On Beauty, Confidence and Self-Esteem

Beauty isn't about perfection. Nobody is perfect. Embrace your flaws; they are likeable and beautiful.

Imperfections are beautiful

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” 
Confucius


Marilyn Monroe was never a size 0 - she was a size 16

“A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty 
but an obsession about female obedience.” 
Naomi Wolf


Stop obeying the media. 
All they want is for you to feel crap about yourself, so they can have more power over you.



How to look younger?

And wear whatever the heckedy feck you want.

Affirmation: I am grateful for the privilege to grow old. 
I know that many people aren't so lucky.


How to get luscious lips?

kiss me

You don't need botox. No need to paint them with chemicals.

Just dab with a little olive oil (natural lip gloss!) 
to make them shine. 

And kiss more often.



What makes you more beautiful?

Tarot of Quotes

LOVE!

Especially the love, kindness and care you give to yourself.

Lovingly accepting and embracing your flaws, your past, your dreams, and radiating that love on to others.

Do something every day that is loving 
and nurturing towards your body.


“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
 For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
 For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone." 
Sam Levenson

In the olden days, there was no Photoshop to create an illusion of beauty.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. 
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. 
Beautiful people do not just happen.” 
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
