The V Word.
I’m talking about vanity. According to most definitions of the word vanity, it is generally accepted to mean having a high opinion or pride in one’s appearance or worth. It’s often cavalierly bantered about as being a virtueless quality and something which one oughtn’t strive to have or be, which is largely issued with an insulting intention. Beauty Marked! would just like to go on the record and weigh-in as having said that there is an urgent need to reclaim and reframe this intensely loaded and often injurious word. There is great value, strength and love in acknowledging the vast beauty that is contained in us all, and which is often given wings to rightly soar when one embraces their tremendous worth and infinite beauty which lies both inside and out.
Taking pride in your appearance is a great thing. In doing this, it pays a loving and respectful tribute to the abundance of infinite and inner beauty we all possess. It is more than okay to bring our beauty out to play.
“I can never feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its beauty.”
- John Keats
Birds?
Yep. Birds. This may just be one of Beauty Marked!’s oddest post to date, but it’s all about the joys of having a bit of bird about your space. Seriously, these winged beauties are a lofty reminder to keep our spirits high and focused on the beauty that abounds. Lately, I’ve been listening to a gorgeous asortee of bird songs on my computer while I work. It’s been fantastic. It transforms my work space into a delightful cottage garden or the tranquility of the tropics. Most people don’t actually register that there are birds chirping merrily away, but do remark on what a pleasant atmosphere the workspace has. I have even placed a several tracks of beguiling bird songs on my MP3 player which sweeten the daily commute no end and helps to keep one’s countenance. Softly playing bird songs at home brings a bountiful blissfulness that serves to keep your mood elevated and stress-free. You’ll notice the change in an instant. You are sure to love the chirpy boost you’ll get from these avian angels. Enjoy! Tweet! Tweet!
Nearly Good Enough To Eat…
Here’s a little homemade number that will not only save you a bit of money, but naturally works wonders as a facial scrub for those with sensitive skin that may be suffering from excess oiliness. Mush up about two huge strawberries for about 2 tablespoons worth of purée and mix into a moist paste with a slightly shy level tablespoon of rolled oats (uncooked oatmeal). Gently press this scrumptious paste onto just cleansed damp skin. Leave for about 15 minutes or until the mix is just starting to crumble. Then lightly roll as much of the strawberry and oat mixture off of your face and follow up with tepid water to rinse off. Pat dry and moisturize as per usual. Enjoy your deliciously smooth and excess oil-free skin! Mmmm.

Teaching Granny How To Suck Eggs?
Hopefully not, but just incase you didn’t know, here’s a great way to soothe sunburn. You know, that little bit of sneaky sun that just got away from you…yep that one. As soon as you suspect that you’ve overdone it, squeeze a vitamin E capsule or more directly onto the affected area. Aloe vera gel is also grouse for relieving the discomfort of sunburn and to assist in the healing process as well for other types of burns after standard first aid is tended to. Aloe and vitamin E do work a treat, but this will just end up being one of those useless tips that you’ll never need because you’ll won’t be getting caught out now will you? *wink*
