From a general human being perspective it is a gift to be able to see the beauty in everything - and there is beauty in everything. Even in pain and destruction comes growth and rebirth. Beauty associated with people is tricky because in today's world we have other people dictating a very narrow idea of what beauty is. We're all unique and that in itself is beautiful and since the dawn of time beauty has been defined by the people who love them; beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. But in the public forum beauty was defined by artists and this began to create a standard for what beauty looked like. It's changed over the years but many similarities exist. There are some very obvious examples of beauty that we all seem to agree upon, from Cleopatra to Gigele we know an objectively beautiful being when we see one, but there are many other beauties in the world who shine brightly. They have a certain something, a "je ne sais quoi". That "something" is inner beauty. Inner beauty has gotten a bad rap because it's become a nice way to describe someone who is not so good looking. But the reality is it's a very true and tangible quality. I spent nine years in the field of beauty during my Tony&Tina Vibrational Remedies years and I have first-hand experience of how inner beauty creates aesthetic beauty. A part of the beauty biz is to have lots of events and Tony and I traveled around the world... event after event. The people who felt good about themselves looked good and the people who felt bad looked it. I've seen stereotypical "beauties" look terrible and stereotypical "plain Janes" look stunning and it had nothing to do with the make-up. Although I do need to give a shout out to any Tony&Tina Vibrational Remedies fans... we were the best! If you were a part of our journey I send you mad love and gratitude.
Looking beautiful is all about how you carry yourself and what kind of energy you are generating. It goes without saying that you have to take care of yourself, physically, emotionally, spiritually. It's really not that hard. (see lifestyle / you are what you eat) It can be as simple as making sure you wash your face and moisturize every morning and night. You can't get lazy at night because then the day's dirt and grime just sits there and your complexion will suffer. Even if you don't get pimples, a dull complexion just isn't attractive. (see radiant beauty visualization) It's also about your energy. If you are energetically clear and balanced and live in love and joy you will look it and that's beautiful. If your energy is scrambled and you're a negative person it will show and that's ugly, so don't just try to look beautiful.. be beautiful.
Make-up
Less is more, blend, blend, blend and don't let your mascara look clumpy. Don't buy anything with mineral oil in it because it clogs the pores. Most of the stuff out there is crap but there are some good brands that do care about the active levels of therapeutic ingredients. Seek them out. Basically, the fewer chemicals the better.
Skincare
Most companies do what's called "window dressing" meaning that they put in a drop of this or that and highlight it on the packaging. It means nothing, or close to nothing, unless it states the ingredient is at an active level. Plus, be wary of big companies spending lots of money to create a study that "proves" the difference its product will make. Use common sense and read your ingredient lists. And again, don't buy anything that has mineral oil in it because it clogs the pores and the fewer chemicals the better.
Positive thinking
If you always look on the bright side of things, you create a happier you. What you think about creates your reality, so by loving yourself and giving yourself positive affirmations you actually become your ideal self. High self-esteem is evident in the way you hold your head up and the way you walk and speak. Think beautiful and become beautiful. Also see healthy thinking (in healthy mind section) and sending yourself positive energy (a visualization).
Sleeping
Getting enough sleep is crucial... it's true, we all need out beauty sleep! Your body and mind need to rest and recuperate at the end of the day, and not getting enough sleep makes you irritable and look bad, and it actually ages you! Getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep is a great anti-aging treatment.
