The Modela Mom

She looks beautiful in shirt and jeans, as well as in a little black dress with heels. She does not feel like she needs to wear make-up to look good, but loves it when she does. She is happy to work and have a career, but is equally pleased to be a stay home mom. She can pay for her own meals, but does not mind if someone else picks up the check. She enjoys color on her hair and nails, but can quickly change a flat tire if she needs to. She is a good friend, and is genuinely thrilled when others do well. She shows compassion and kindness to everyone. She supports those with less confidence and tries her best to set a good example for others. She is willing to stand up for what is right, and speaks her own mind when she has to. She is strong-minded, and she is soft-hearted.

She is you. She is me.

She is a modern woman.

She is Modela Filipina.
