Defining True Beauty

The dictionary defines beauty as a very attractive or seductive looking woman. When you ask society to define beauty, we get images of people who are skinny, pale and have long hair. Beauty sometimes is just a seed that hasn’t grown into a blossoming flower yet, but everyone is beautiful. You just have to realize it, it is not define by your size, skin tone or your features.

Your Body is a Temple

Its Sunday, 10:30 am. You’ve showered, dressed, had your morning reflection time…and a questionable breakfast. The elegant burnt orange summer dress, turquoise liner and jewelry you adorn breathes perfection. Congratulations. You are officially ready for Sunday worship. But when you arrive, the sanctuary looks as though a small tornado just passed through. There are programs everywhere, trash, and worst yet, evidence of eating! Who? What? Why?

Hair Removal Part 1: Facial Hair

When it comes to taking care of your eyebrows, which method do you prefer? Would you pluck, wax and thread? I personally was not a fan of plucking, pulling one strand of hair at a time. It is extremely annoying as well as tedious knowing that there are so many hairs to pull. However, the advantage is that you have great control, and can accurately choose the hairs you’re removing.
Now waxing is painful but quick, the next thing you know you are done and out of the salon. When you’re …

The Most Important Beauty Tip: Confidence

A confident woman is a strong, beautiful person that is sure of themselves and very positive in nature. When they enter a room their presence is felt, because they are glowing with confidence, and that happiness projects throughout the entire room. They are women who are always smiling and can uplift others when they are down. I like to put confidence into a simple equation. Confidence = happiness, and happiness = smiles, smiles = pleasent encounters, and pleasent encounters = success. To put it simply when you encounter someone who …

Aah, cold refreshing water!  Many say that the human body cannot survive a week without intaking water. And I agree with this statement, if that includes food too. Without food, which contains water and drinking water we will surely perish. Our brains are 90% water, our muscles 80% water, we know that water is important to our health because our bodies contains about 70% of water and has to be replenished somehow. Water plays a key role in our bodies as it helps regulate our system. The water travels to …
