Today marks Selena Gomez‘s 31st birthday, and as she celebrates another year around the sun, she's Selena Gomez Turns 31: Celebrating a Year of Empowerment and Impact acknowledged for her roles as a beauty founder, a renowned hair icon, and an exceptional human being.
On Saturday, the star of “Only Murders in the Building” shared a photo of herself blowing out the candles on a cake shaped like the letter ‘S', dressed in a lovely petal-pink top that matched her eyeshadow and lipstick. She accessorized with an elegant double-strand pearl necklace and oversized hoop earrings. However, what truly caught the eye in the picture was Selena's head full of lustrous curls. After sporting blonde locks multiple times this year, Gomez decided to return to her signature chocolate brown color, styling her long tresses into flawless waves, cascading down her back for the perfect party-ready look.
In her heartfelt post, the founder of Rare Beauty expressed her gratitude for various aspects of her life, emphasizing her work through the Rare Impact Fund. This charity aims to provide access to mental health services and strives to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Selena said, “One of the things I'm most grateful for is the work we've been able to accomplish with the Rare Impact Fund through @Rarebeauty. Because of YOU, we've been able to raise awareness and expand young people's access to mental health resources. My true interest in life is this.
Addressing the question of what she desires for her birthday, Gomez humbly requested that instead of giving her gifts, people consider donating to the Rare Impact Fund to support their meaningful cause. She provided a link to a donation page, concluding with a heartfelt declaration of love to her followers: “I LOVE YOU ALL.”
Selena Gomez has long been a strong advocate for mental health awareness and has candidly shared her own journey with bipolar disorder. In April 2020, she courageously revealed her diagnosis during an Instagram Live conversation with Miley Cyrus, emphasizing how understanding and embracing her condition had empowered her rather than instilling fear.
Selena's dedication to making a positive impact on mental health continues to inspire and uplift her fans, making her not only a celebrated celebrity but also a role model for prioritizing mental well-being.
