Jessica Simpson used to leave notes on her mirror reminding her of how beautiful she was.

The sexy singer, who stars in MTV's 'Newlyweds' with husband Nick Lachey, says she was never comfortable with her looks and had to take drastic measures to improve her self-esteem.

Jessica, 24, believes it worked because she is now happy with her appearance thanks to her blissful relationship with Nick.

She said: "I didn't start feeling comfortable in my own skin until I was 20. That's when you begin to accept your flaws because you can't change them. Before that, I had notes taped on my mirror saying, 'you're beautiful in this skin'. I told myself that every day and eventually I got married and fell madly in love with my husband who loves every inch of me. I realised I didn't have to compete with anybody and people liked me for me. Mess-ups and all."
