Effortless Beauty
An idiot’s guide to looking beautiful without trying too hard:
1. Recognize your own beauty. Dangerously short of being narcissistic, you must always see and maintain your beauty. Keep your body clean and healthy; eat a proper diet and get enough rest. Avoid vices and other activities that may hurt and abuse your body.
2. Keep that pretty face up, despite anyone or anything that tries to speak of the contrary. To convince other people of your charms, you must first convince yourself. Believe that you are lovely in your own way and that with your wit and charisma, you have the ability to brighten up anyone’s day. This goes beyond physical attractiveness; one should remain mentally alert, confident but pleasant, even to strangers.
3. Recognize beauty in others. Beauty can be found in a lot of other things like sunsets and drizzles, adorable puppies, the full moon, the way the afternoon sun reflects on skyscrapers, your favorite song. Appreciate the beauty in other people, do not hesitate and be generous with praise. Accept the fact that there is beauty every where, making it a competition is downright foolish.
4. Surround yourself with the people you love, do the things that make you happy. Laugh, sing and dance. Know that you are loved.
