’t feel like it, no matter what they say, we won’t believe them. Likewise, when we’re at home on a lazy weekend in our frumpiest outfit, we may feel radiantly beautiful — it's really just a state of mind.

When I need a quick fix, buying something new always turns my day around.
You Asked: Never Been in a Relationship
Dear Sugar —
I am in my early 20s, attending a good university but there's something that has bugged me for a long time — I have never had a boyfriend or had someone tell me that they like me and I don't understand why. I feel so embarrassed by the fact that all my girlfriends have had relationships or hookups in the past and I've had close to none. I feel like I'm pretty approachable but I don't understand why guys don't pursue me.
Do Tell: What's Your Best Asset?
We live in a society where it's considered arrogant or conceited to acknowledge your good assets. Even though parents try to raise self-confident women, it feels like a double standard when others put you down for being confident about your looks, or your brain. So ladies, since you're in a safe place here, be proud of what you have — do tell, what's your best attribute?
