Beauty Tyrant

I think that’s a fantastic topic. I’ve grew up listening to my mom saying never to do plastic surgery because it’s not natural and it will wear out and have side effects. However, times have changed and everything is so advanced now. Almost everybody has had some kind of procedure done before.

To be honest, I’m also at the crossroad thinking should I have some procedures done. Of course, I ask around and I get mostly negative views but then at the end, the choice is totally up to me as I will be the one going through it all myself.

Also, I have had the dilemma whereby I think it’s really no longer a bonus if you’re born beautiful or perfect, because others who are not born that beautiful could easily go under the knife and work towards perfection.

However, it’s a pretty common topic these days but I feel, it still touches a nerve or two on people

I should say, if surgery could help boost your self esteem and make you happier, by all means do it. And, with moderation

My son once replied to a comment I made to removing my strech marks the following “that because they were created while I was pregnant that these were special and should remain a part of me.”

Being beautiful or perfect is superficial in itself because it spawned from media. However, I’ve always believed that taking care of your own body is a sign of respect to yourself and to the people who are important to you. This does not mean get everything nipped and tucked. But it does mean that making an effort and then being confident in those efforts matters. You’ll never have perfection, so beauty relies on making the best of what you have and worked hard for, and then being confident about what those things are and accept them as you! Hope that makes sense : )

What wonderful comments! I am a firm believer in being your best self and embracing what you have been given. However, I still struggle with wanting to look as youthful (but still natural) as possible.

One thing I do is read from many different sites, books and blogs on the subject. I want to stay informed of health and beauty smarts so that I can make the most of what I have.

Well heres the deal for me. People can do what ever makes them feel right for them. Whatever that may be. However, if it becomes obscessive to the point of endangering themselves…someone needs to step in and help them.
Me, Im getting older. Nothing I can do about that part. But I do want to do something about my SLIGHTLY, (and i do say SLIGHTLY) drooping boobies. I want those things picked up so high I can eat my breakfast off them ladies.
Suggestions?

Pat – If you’re looking into cosmetic surgery, you may want to consider a breast lift. But if you’re not sure about going under the knife, you could try one of the Pure STYLE Girlfriends’ products called Pick-Me-Up. It’s a breast lift-up tape that gives you similar results as a breast lift. Here is their Web site: http://www.purestylegirlfriends.com
Hope that helps and thanks for reading!

I believe beauty comes from within but if a little nip and tuck is in order I am all for it!

I believe the perfect woman, is the female that feels sure of herself and takes care in her appearance, no matter her body shape or the perfection of her skin and hair. That woman usually well attract the attention of both male and females, because there is a sense of security that she brings out making her seem very sexy and smart.

I forgot to also indicate, that if we woman were more secure of ourself, we would need to have any type of plastic surgery or shopping for every item possible in search of a perfect self.

I think that is the perfect way to put it. Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but perfection is pretty tricky and nearly impossible. If you take care of yourself on the inside it will definetly show on the outside!

Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! It’s great to hear what others think when it comes to our body image and our own perception of it.

Every woman is perfect as she is. Plastic surgery is a great option, but only to satisfy one self. It should never be done for the opposite sex, but rather to feel better about oneself. I also really liked the last comment about beauty on the inside!

Finally Blockbuster is getting into the 21st century. I’m one of the few that still get my videos there, but this gives another great option from a company you can trust.

For those of you who don’t want a knife to your face, ha…you should try Facial Secret! It uses LED light therapy to eliminate any kind of skin imperfections from wrinkles to acne to scars! It is a unit that is for home use and only takes 5-10 minutes a day. My mother-in-law uses it and you can def. see a difference!
