Thank You.
When I sat at my desk in preparation to write the Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! blog for today, I was humbled by a singular thought. This thought, oddly enough, is not a thought that I have every now and again, but in fact, one that I have every single day of my beauty-FULL working life. That thought, that very lovely thought was how grateful I am to be able to do what I really love to do and that a large part of the thanks is due to our infinitely beautiful Beauty Marked! readership. So thank you gorgeous ones, for inspiring and supporting me to do a job that I truly love. *SQUISH*
She’s Speaking Our Language.
People often say that, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and I say the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have dared to look, including ourselves.
-Selma Hayek
We hear ya, Selma!
The Truth Of The Matter.
Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love. -An anonymous sage.
Beauty Tips From A True Professional.
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 his or her fingers through it once a day. - Audrey Hepburn
They’re Playing Our Beautiful Song.
“You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart. Then people are going to treat you better, you’re gonna find, yes you will, that you’re beautiful as you feel.” -Carole King, “Beautiful”.
Saturday Is Splurge Day!
You’ve earned it! Today is a great day to treat yourself for all your hard work and brilliant efforts. Take time to reward yourself in a meaningful way as this will balance the beautiful energies that you have been so generously giving out. I’m thinking something along the lines of a luxe beauty treatment, mani and pedi, massage, or even that devilishly delectable treat you’ve been after. Anything that will make your heart sing and spirits soar. Today’s the day to give yourself the loving attention you 100% deserve. Enjoy!
Musing Alert:
I am not sure why, but I had a thought about what it would be like if we just went on about our business of being our own beautiful person both inside and out? What would it be like if we didn’t worry about whether or not others thought we were vain, conceited, OTT (over the top) or at the very worst self-absorbed? Then it dawned on me. All those tags or labels like being OTT, self-absorbed, and vain are so far from being steeped in beauty and love that it ain’t funny. I suspect that they are just unfortunate indicators as to how another individual may be feeling about themselves and are simply insecure thoughts projected onto others. I reckon if we just didn’t take any of that “business” on board and got on with being our own wonderful, brilliant, and gorgeous selves, what a loving, light-filled, nurturing existence, not to mention beautiful, we’d ALL have.
