We\u2019ve just touched the surface of self-love and we\u2019re all going deeper in finding out how much it\u2019s going to make you not only appear more beautiful, but make you feel more beautiful. When you love yourself, you\u2019re able to give love to other people, and that\u2019s the true beauty of life. I just feel like when you really feel loved, you\u2019re a much more beautiful person, even if you don\u2019t look like the industry standards of beauty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Showing your vulnerability has played an important part in the success of Huda Beauty. How did you find the courage to be so authentic?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because we started out as a blog, it was about keeping it real, showing our imperfections and our challenges, sharing them with our followers, having them talk about theirs and building a community. It always just remained very authentic to our problems and our followers\u2019 problems, so, for us, that\u2019s how Huda Beauty was born. We\u2019ve kept that DNA very strong and we never even thought to not do it that way. It started being a community source, and evolved that way. I think now the whole world is catching up, and social media has played a huge part in that for everyone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2565\" style=\"width: 493px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2565 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/Mona-perfume.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"740\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mona Kattan at the terrace cinema Caesars Palace Dubai Bluewaters Island Jebel Ali Dubai United Arab Emirates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>What drives you to continue to take risks in this way?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To be bold, to be authentic, to be real is what really satisfies our soul. I feel like that drives us. If we had to fake it, it just wouldn\u2019t feel right anymore. And I think we always trusted our gut, and it\u2019s really to create a huge impact in the industry, and help everybody change the way they speak to consumers and the way they speak to people, because we all need to celebrate every part of ourselves, whether it\u2019s perceived as beautiful or not, and it needs to change. The desire to continue making an impact drives the courage.<\/p>\n<p><em>You start your day by meditating and counting your blessings. Tell us more about your self-love rituals?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been meditating for a long time, and I try to pray five times a day. Thinking about all the things you have to be grateful for attracts more amazing things into your life and I know for myself, personally, every time I do this, my life is always on track, and every time I stop, somehow everything just goes haywire, so I really do believe in the law of attraction. I also think beauty and perfume are a big part of self-love. For me, putting on my fragrance during the day feels like self-love, and I even wear it to bed. That\u2019s a self-love ritual for me because it makes me feel good when I go to sleep. It makes me feel as if I\u2019ve invested in myself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2567\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2567\" style=\"width: 493px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2567 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/kayali.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"740\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kayali D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu White Flower 57<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Will we be seeing more of your spiritual side?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so important, and it\u2019s also very important that I encourage other people to do that, too, because I think that\u2019s how we spread world peace. If you make other people love themselves more and work on themselves more and just find more peace, it\u2019s just a domino effect and it\u2019s so contagious, so it\u2019s definitely something that I\u2019m going to work really hard on for 2020. I\u2019m starting my YouTube channel; I\u2019ll be covering beauty, but a huge part will also be mental health and personal development, so that\u2019s something I\u2019m really excited about. But I am exploring something special for Kayali as well, which is really innovative and interesting. So for 2021, it\u2019ll be really fun.<\/p>\n<p><em>The new Kayali D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu White Flower transports you back to your most treasured memories and makes you dream of the future. What are your most treasured memories and dreams for the future?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My most treasured memories are super-simple. It\u2019s my family having yummy food, eating and just spending time together having a barbecue and sitting in the sunshine, with good music on. Jasmine just really reminds me of my youth. My parents both love jasmine, it was always around, whether it was just like a bottle of fragrance that my mum had, or even jasmine flowers. So that, to me, is just very cocooning and safe \u2013 just gives me really good memories of happiness, so that\u2019s why we used a lot of jasmine in D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu. It just makes me feel happy, and for the future I just want to make a bigger impact and continue using my voice and using whatever power I have in this world to help other people to love themselves more and develop themselves more and just spread more love.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7Gvu7LJCOF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The beauty industry is very polluting and it\u2019s something that we need to change. So, for me, working with Firmenich was a huge, huge part of developing Kayali. Firmenich works with all the different fields it sources raw ingredients from on sustainability programmes, so they\u2019re being replanted and offers a sustainable value for the commodity. Firmenich also develops the local economies, helps build schools and hospitals, and is just very conscious as a company. They\u2019re also one of the only family-owned fragrance houses, so I just think that they really are putting a lot more thought into everything that they do. It\u2019s very similar to our ethos at Huda Beauty, so their partnership has been incredible and I\u2019m very grateful that they have a similar mindset.<\/p>\n<p><em>You have a multibillion-dollar beauty business, the first Facebook TV show, and a fragrance empire. Where do you think the Huda Beauty adventure will take you next?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Huda Beauty, we\u2019re launching skincare this year, which is super exciting and it\u2019s going be on the seventh anniversary of the launch of Huda Beauty, so we\u2019re super pumped. That\u2019s been Huda\u2019s passion project for years, she\u2019s obsessed with skincare, so that\u2019s something very important for the company. For myself, personally, my next big chapter will just be working on more meaningful content like sharing my experience with self-development and mental health. I\u2019m person who has, like, a helper\u2019s high \u2013 when I help people it just gives me a rush, so I just want to do more of that.<\/p>\n<p>Watch our conversation with Mona below (and make sure to subscribe to our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCQ0neop0zlnSnoYwcaBZQCA?view_as=subscriber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0for more exclusives):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mona Kattan\u2019s Self-Love Manifesto\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/48_WQddnjpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"product-style\"><em>Kayali D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu White Flower 57 is Dhs357 for 50ml at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shophudabeauty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shophudabeauty.com<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Fritz John Asuro and supplied<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":2561,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[140],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mona Kattan\u2019s Self-Love Manifesto - Grazia Middle East<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/mona-kattans-self-love-manifesto\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mona Kattan\u2019s Self-Love Manifesto\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A cloud of scent\u00a0envelops us over breakfast with Mona Kattan, on a roof terrace overlooking the Arabian Gulf.
