Go With Your Own Glow
From a Skin Cancer Foundation Ad...
"A raisin is a grape that didn't have the sense to get out of the sun.
And think about it, if the giant orb in the sky can do that to a little piece of fruit, imagine what it's doing to your precious skin. Layers one to seven do not like being basted, toasted, roasted, fried and all other manner of scorched. And how does your skin show it? Hello wrinkles. Hello crow's feet. Hello blotches and burns and who-knows-what-all-else. Not to be prejudice, but on the pecking order of brains, we humbly submit that human beings should have more sense than dumb grapes. Don't you agree? Nothing looks better on you than healthy, glowing, radiant shine you were born with. Because today, being healthy- truly healthy- is what's sexy.

The Eye of the Beholder
Found this quote in my "Iman the Color of Beauty" book and thought it was good enough to share. So, here goes...
People often say that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. Behold yourself as beautiful. Have the courageto celebrate the things about you that are unique. Find beauty in everything you are, even your weaknesses; let the beauty of your spirit shine through imperfections.
