Today is finally the day that start this blog! I have wanted to start a blog on the topic of beauty for sometime now. I have another blog where I discuss travel. Girltakestrip.blogspot.com, but I find that although I love to travel I have not made myself post often, even though I have taken many trips. Hopefully I will get back to that soon.
But as for now I want to focus on the subject of beauty, because I find that it is something that probably like you, is on my mind daily. From the moment we wake and look into the mirror we may start to think is the way i look acceptable? Is my skin clear enough, teeth white enough, hair shiny or long enough? Don't even get me started on what should I wear. There are days when I have a function to go to and I don't even want to go because I don't feel like I have something nice enough or new enough to wear.
For most of my life I was not concerned with this topic. It's not that I didn't want to be considered beautiful, it was just that it was not something my mother ever emphasized. So I was the typical tom boy falling down and hurting myself, scraping up my legs and not concerned a bit about how I looked or how I would still have those scars on my legs to this day. Sometimes I wonder why didn't my mother tell me to be careful so that I didn't scar myself up, or why didn't she tell me to put aloe vera or coco butter on the stretch marks I got from growing so fast. But thats all in the past. I am happy that mother did raise me to be a kind spiritual person with standards and values, those things are truly important. I do however now feel that it is nice to be or feel pretty, so I am learning now to take care of my skin and to nourish my body from within. I give myself pedicures and manicures and whatever else I feel contributes to my beauty.
Then there is the question of being a beautiful person on the inside and having enough love for yourself and self-esteem that these other outside things don't matter, or that you can manifest beauty in your world by the way you feel inside and what you focus on mentally. There are really so many things to be discussed or addressed on this subject and I want to try to use this blog as an avenue to do so. I know I am not the first to write about these things, people have been doing it for years, but I won't be the last either. I just want to share my perspective on some of these issues and maybe I can help others with some of my experiences. Also please feel free to give advice or comments on any of the topics posted.
Thank you for reading,
