If you have beauty . . . . . . . .

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.

Listen to Your Body

Always listen to your body and know your body - it will tell you in time when it will need some time out and some nurturing.

Be kind to yourself. Do not compare yourself with elusive images of the perfect models you see on TV or in magazines, but rather acknowledge your own beauty. Remember, you will be less able to see beauty in others if you cannot see it in yourself first. 

Receive compliments with ease. Smile and say thank you when someone comments on how great you look or what a good job you have done. Avoid throwing the compliments back in their face by seeking another or dismissing it altogether. 

It is great to hear positive things about yourself. Acknowledging and receiving compliments with grace is a powerful thing. When you start to acknowledging your own beauty, and treating yourself as if you are your best friend, you will instantly start to feel better. 

Feel good and you will look good. Beauty is illuminated when you feel good about who you are. It shows in your posture, the way you walk, even the way you talk.

How to Make Organic Beauty Creams at Home

Most day to day beauty products contain dozens of ingredients, including many chemicals that once researched begin to worry some of us that we put them anywhere near our precious skin. If you're concerned about the chemicals added to cosmetics and beauty products, but don’t have the money for the expensive designer organic labels, why not make your own?

Many organic beauty product recipes contain fewer than ten ingredients, and you can make them without needing a degree and without having to go out and buy lots of special equipment. As long as the ingredients you use are organic, the product you make will be organic.

Essentially a cream is a softened mixture of water and oil. You'll need a few basics to make your own cream at home, these are as follows:

• 4 ounces base oil

• 1 ounce of beeswax

• 2 ounces of distilled water

• 1 teaspoon of essential oils

• 1 vitamin E capsule (optional)

The beeswax acts as an emulsifying agent, and helps to blend the cream together to form a cream. When selecting an essential oil to use, popular base oils include jojoba oil, olive oil, and even sunflower oil. If you are feeling confident or want to experiment you can substitute the distilled water for a herbal tea of your choice or even rosewater. The Vitamin E oil is included to help preserve the cream and to extend its shelf life. If you didn’t want to use Vitamin E oil you could use grapefruit seed in its place.

If you are feeling brave and wanted to change the cream slightly there are additional ingredients you could include, such as Shea butter or coconut butter, and essential oils. Adding butter to your cream can give your homemade product a richer consistency and will also add to the nutritious and moisturizing properties.

How to make the cream:

The first step in the cream-making process is to blend and melt down the oils and emulsifiers. Using the ingredients above, mix together, the base oil of your choice with the beeswax and melt it over a low heat on the stove or in the microwave. Wait for the beeswax to melt and then slowly add in the distilled water whilst whisking with an electrical whisk or hand blender. Once mixed, finally, add the essential oils of your choice and vitamin E oil (extract this by puncturing the capsule and squeezing out the contents). Make sure you stir the cream thoroughly and ensure the oils and vitamin E is mixed in well.

If you did decide to add butter to this cream recipe, you will need to reduce the amount of base oil you use to keep the oil-to-water ratio the same. If you do not keep this ratio the same, the cream will be either thicker or thinner depending on what exactly was added. The butter is added when you add the oils and beeswax and should be heated so it can melt down.

The recipe above not only saves you money but also leaves you with a fully organic (providing you used organic ingredients) face cream.

It also opens up a whole world of cream-making possibilities. You could use any base oils, emulsifiers, and butter along with any floral waters or hydrosols of your choice. You can tailor make any organic, homemade creams to any part of your body or to help address any specific skin problems you might have.

Believe in Yourself!

Self-worth and body image is assisting us to get the most from self-pleasure and let us be truthful to get the most from life.  It gives confidence in yourself and allows you to be comfortable with your own body.

Whatever your body shape, you are attractive and you are beautiful. You do not have to be thin to be attractive! The first step is to be confident, appreciate your own body. Remember, there is always someone out there who finds you attractive. Beauty is not all about looks but confidence and believing in your own self-worth.

Your body is unique, enjoy and love it. Look at yourself and focus on the good details. People will focus on the good and not the bad. Believe in yourself and then you will see that everything else will follow.
