colonial mentality that promotes that whiter is prettier and darker is less has got to end. Let’s not forget that companies that sell whitening products profit the most from this type of limited thinking. love the skin you’re in ladies. there is enough fabulous-ness to go around no matter what shade you are. YOU are beautiful.

This is vey interesting.. I am half spanish…mestiza; complete with freckles! However; I love the beach and the sun…Many spend so much on whitening creams while I try my best to be tan and bronzy… I love looking like a latina….I guess it is really hard to be contented at times…but do not get me wrong; I am thankful for the way God made me…

Thanks Mylene.

Good thing you’re conscious about your health, a lot of people still take it for granted. What’s important, regardless what your skin tone is, is that you’re happy with yourself and love the body that the Great Lord gave us.

Have a great day!

“I’m beautiful, tanned and loving it.” I wish I could say that!
Sadly, my not believing in those anti-obesity pills has caused me to have to take anti-cholesterol ‘simvastatin’ . It’s side-effect makes my skin ‘white’. Arrgghhh!
Just goes to show just because you are white does not mean one is taking whitening treatments, neither am I Chinese! I am Filipina, too, but I’m not sorry I’m not classic brown (“,)

Nice piece Aiza!
