beauty

I may have slightly altered the lyrics, however since I am part of the beauty community I feel obliged to send a positive message across to all the beautiful people out there. 

Yesterday, I watched the latest Glee episode and it got me thinking about all those pressures society has placed on being beautiful. It is the modern requirement to look after ones self and that is by no means wrong but at times also healthy.

Saying this however, it is sad to see some people taking it to extremes and young people wanting to alter their physical appearance with surgical means. It's one thing to use makeup to enhance beauty and confidence but it's disturbing to see humans picking faults in their wonderful physical attributes by not embracing it and changing it to something else. It's like cloning or genetically modifying oneself. There is only one thing to say about this and the word is SAD. :(

Include positive thoughts and words in your everyday life. Add it to your interior, it will uplift your spirit and you will learn to love yourself the way you are. Paint a painting or stick post it notes on your desk and on your wall. 
Remind yourself as we all do forget!

So, I guess the purpose of this post is to say embrace yourself, you are truly unique and beautiful. After all, even if you are beautiful on the outside you have to beautify your insides too, so you are able to truly glow from within.

"The thing you hate most about yourself, is the thing that makes you interesting."
