Not too long ago I believed making an effort in the beauty area was frivolous. After all God looks on the heart. But after several years of marriage I realized that how I look makes a difference to my husband. He loves me no matter what, but knowing he has a beautiful flower to come home to at night makes him a better man. The other half to that scripture is “Man looks on the outside.” And I want my outside to reflect the beautiful person that I’m striving for on the inside. I found out in the process that when I feel good about how I look, it’s easier to be beautiful on the inside. My beauty regiment has 6 focus areas:
1. Personal Character and Cheerfulness
2. Nutrition
3. Exercise
4. Skincare and makeup
5. Haircare and styling
6. Wardrobe
I’ve yet to meet a woman who with proper care in each of these 6 areas, couldn’t be beautiful. Tomorrow I’ll start with some simple homemade skincare solutions.
You are so right, Angela. On the frugal side of things, I have found a much less expensive exfoliating scrub than my Mary Kay (which I love). To save money I bought St. Ives body scrub and took a chance and gently applied it to my face. I think it worked just as well and at about 1/5 of the price (and a much larger supply).
Hi Angela, I’m really excited to read this series. I’m into f rugal beauty…and homemade beauty s uppli es, because it’s better for m y sk i n . but that’s another topic 🙂 🙂
Oh, I shared the link to your site with my aunt. we were talking about saving mo ney and eating healthy. I mentioned your site , because you show people how to save mo ney without using coupons. She really liked that. I used to use coupons, but I don ‘t really anymore, especially since I started making my meals at home, but that’s a subject for another time, too. In any case, she LOVES your site. She was really grateful for the link. Thanks for doing what you do. Have a great fourth of July weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather 🙂
