What is beauty? To see clearly one must encounter spiritual truth, that they should allow themselves to recognise that we all have aspects and parts of our physical bodies that we aren't so proud of, however instead of being overwhelmed and warped by images of ladies in fashion magazines and advertisements, we should carefully examine our bodies and learn to appreciate, adapt and adore our flaws more than comparatively towards marketed visuals. For example we may have an extremely distorted self esteem, due to ill-health, and the societal pressures to conform to certain aesthetic standards, even in desperate moments we may consider options such as surgery and expensive procedures to erase so-called 'blemishes' or 'imperfections' that in reality aren't what these labels entice at all. They are in fact, naturally occurring phenomena of what it means to be a human being. With that, I believe the most important element of living in the modern world is how we feel o...

Pardon my tan-tastically orange hands/ porcelain face combo. I do feel like a nob.  Hello Girls. I know the title sounds as alluring as that, however, I am not planning on writing an entire article about the pains of being a woman in society, I have dealt with the pangs of man-hate quite enough already and internalised those vicious ideas since I am all about gender equality.  I thought I would revert to the softer tone of this blog, that being about beauty products and fashion.  In hindsight, I feel that personally I have been objectified by men whether I have always been conscious of it or not, the female physique is a fascination motivating their diligence, nevertheless. Likewise, I am aware of the many women, struggling with this unfair development. With very little provocation, I have been subjected to the perversion of strange, unsolicited men in public, near my home and around the workplace. This has had an impact on my self-este...

Here I debug the illusions and miscalculations of what it means to be beautiful. 1. Myth: That being pale skinned is not attractive. Truth: If you travel to foreign third world climates, the local farmers will literally beg you to cover your skin since fair skinned people are considered rich as they don't have to work in labouring conditions. On the other hand, in cooler places such as England, a healthy glow suggests that you go on holiday a lot and therefore can afford more trips abroad. Hey-Ho. A lot of red-carpet celebrities are often very white and against treatments such as sun-beds. 2. Myth: That more make-up products applied = better features. Truth: Less is more! I've said this before, but make-up is supposed to accentuate what you already have. Yes we have all seen strangers morph into Kim Kardashian with the art of face contouring, on the other hand, most men would agree that they prefer to see the same face when they wake up to you in the morning, as from the...
