The Real Beauty Tips

"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 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.



True beauty comes from within". Such a cliche' quote, but isn't it true. Anyone who's ever worked in customer service could testify to the validity of that quote. There was a time when I worked the refund desk at a retail outlet, and let me tell you...someone could be drop dead gorgeous. I would be all excited to help this beautiful person...then her true self would rise up!

I don't care how beautiful she is on the outside, enduring five minutes of a haughty, arrogant, cursing prima donna is enough to make any fairy tale princess uglier than the proverbial frog that she kissed in the first place!



When you are truly beautiful on the outside and the inside...well, that's a combination that can't be beat!

My 5 Categories of the Beautiful


My 5 Categories of the Beautiful


Well this is not your common lifestyle page in the magazines or newspapers or showbiz bulletins.


I wonder how you categorize beauty. But these are my five categories of what is beautiful.


1. An image of general acceptability : There is this immediate perceptible sense of acceptability for a person's image, character and attitude.

2. Self confidence and inner beauty : Unlike the first and the rest, this is a function that is internal but projected for others to perceive.

3. Beholder's preference of certain physical attributes: This is an external function of the beholder's taste for beauty. While this is the common view of beauty, this is so influenced by popular media stereotypes of beauty, which is shaped by the dominant Western culture.

4. Warmth and capacity for good relations : Unlike the first, this is a function of interaction rather than perception

5. Zest (spirit) in life : I would include here (a) physical energy and healthy body (b) active sexual life,(c) positive view of life and joyfulness, (d) genuine interest in people, (e) devotional spiritual life, and (f) intentional care of personal image.

Obviously there is a degree of subjectivity to all these categories. Whichever you apply.

God in the Bible never gave us definitions of what is beautiful. It must be borne of our conventions of perception. When he created things, he said, "It was good." Everything was created good and thereby intended to be beautiful.

BEAUTY AND BEYOND IT...

Beauty lies within


Beauty lies in the specific looks of a person, rather than the object, because different people feel beauty in different things. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

B
eauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.” Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God. I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want—an adorable pancreas ?


I
t is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it. Beauty seen is never lost, God’s colors all are fast. When a woman isn’t beautiful, people tell her : You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.


B
eauty is not real. Beauty only exists in perception. Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone. Beauty Parlor: A place where women curl up and dye. The beauty of male has not yet been portrayed by the only one who can do so-the female. By plucking her petals, You do not gather the beauty of the flower.Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. She was a beauty in her youth a fact which she alone remembers.

True Beauty

What Is True Beauty?

What qualities do stunning women share?

Elegant. Chic. That certain je ne sais quoi. Call it whatever you want. Certain women possess that one glowing quality that catches people off-guard. Often it’s hard to pinpoint its genesis. It could be the simple yet classy chignon in her hair, it could be her stunning attire, it could even be her picture perfect smile, but often it’s something much more intrinsic than any of these. It could just be something about the way she carries herself.

What are the things that truly speak to the glamour of a woman?

Childhood Idol

I would say that true beauty lies in subtlety and the little external details only magnify it. Think of a woman that you idolized as a child. Was it your mother? Grandmother? A teacher, perhaps? Think about what you remember most. I remember my mother the most and the way her wavy long hair framed her face and softened her eyes. I used to think she was a mermaid because of the way her hair flowed. But it was more than just these traits that made women such as my mother so admirable.

Fabulous Feature

One major factor of beauty is having a captivating feature.

Do your eyes have a sparkle to them that shows even when it’s dark out?

Do you have a commanding posture that oozes sexiness? Perhaps you have a charismatic laugh that people can’t seem to get enough of. Those of us who have figured out how to play up this feature will never have difficulty catching glances of awe even in a large crowd.We have also learned how to use these features to the best of our advantage. A quick glance over our shoulder or flashing our signature smile has been known to earn us discounts, passes, numbers, an endless array of free goodies and sometimes even jobs. It’s more than superficial “prettiness” because we have learned how to exude confidence and charm without having to resort to unclassy alternatives like over-the-top makeup and revealing attire, but rather by having learned how to maximize our best beauty assets.

More Than Skin Deep

But more important and long lasting than any of these physical attributes are those that cause us to truly admire or idolize certain women in the first place: inner beauty. This is why Princess Diana is a lasting icon, whereas Britney Spears isn't even a commonly respected personality. True inner beauty means that your smile goes beyond photogenic and is genuine and sincere. It means that people enjoy being around you because it makes them feel beautiful. It’s a matter of natural charm and a kind spirit that brings out one's inner beauty.

This, I would argue, is the most important part of one's personality, because this will carry through when old age takes its toll.Lastly, I want to point out one of the most understated qualities that contributes to a woman’s beauty: wisdom.

It increases with age and experience, it shines through even the most weathered faces and is the reason why we looked up to our female idols in the first place, even if we didn’t know it at the time. A baby can be cute, a young girl can have a pretty face, but real beauty takes time to cultivate and develop, and relies on far more than genetics, surgery or physique to be truly captivating.

In the end, beauty chalks up to more than just a fresh face and a killer body. It relies heavily on personality. Consider the following for a moment: if you spend your life stressed, angry and resentful, it’s not going to be your laugh lines that will be noticeable in your older years. That being said, the best advice for lasting beauty ought to be obvious: smile…

"True Beauty"


BEAUTY is not based on how attractive we are to everybody else, but how attractive we are to ourselves, for one cannot think other people think they are full of beauty unless they know they are beautiful too. I believe the personality and the soul is what makes a person beautiful,it does not always have to be the physical appearance. Sometimes the best guy isn't always the hottest guy or the richest... sometimes he's the ugliest or the poorest. Don't go through life wearing shutters,learn to take them off. Beauty has to take a back seat to whatever else may lie in your heart. Sometimes love or something like it takes a form such as a thought across the internet. Real beauty is the beauty of soul and Beauty is like a tree; it grows from the inside out.. Try to put that in your heads.
