Subtitle: Women are obsessed with their beauty. (Generally, this is because men are obsessed with women’s beauty. That's a whole other blog). And because women (not entirely incorrectly) associate beauty with being desired. And they confuse being desired with being loved…And alas ultimately, all women want –is to be loved.
…So let me tell you how to achieve our vain wishes!!...
Make yourself uber more beautiful!! Instantly!...
1= Believe!! How do you suppose to convince others you are H.O.T if you don’t believe it yourself? Furthermore; that understated, unshakable self-confidence (not arrogance) that this involves is within itself supremely attractive.
2= (…Relates to point ‘1’) But yes! You have good bits. Fully acknowledge them. Refuse the human default of doing otherwise – depressing yourself by focussing on ‘flaws’ (many of these are only in your head anyway)
3= (…Also tied to point numero uno. And dos)
Gwen Stefani has relatively no bosom, Sarah Jessica Parker’s face resembles an equine creature and Lucy Lui has a lazy eye, etc etc. But these women are examples of many who are universally recognised as being sublimely attractive. The point being, as much as I am no advocate of our generation’s sad celebrity obsession, if I can draw any positive from it, it is that of celebrating the confidence, elegance and general ‘swagger’ of people who know all this supersedes so called ‘imperfections’(i.e., they’ve already mastered points one and two)
4= Kind of paradoxical to point 3, but I stand by it: Stop looking at famous people on TV, in magazines etc and comparing yourself to them. Just Stop! Withdraw yourself from being a victim of the advertising and entertainment industries’ quest to make you unhappy with what you have -and thus desire what they offer. This is my favourite tip for being (aka acknowledging you yourself are already) beautiful.
5= Smile much, employ humour, live selflessly, eschew envy, negative thoughts, anxiety, self-loathing and malice. Trust me, this kind of character is truly attractive. (Plus- stress and negative emotions actually do affect your health and appearance)
6= Dress nicely. Don’t worry; I won’t disappoint you by making this post completely un-superficial (I know you were prob hoping for some revelatory, secret physical beauty tips). But I love clothes… not only are they a means of individual self-expression - dare I say like good art- a nicely put together outfit or beautiful dress for example can bring any man or woman up a couple notches. We all know it is of no value when it comes down to the real things of life and people; nevertheless, it does show someone cares about themselves if they take effort to not look like a hobo all the time.
7= Looking your best =is equal to= Looking healthy.
What is more appealing than beautiful, flawlessly smooth, healthily glowing skin on anyone? Or hair that looks so cotton soft, it’s difficult to resist reaching your fingers up to touch it?
Nothing! I’d say it’s the most attractive accessory one can have.
And the answers to good health and beauty are all provided in nature. For example, lavender essential oil is just one solution for blemished skin, soft hair, hair growth, cell repair and muchissimos beauty fixes besides. Get books on Natural Beauty from a library, bookshops or online (there are many good ones around, e.g by Liz Earle or Josephine Fairley ) and discover the myriad of minor miracles nature provides for holistic beauty.
Also, start regular facial massaging. You’ll be surprised at how such a simple and free process can leave your visage so much more toned and dewy. Check Youtube for good routines.
But again, you can find more great techniques in books. So do be acquainted with your local library and information resources as they help feed a beautiful mind, which is after all where the most important beauty comes from :D
'Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain' -Proverbs 31:30
