"Just as much as I need a little boost in my day, I would assume one out of the 133 million followers I have might want to see the same thing as I want to see," she said.
Kardashian added that being in her mid-30s has made her more confident than ever about her appearance.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I think you become more confident in saying 'no,’" she told the outlet. "There are so many things I did because someone encouraged me to, or wear or, 'Try this thing.' You just do it because it's either 'a trend' or somebody is encouraging you to do so."
"Now if I don't like something, I'm very OK with saying no," she said. "Respectfully, no; it's just not my thing or I'm not comfortable doing that. It's confidence in what your own identity is or how you want to see yourself."
