Spare A Spritz…
Spare a spritz of a gorgeously scented perfume for the darling young girl that adoringly watches as we get ready for the day. Just a petite spritz or dab on the wrist, neck, or behind the ears of our cherished little beauty allows her the opportunity to share in a glimpse of her rightful journey into the world of her own infinite beauty and to feel and smell the specialness that a luxe, heady fragrance brings. She then is gently and lovingly introduced to a part of what we prize about this beautiFULL world we gracefully exist in. Just one small loving spritz can have such a wonderfully big impact. So precious!
Culture’s Rarest Pearls.
We’ve got to hand it to M.A.C.. They really are just too cool for school. They are the cultivators of “New Cool” to be precise. There are no gradations where they’re concerned. The Stylistics Collection by M.A.C. is imminently due to hit our shores in true style. Like they’d arrive in any other fashion.
“The cultivated new cool of 21st century Hepcats. When it comes to style, design, and hip, they’re in the know…they’re the true jazz, culture’s rarest and richest pearls. Act smooth, be soft, but diamond-sharp…super cool. Their paradox is the mystery. There’s glamour in the je ne sais quoi.”

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
It’s No Secret.
It’s no secret that I am just a little fond of beautiful quotations. Okay, a lot fond of them really. Well, the reason why you can always count on there being an abundance of quotations and affirmations about beauty on everything Beauty Marked! related is because beauty is such a HUGE part of what we do and what we are. Beauty quotations and affirmations lovingly remind us of what we know to be true. More simply put, knowing beauty in all its wonderful forms and all that it inspires is extraordinarily empowering. No kidding. Knowing beauty can move mountains. Not only mountains within each glorious individual but beyond. Beauty is what connects us and engenders humanity to be as magnificent as we truly are! So, if Beauty Marked! can merrily do its bit to call to mind and welcome individuals to feel safe, inspired and nurtured enough to move into, embrace, and generously experience their own infinite beauty what an incredible wellspring will come forth.
Beauty Marked! knows you’re beautiful, we just want you to know too. So, go forth and spread beauty and light…because that’s just what you are!

A Gorgeous Gift!
Today, as with most days in fact, I was given the most spectacular gift. A gift which I acknowledge today, but really should do so every day as it is most precious, highly therapeutic, and of which I am so grateful. I suspect you too may have been a gracious recipient of its magic on more than several occasions as well as responsible for such Random Acts of Beauty (RABs) yourself. I am talking about the priceless gift of a heartfelt smile. How wonderful are they? Just amazing, if you really stop to think about it. A smile can make your day in a flash and and can absolutely make someone else’s. Smiles lovingly impart blessings of cheer and ignite a beautifully joyous flame which spreads like wildfire brightening everyone’s day. Yep, smiles are contagious and truth be told, probably one of the very few things out there that you’d actually want to catch. A smile: The gift that truly keeps giving!
