The quest for beauty, age defiance and physical
enhancement are at an all time high. The beauty industry, comprised of
simple salons to mega-corporate giants, pulls in billions of dollars
annually. People are obsessed with making themselves beautiful and more
attractive for their own personal satisfaction and so others can see
them they want to be seen. Not only do people search for ways to enhance
themselves, but they also seek beauty and attraction in other things,
most notably a dating partner.
Some people might conclude that
canvassing the importance of beauty in the dating world is a bit
gratuitous. We all know its out there and it can even be considered
nature's cruelest form of sexual selection. You either have it or you
don't. However, I think it is a poignant topic of consideration whether
you are just now entering the dating realm or you have been in it for
years and whether you are male or female. Today's society places heavy

Since real beauty comes from within, it's important
that your beauty products bring out your best natural qualities.
Natural beauty product reviews can help you choose which products are
best suited to your own individual needs.
One popular type of
natural beauty product is stretch mark removal cream. Since stretch
marks are pretty common--their causes range from pregnancy to body
building--a lot of people can be helped by a natural, effective
treatment for them. While reading natural beauty product reviews, I
noticed that the best stretch mark remedies contain high amounts of Emu
Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Collagen, Elastin and Vitamin E. When these key
ingredients are combined in a highly concentrated cream, they can not
only help reduce stretch marks you already have, but actually help
prevent new ones from forming!
One of the most helpful things
about natural beauty product reviews is that they tell you about the
ingredients in the best bea

Fitness and beauty can be one and the same. Being fit and healthy will automatically make you look better. A healthy inside createsa healthy outside.
Fitness through exercise can help you to maintain a healthybody weight and improve muscle tone.
Our looks reflect the sum total of who we are and how we live, and the best we can do in life is to make the best of what nature has given is, without excuse, apology, or pretense.If we try to live otherwise, we find ourselves acting on a stage with other actors and actresses--great pretenders without real friends, without real lovers, without real relationships.
While we realize that there is such a thing as "natural beauty,"which is beyond all standards of culture and history in some sense, there are also "relative" standards of beauty.
We all know about fads, styles, and adornments that are "in" one season and "out" the next. This includes cosmetics, hair styles,clothing, a

Beauty of Nature Talent of Man, a New Ancient Art Form
Since
Mankind first stood erect and developed a consciousness of the world in
which he lived; Nature has been a place of many dangers. Violence and
death, the need to survive, and the biological urge to reproduce, and to
nurture ourselves and our offspring has always been a prime
motivational factor.
Being alert to our surroundings has profound implications, and is as pertinent today as it was in the distant primitive past.
"He's
street smart", Is one way that we designate and congratulate the modern
man, who has learned to be aware of his basic world and how to survive.
All living things, share this "aware of surroundings, street smart" necessity for survival.
There
are many things which separate us as Humans, from other living things.
Most are obvious, and have been studied, examined, dissected, and
extrapolated ad nauseum.
However, the Human Spirit,

To fall in love -- considered by some as the
ultimate quest in life, and prepared by others with a constant and
unending flow of fantasies, dreams, and enchanting ideas. And what we
find sometimes to be so uniquely freakish of a fetish of our own, so
personally vaulted and denied at every conscious inquiry -- we find, in
fact, that it is a secrecy of our own sexuality and our own fantasies,
that disallows us from discovering that, what we find to be deviant is
actually commonplace in the minds of all individuals. There is no person
whose sexual ideas are unique, no fantasy of anyone that is not based
on the same roots of the fantasies of others. This is sexuality, a
social and emotional facet of every human. So, it must be granted as
truth, that it is the repression of sexuality in our society, that
convinces us that our own sexuality is a freak, a deviancy, an
intolerably disgusting and improper attitude. Despite the fact that
sexuality has been a

