Natural Beauty

At times I don’t get the whole ‘beauty thing’… I don’t get Botox crap nor anyone who would want plastic waste in their body. I don’t get pancaked women wearing tight masks of makeup *wonder what it looks like in the morning!* and I don’t get women who curl their lashes…

I just read an article about the latest gadget, The Turbo Lashwand: a double-heating coil lash curler that reaches 60 degrees. *eeew* The thought of curling eyelashes makes me cringe… Forgive me, I just don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a little eye makeup but…

I believe natural is best and I think nature is constantly proving this statement if you’re willing to look for the examples it’s showing you. I mean…, have a look at the pictures below, did you ever expect to see something so bright and colourful and so amazingly beautiful?

I didn’t… so here’s my tribute to natural, nature and beauty… It’s called a Splendid Fairywren and splendid it is! And guess what… It doesn’t even need a Turbo Lashwand…

Just Another Day

To those who didn’t forget: thanks for the birthday wishes! :) I treated myself to some Smarties and made an enquiry about a beautiful antiques tea cup, my B-Day gifts this year. I’m taking time for myself today trying to reflect on things, because it’s needed. If you keep facing the same disappointing situation then it might be time to change drastically.

Things would be so different if I had some choices… Hopefully September this year will be the start of that. I have an appointment next Monday to discuss ‘the change’ *wink*. Did you know that violet Smarties were previously dyed with cochineal, a scale insect from which the crimson-coloured dye carmine is derived? Don’t click link if you’re faint-hearted. *wink*
