But let's take a look at some of these different things we physically strive for. The famous Sophia Loren once said, "beauty is how you feel on the inside and it reflects in the eyes." Think about it - if you are happy on the inside, your demeanor is peppy and you smile more often. A happy smile definitely lights up the eyes and the whole face. The eyes are truly the window to the soul and happiness will show to others, even if you think they don't notice. No amount of eye shadow, eye liner, or long lashes will replace the inner beauty you already possess. By no means I am against using those things, but without inner happiness and acceptance, no amount of product will give you what you internally need.
And, of course, we would all love to have the perfect shape. Heck, I would love it myself. But, guess what? I don't have to have that perfect shape, and I feel wonderful and secure within myself. As women, we are constantly bombarded with skinny models on the runway or the media's sense of beauty and size. Ladies, we can't all be a size 2 with "perfect" bodies and skin. What makes us beautiful is how we perceive ourselves first and foremost. Love yourself!! There is nothing more beautiful than that, and it will reach far more people than you realize. Smile, walk with grace, laugh, and take control of that confidence that is inside of you.Tap into that inner beauty and embrace it, find your happy spot, and all that beauty will come shining through, both on the inside and the outside. There certainly is no photo shop app for inner beauty. It is a natural quality in all of us ladies. So, with my happy foot raised in the air, I am kicking photo shop to the curb!
