Your Guide To Raising Your Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves. The words we use to describe ourselves reflect whether our esteem is high or not. It has very little to do about how we or others see as the physical presentation but how we feel toward ourselves.
A person could have high esteem regarding their weight but to another, with the same height and weight, feelings may induce low self-esteem. With this in mind, it would be unfair to state that everyone should possess the same physical qualities as another. Magazine articles and pictures of super slim models induce a standard that states beauty is having this particular size. Beauty manufacturers make millions each year selling products that are supposed to make you feel a particular way. Lifestyle critics will have you believe that by not having what their values on how to live is below standard.
These organisations make their money on preying upon our self-esteem. If a standard was not epitomised, then people would not readily spend their cash buying these products to 'enhance' their features, to reach the epitome. However, you may feel a slight or monumental increase in your esteem if you were of perfect weight, of perfect complexion and lived in a fantastic house but even all this would not guarantee long lasting self-esteem; because self-esteem relies solely on your feelings. There are many people who appear to have all the attributes to being happy but are not. Why is this? It is because how they feel about themselves is what influences their self-esteem, not what they may or may not have. 

Rediscovering Your Feminine Self

The spirit of femininity is generous, graceful, nurturing, supportive, sensitive, intuitive, and oriented towards love and care. Despite all of these wonderful attributes, feminine energy, especially as it pertains to sexuality, has been suppressed, condemned, and vilified on a global scale for thousands of years. It is no wonder, then, that so often we associate shame, fear, and guilt with sex and sexuality. Through reawakening our feminine energy, we can learn to celebrate our femininity in all its forms and bring greater joy and intimacy into our lives and with ourselves.
Reintegrating our spiritual and sexual selves is an important first step in rediscovering our feminine self. Our culture's separation of these two aspects may be an ill-conceived view and therefore counter to fostering well-being, health, and joy in our bodies, hearts, and spirits. When we bring conscious awareness to the integration of the sexual with the spiritual and the spiritual with the sexual, we return to a sense of wholeness within.

Essential Makeup Brush Guide

Makeup can be a lot of fun to explore, and it's even more fun when you have a pleasant set of brushes to help you apply it. Makeup brushes are one of the most imperative, yet often forgotten essentials of beauty. They help you attain a professional look with even and precise coverage. It might be tough to decide what makeup brushes you need to purchase, especially if you are merely starting to use makeup for the first time. Here are some makeup brushes that every makeup lover needs in their beauty bin.

Eyeshadow
Many eyeshadow palettes will come with applicators to use with the makeup, however nothing will do the trick the way a real eyeshadow brush will. Eyeshadow brushes are the most unbelievable at evenly applying colors to the lid, smudging, and getting deep into the creases.

Beauty Blender
While this isn't exactly a makeup brush, it's still a really terrific tool to have. A beauty blender is a tool that you can use to make an airbrush finish on your face.
