0:05.2 | Hello, I'm Anita Rani and welcome to Woman's Hour from BBC Radio 4. |
0:10.7 | Welcome to the program we have made it to Friday and today I'd like you all to think about |
0:16.4 | yourselves. How do you feel about what you see in the mirror? Your face, your body, your |
0:22.2 | hair? Do you feel beautiful? This morning I'd like you all to share with me what it is |
0:27.4 | you don't like and crucially what you've done or what you do to make yourself feel better |
0:31.7 | about it. I'll be speaking to Beauty journalist Anita Bagwanda's about her new book Ugly |

1:20.3 | comfortable in your own skin, the dream. And was that always the case? Or did it come |
1:24.8 | with age and maturity? Get in touch. Tell me how you feel about the way you look. The |
1:29.7 | text number is 84844. You can contact me via email through the website or you can WhatsApp |
1:35.8 | me or leave a voice note. It's 03700-1004444. Also within the hour we'll be talking booze |
1:43.7 | and our relationship with it. I'm going to be chatting to Rochene Kelly about how |
1:47.6 | sober dating changed the type of men she's attracted to. Imagine that sober dating. |
