Beauty Tips

Beauty is certainly a hot topic these days. It is all over the media. Commercials and other forms of advertisement encourage the use of all types of beauty products. These advertisements promise to make you look years younger, get rid of acne over night, and help you lose 15lbs in one week, while eating whatever you want!Toothpastes ensure whiter smiles which will increase appeal. Body wash commercials suggest by using their products, you will become irresistible and gain that much wanted attention from the member of the opposite sex.

Outfitting is in a league of its own. The purse has a matching belt which also matches the shoes. If you change shoes, then you also have to change the belt and purse, unless the belt was a solid color, and if that's the case, then you only have to change purses, but if the color of the new shoes, clash with the color of the belt then you have to completely change the whole outfit. Then of course the final touches include at least one large necklace, along with its matching bracelet and earrings. Guys are not an exception to this rule. I guarantee there are thousands of guys out there who own more accessories than I do.In today’s society it is all about the right look.

That’s ok. I myself spend plenty of time in the morning, getting ready (Although I will admit, I don’t have the belt, shoes, and purse issue). There is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, but at the end of the day, when all the makeup has been removed, all the accessories have found their way back into the closet and drawers, and it’s just you looking in the mirror, how do you feel about yourself?If you look at yourself, and desire more, here is a thought to ponder… If you want to be beautiful, do something beautiful.

I firmly believe one of our purposes here is to create beauty. There are many ways to bring beauty to the world. Plant a tree, or a lovely rose bush. Clean a park or a highway. Help someone. Yeah, that’s right, help someone. Helping someone is an amazing way to bring beauty to this world, and in today’s setting, there are many ways to provide assistance to someone. You can volunteer at a soup kitchen, or homeless shelter. Listen to someone who needs to talk or just loves to share their stories (You’ll be amazed at what you learn about someone). Cut someone’s grass, or babysit, and expect nothing. Donate to a research foundation, or find a cause to support (it has to be something which has your passion).

Try simple ways to make someone’s day. This is one of my favorite ways, and it is so easy to do. Smile at someone who is serving you, and wish them a great day (with feeling) Use words like please and thank you. If someone knocks over something, clean it up with them. Please tell someone if there is something in their teeth, or on their face (it may be embarrassing, but very much appreciated). Complement someone, and remind your friends how important they are to you. Send friendly notes (the old-fashion kind which require stamps) just to let someone know you are thinking about them.Come on, I know you are all intelligent. Don’t be afraid to find your own creative ways to bring beauty into this world. Of course, while you are thinking, don’t forget to enjoy the beauty which already exists. There are so many wonderful and beautiful things out there, just waiting to be enjoyed.So tonight if you look in the mirror and find yourself wondering if you could bring more to life, just remember...IF YOU WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL, DO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL!!
