Thoughts written on a rainy day


 

" Absolutely stunning! " A bold statement from The glamorous world of fashion. It has became the norm of our daily conversations to include: " Oh you look wonderful in that dress! "
Society hollers that being fashionable signifies an invincible but conceivable social rank.

The truth is, we have all been there, done that and keep doing so. We jumped into society's band wagon with no thoughts nor reflections.
The truth is, appreciating the articles that adorns our bodies trigger a tide of temporary happiness that recedes when dinner ends.

There is no shame nor fraught for appreciating material beauty. The collapse of the heart of the fashion industry is pushing aside the Truth of true beauty.

When was the last time, you heard a mother sharing to her daughter ( or son ) these Time Tested Beauty Tips?

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!” 
― Sam Levenson