There are many vantage points from which to
find beauty. The side of the mountains overlooking Lake Louise on the
grass of the hotel sipping champagne with your most cherished friend is a
memory of beauty that will always overcome my consciousness. The purr
of my friend and companion as he welcomed me home from a hard days work
or the smile on the face of most any person who 'sees' what little part
of life we can partake in to help each other. There are many beauties
and no real evil. This will be dealt with in greater detail under
Abraxas in the concept segment. In the whole of the 'brotherhood' there
are many religions and in each one; I have found the essence of beauty
expressed by wise and metaphysical or soulful people. In Islam my
favorite is Sufism. They make a good point about the poison of
negativity and any form of thought that does personal energized harm to
other life in this quote:

With the huge range of beauty products on the shelves, why do some people still make their own beauty products?
I started making my own skin care products years ago. I got a book about
natural skin care. You can actually make masks out of mashed fruit.
They are really messy though, but back then, I was really broke. Could
not afford to spend on good skin care so I made do with what I could
get.
I mashed watermelon and put in on my face. My face felt really clean,
but there was a bit of a rash after that. I also read that papaya was
used in spas for back exfoliating masks. In fact, the enzymes in papayas
and pineapples are often used to exfoliate the skin. These can be
rather harsh though, so I never tried that on my face.
One thing led to another. I moved on to make my own creams. I went
through a period of time where every body lotion I tried from the
stores, from the cheap ones to the $20 ones, made my skin itch. That

It is said that a thing of beauty is a joy
forever. That probably explains why possessing beauty and being
beautiful is one of the foremost preoccupations of human beings. Over
the years, consumerism has transformed such preoccupations into frank
obsession. Inner beauty is no longer in – skin-deep beauty certainly is!
But what is wrong with that? Cosmetology and the beauty industry have
come of age, aided steadily by advances in cosmetic surgery. Daily
workouts, gym sessions, visits to beauty parlors and keeping in sync
with beauty and fashion tips has certainly become trendy.

A beauty salon will help you look your very best
with a price that will fit in almost any budget. A beauty salon will
be able to make your hair, skin, toes, and fingernails look marvelous.
In addition, most beauty salons offer their services for a fairly
reasonable price. However, sometimes it may be difficult to choose what
service you want. If that is the case, simply be on the lookout for
any fashion style that you like. Look through magazines and cut out
photos of styles and colors that you find pleasing. Take notes so that
when you do go to a beauty salon, you will know exactly what you want.
However, be aware that some beauty salons are better than others. To
make sure that you are in high-quality beauty salon, check to see if it
has clean beauty salon equipment and a clean work area. Also, be aware
that in most states, beauty salons are required to publicly display
their establishment license. If the salon or barbershop won’t show you
an establishment license, you don’t know whether the shop’s health and
safety procedures have been approved by the state.

Let us talk about beauty from a different angle!
We have our own criteria for judging the beauty of a woman. We
look the beauty of a lady from a certain angle and then pass the remarks
whether she is beautiful or not. It’s not fair. Let me tell every woman
that she is unique and beautiful.
The business of beauty is thriving everywhere. Women are spending
much of their time and money on buying beauty products. Even in the
third world countries, women living below the poverty line, buy cheap
and substandard beauty products, which give more harm to their skin than
good.

The phrase "natural beauty" has been abused and
misused beyond restoration. The modern use is almost never associated
with its true meaning. Someone said there should be a portrait of a
healthy person in a museum so people would know what they are talking
about. If we don’t know what a healthy person looks like, how do we know
what natural beauty is?
In our unnatural world, the
word "natural" no longer means without effort, at least not in the realm
of obtaining your best look. One thing is a must in defining natural
beauty: its achievement must not involve any sacrifice of health. None,
period. If health is compromised in any way beauty is not natural.

Avoid wearing too much
Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative
attention to you. That's what wearing too much makeup will do; it will
bring you unwanted attention. Don't wear too much of anything such as:
1. Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look
overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup.
2. Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It
looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye
shadow.
3. Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color
as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth
look. The magic word is blend.
4. Powder: The same holds true for powder - not too much.
Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lines.
