Ever had anyone tell you, “Wow, you look good in
this!” “You’re absolutely breathtaking” “O my!
God must have made you on a Sunday when He
wasn’t plagued with creating everything else!” I’m
sure you have; and boy doesn’t it feel good having
the efforts we take into looking good being
appreciated. But here’s my personal favorite,
“YOU make this dress look good!” (winks)
Heeeey! It’s not ‘cause I have a big ego, it’s just
because truly that is what it should be. Beyond the
makeup, the nice clothes, expensive designer
labels etc. we need to ask “How am I really?
Without these things, can I say I look and feel
good?” Yes clothes give us a perk when we’re
dressed to the nines (and tens, LOL). But the real
question is “when I look at me without them on,
how do I feel? Who am I naked in front of my
mirror?”Don’t get me wrong I am not talking
about the sculpted muscles of Hercules or the
voluptuousness of Marilyn Munroe (gimme a bit
of both though. On my man and on me! Hey! Just
saying, LOL); I’m referring to our state of being.
Do you look as good on the inside as you do on
the outside dressed up? Do you look for ways to
rejuvenate your inside out so it is not like painting
a beaten up car so it looks new again

One thing we’ve got to know, guys and ladies,
is that like every machine, our bodies will wear
and tear and the only way to keep it going
longer is to maintain if from the inside out;
just like ensuring your engine is at its best, a
paint job at the expense of that will ‘knock’
the engine!
Rather than spend so much money on
makeup, accessories, new wardrobe every now
and again, how about spending that much on
skin care and proper diet? We’re not all blessed
with flawless skin, I for one hate to have to
wear as much make up as I do, but I’ve got to
due to a very sensitive acne prone skin.
However makeup is temporary measure. More
important for me is having a diet and regime
that promotes a healthier skin. It’s not magic!
It’s a continuum. It’s a lifestyle, with time as I
age I believe I’ll see the rewards of this
decision.
So I eat recklessly, I live sedentary, I get
married, have a kid or five (smiles); I get all
flabby, but thank God for body magic!
Naaaaaaaaaah! Hold on folks. I’m no advocate
of skinny! In fact as one from the health
background, I abhor it when the major message
