Project Inner Beauty

Lately I’ve been mulling over this idea of achieving balance between inner and outer beauty. Many of us tend to focus on one over the other. When all you think about is outer beauty, you might believe that outer appearance is the basis of beauty. On the other hand, when you focus on inner beauty, you could believe that physical beauty is superficial.

Although I know in theory that your inner beauty shines through to reveal your outer beauty, it’s taken awhile for me to truly understand this. I now know that inner beauty is in the little details or actions you take - whether it’s offering a smile to a stranger, eating the right foods, wearing clothing that flatters your body, or using the right hair tools. These are all little things you can do to take care of yourself, and they add up to make you the unique person that you are.  Read more...

This is the question that came to mind as I saw this picture of Kelly Osbourne taken at Art of Elysium's 5th Annual Heaven Gala in Los Angeles.

I was browsing Twitter today, and came across some inspiration from Doreen Virtue that I want to pass on...

We are often kind and offer positive words to others, but when was the last time you looked in the mirror and spoke kind words to yourself?  Create a habit of telling yourself, "I love you", every morning as you're getting ready for the day.

There are many people who say that fashion is not important.  How can they say that when everyone wears clothes?  Believe it or not, fashion is part of our lives and will be as long as we live here on Earth...or they change the laws and decide that we can all walk around naked if we choose to.

Clothes do serve a function.  For instance, rain coats keep us dry during the rainy season and thermals for ladies keep us warm during the winter. Clothes are also an expression of our personality and unique style.  We can tell a story or fight for a cause through our clothing.  So don't tell me that fashion is not important.  Read More...

My friend and I went to a fashion show tonight where there were many women wearing cute little cocktail and evening dresses. We had decided to go the comfortable route, though. I was in leggings and a long top with silver sequin designs while my friend wore a fun top with dark blue jeans and flats.

As we stepped onto the red carpet to take pictures, I suddenly felt a twinge of self consciousness take over.

Oh, why didn’t I wear that black evening dress? Read more...
