Victoria Beckham‘s letter to her 18-year-old self is so cute!
The designer addresses several issues, including her time as a Spice Girl, the moment she met husband David Beckham, and her own encounters with bullying as a young girl.

She also gets refreshingly honest, actually admitting she should’ve never gotten a boob job!
The 42-year-old advises her younger self:
“And I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs. All those years I denied it ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.”
Ha! That’s awesome!
On the other end of the spectrum, Posh advises herself to always appear polished in front of her husband:
“On marriage: have patience. Bite your tongue. Be supportive. And preserve a bit of mystique. Never let yourself go completely (at least brush your hair, clean your teeth, have a bit of a brow going on because you will always want him to look at you and feel attracted). Always make time for each other. Because if you don’t, everything will revolve around the children and I’m not sure how sexy that is! And do not forget the person you fell in love with.”
We really can’t imagine her ever not looking perfect. David is super lucky in that respect!
Read on for some more HIGHlights (below):
On meeting David for the first time: “And yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ you are the famous one.) And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.) I’m afraid that most of your first dates will be in car parks, which is not as seedy as it sounds. It is because your manager, Simon Fuller, will warn you, ‘Don’t let anyone see you out together or you’ll get hounded.’ At the time, you won’t understand why.”
On self-image: “When you are pregnant with Brooklyn, they will snap you sitting by the pool at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles in a black-and-white bikini, and the picture will make the front page of a British newspaper. It is an unkind shot and so upsetting that for the rest of the tour you will barely leave your hotel or sit outside. And I’m the same now. Do I relax on the beach in a bikini? No. I am still hugely self-critical, and because of that I can be a little uptight. My 60-year-old self would probably say the same thing to me as I am telling you now: enjoy yourself a little more. Be less image-conscious. Learn to relax. You are going to make mistakes ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ of course you are.”
On fame: “You are going to be very, very famous, both for the band you form and because of the man you marry, and then later for a fashion business you will launch in your own name. You will get used to fame. Although you cannot set a price on losing privacy, you will learn to use celebrity to your advantage. For good things. For charity. One day you will have the privilege to campaign on behalf of the United Nations to end mother-to-child transmission of HIV and Aids in Africa.”
