The Beauty Conscious Culture

September 30, 2011 by

Much attention has been given to world beauty contests – the search for talent and beauty in women. The judges want to know who is the prettiest overall, with the nicest wave, good modelling, talent and charm. In the final stage of judging, the candidate who gives the most intelligent and smart answer bags the crown.

But where does all this beauty consciousness leave us?

Many strive to be or appear beautiful for social acceptance. It is in this search for a beautiful self why beauty products, beauty consultants and beauty clinics make good business. There is a lip augmentation which creates in a woman luscious pouty lips. There is breast augmentation for a full voluptuous effect. Excesses in the body are removed or lessened as in liposuction, butt and thigh firming and other procedures.

Retouching to be beautiful may satisfy a need for social acceptance or a social one. But I still believe in ‘au naturel’. What is natural has its blessings. If you were born with a not-so-pretty look, you could have a talent somewhere. It could be in arts, sports, cooking, singing, playing musical instruments or writing.

Remember, most barren soils have oil – the so called black gold underneath.

My Quotes Collection

September 25, 2011 by

When I was still younger, computers and internet were not popular then. I created this journal or scrapbook and collected quotations made by famous people. I have inspirational ones, those that are full of humor and basically just anything that catches my fancy.

With the advent of the internet, I wasn’t keen on collecting quotes anymore. You can search anything right now on the internet and I lost the passion for writing them down when you can now easily read Mother Teresa, famous presidents and famous stars like Audrey Hepburn quotes online.

Do you enjoy reading or collecting quotable quotes too?
