And It Still Stands.
Thoughts both instantly and fondly flow back to my darling grandmother who used to always say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” when it came to any tried and tested remedy or way of thinking. This sagely advice seems to nicely apply to the Beauty Marked! premise on how we perceive our lovely selves as posted in the Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! blog in September 07. Please do enjoy this encore posting, as it’s just another handy BM! offering on how to get even more gorgeous, Gorgeous!
Discourse About The Divine.
“Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful; every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and bystander to shine.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Water Therapy.
Just a gentle reminder to say don’t forget about the power of a shower (I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it). Silly rhymes aside, when all else fails… go the warm shower. I only post this as some days it’s a lot harder to kick it into to gear than other days and not much else seems helpful. This I can absolutely appreciate and relate to. For days and times like these: Go The Shower. You can even drip a few drops of soothing essential oils like Neroli, Petitgrain, Ylang Ylang, Rose, and Lavender or any others that you fancy along the far side of the shower, out of the direct spray of the water, and allow the heat of the shower to give these therapeutic oils wings. Before long, you are sure to feel better than human again. Ooh, and don’t forget these times (as with all times really) especially call for the obligatory luxe shower gel and post shower fragranced moisturizer to nourish also. Mmmm. Water therapy… there’s nothing like it!

Eggscellent!
-No, I’m not from New Zealand. But I did want to let you know that a couple of eggs used on your tresses can dramatically and most excellently boost the condition of your hair. What’s better is that all you need to do is use the yolks as a hair mask after shampoo and conditioner to add mega condition to dry hair. Egg whites used as a hair mask is a primo degreaser and smoothes oily hair fabulously. The hardest or rather fiddliest bit about using raw eggs is the separating of the yolk from the white to suit your particular hair concern. Leave the egg masks to sit on your hair for an hour or so, longer if you can, and rinse clean before styling. No need to point out that you’d be rinsing the egg mask out with tepid water right? But then again, I can’t say I’ve ever tried omelet as a styling product. Who knows? There might just be something to it.
