The Beautiful YOU


I always say and will keep saying, "be yourself", "you need to wear that, instead of that outfit wearing you", " you are beautiful" and "wear what you like regardless of what other people think". Well, in these sayings, there is something I'm trying to say. I have now discovered what I'm  saying between the lines and an even better, simpler but complicated way to say it, with the help of Nigel Barkers in his book, Beauty Equation.
He describes this as confidence. Yes it makes total sense! If you are confident you wear what you like, and you feel confident that it looks good on you. You become yourself and stop trying to look like this model, or act like that other celebrity. We also stop following "the trends" because what we wear is what looks good and "no one looks as good as me in this outfit."
Mr Nigel, goes in detail, he talks about inner and outer beauty. He mentions that they both compliment each other and that these two make a more beautiful and remarkable you. Do you know what your inner you is? Maybe not, because we are too busy trying to look like someone else instead of emphasizing ourselves.
With this in mind we should probably focus in ourselves and tell the world you are beautiful just because you are YOU.
The Key points to our absolute beauty are:
  • Be Yourself- That's going to be the first and most difficult one. Portraying your self in yourself. (sounds incorrect but it makes sense)
  • Emphasize your natural beauty instead of having a "make-over"
  • Being sexy does not mean showing (or almost )you underwear in public. That's juts nasty and inappropriate.
  • I would have to add that health mentally and physically. That's when we are happier and glowing with confidence and your real you. You just feel GOOD, trust me.
  • Skinny (anorexic or bulimic) is not beauty,..that goes under health, and different and delicate subject;I might not even touch the subject. I trust everyone would be smart enough to know that's not healthy.
I would highly recommend this book, there is a website that follows the book were you can experience and have fun with your inner and outer beauty through photographs at Beautyequation.com.
Did I miss anything?
Maybe an example:
Have you notice that person that's always "glowing", happy and smiling and you don't know why? That's inner beauty. That person may not even be skinny or have a six pack or be model height (*cough me cough, cough the tall part anyway,...)
Any other example? How about you?
