Thanks to GorgeousoCity blog for joining my blog challenge. This blogger is ‘Sharing Gems of Gorgeousness’ by writing about beauty and skincare – particularly of the natural and organic variety. This former beauty editor took the jump from working for someone else to creating independence with her own business. One of my favorite posts is about eidble beauty oil by Bay of Plenty. You simply enjoy a yummy spoonful of this oil and it replenishes your skin from the inside out.
She also has solid advice like her wonderfully honest post on our quest for perfection. She talks about a film by Jean Kilbournde and the prevelance of photoshop in the beauty/fashion industry. It’s great advice without being judgemental.
So visit this blog and subscribe to the updates so you don’t miss out on a new and healthy beauty products. http://gorgeousocity.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/empowering-young-women

Individual Empowerment 
That is a good point. Thank you. On the opposite side of the coin just because you are considered not beautiful doesn’t automatically make you nice. I learned my lesson on that one.
We have a bad habit of stereotyping and when it occasionally is true it confirms our beliefs that looks and coloring and clothing define us.

Ha ha re the avo mask, delish!
Beauty isn’t about being perfect is it? Some of the most beautiful looking people I’ve met aren’t the most beautiful inside – not always – but sometimes.

Yes. I want to go home and try the avocado mask. I think I can just lick it off after. LOL!
Thank you for joining my challenge. I look forward to reading your blog.
I love that you are not focusing on looking perfect, but being healthy and having the beauty that brings.
