I love my hair.

My independence.

My eyelashes.

My smile.

What I love about me.

We are here for our road show tour, and we're going across the country talking to real women about what they love about themselves.

My physical thing I like about myself is my eyes.

Okay, and why?

Because they're from my grandmother.

So many women spend a lot of time and energy criticizing themselves, talking about the things that they don't like so much, and we decided to turn that on its head and have them reflect on things that they do like that make them distinctive that they're proud of.

I really like my sense of humor.

I love my skin and I love my smile.

I love that I'm strong.

I love my freckles.

The way I'm self inspired and I'm energetic.

My braces.

The women often come in and sit down, and they're a little embarrassed to brag about their physical appearance. And you see a change happened in the course of talking like once they get started on something that they like, then they find the second thing that they like, the third thing that they like. Why don't we start with you Jennifer?

'Cause I was going on what people compliment me on, probably my hair.

Your hair, okay, I'll give you a minute.

I dye it. I dye it, but the texture is pretty straight, and probably my smile.

I think a lot of women don't think about what they love about themselves, and it was interesting to see that today a lot of the women went through the process and it was-- it was really neat to watch.

They move from my tent to the photographer's tent to get their picture taken and they live with more confidence. I just feel like they radiate with inner confidence once they talked about what they like about themselves.

Great. Good.

My vision for the shots that I'm taking are just very simple graphic, colorful natural photos of these women. If they say they like their hair, I try to kind of focusing on that. If they say they like their eyes, I kind of make sure they're looking at the camera. I want each photo to communicate just the essence of the woman, whatever they like about themselves. I really wanna bring that through in the photo. That's good, like a little internal giggle. Okay, good.

I think it's really exciting for women to participate in this because they get to celebrate what they actually like about themselves. We have free manicures, massages and makeovers. We had cessation counseling. We also had facials and you'll get in Pilates demos.

What I'm looking forward to learning about in the tents, you know, just lifestyle, health, beauty, basically the whole emphasis of the magazine.

And then I'm also here to get a little makeover just for myself.

Go tell my boss.

It was really exciting to see that we're really changing lives and that people are really taking-- put everything to heart.

We wanted to get ultimately a good representation of the American female population. We're in New Orleans earlier this week, Savannah now, next Kansas and then out last to Seattle. And then in each city, we're also asking something geographically specific.

The one item I would have to have in my survival kit is moisturizer.

My best beauty trick to beat the heat is anti-frizz hair gel all the time.

The best beauty advice that I've ever gotten was probably from my mom. She said just that less is more.

Living in Seattle, to combat the frizzy hair, I make sure that I really wash it like every other day so it wouldn't get out of control.

It was really exciting to see that in every city, hundreds of women came out. So many of them were so familiar with Marie Claire. They love the What I Love About Me section, and they were so excited to actually have this chance to be a part of it.

We want What I Love About Me to be empowering certainly for the women who were being interviewed, and then for our readers, we hope that it's inspirational, that it shows down that that part of being beautiful is feeling beautiful.

I ran into an old friend the other day and I've been seeing them for maybe 2 years. They said I looked great and they asked me what I did, and I told them I quit smoking. I smell better, I look better. I didn't think I could do it, but I did. I used NicoDerm CQ.

And the woman behind the counter said, "Oh you should try this lip cream. It's great for those lines around the lips." I'm getting lines around the lips and that's gonna be from smoking. I quit. I think my skin looks a lot better. It feels a lot better.
