The Glow Is More Than Skin Deep — LOH#301

First off, it does feel good and nice when someone notices and sees me looking all good and radiant, but for me, it's not just for the compliment and all of that; it is mainly because of how it makes me feel.

There's something about you dressing up, looking all good, smelling nice, and taking a look at the mirror to see the elegant person staring back at you. Even on a difficult day, your mood tends to lighten up. And when I use the word elegant, I'm not saying you dress in very fancy and big clothing with makeup and various jewelry. Nah, you can be dressed in very simple and neat clothes and still look elegant...

Also, when we talk about looking good, I would first off like to say one thing a lot of us do overlook, and that is rest and peace of mind. They are very important in not just looking good but also feeling good. You can be using the best combination of skin care products and still look stressed, filled with wrinkles, tired, and all, and you will see someone with no special skin care products looking all radiant.

What I'm saying in essence is that it is not just about what you use/apply on your body; what you carry in your mind as well matters. While taking care of yourself, you take care of your whole self, which is your mind, soul, and body.

For me, I have a very simple routine. Drinking enough water, taking time to rest, keeping my skin clean, keeping my bedding clean, and keeping my space neat. I'm not of the opinion that you need expensive products to glow and look good. Using a neat pillow and pillowcase can change everything. Taking enough water can be a game changer; cooking and living in a neat space can work wonders. And all of those most times are always easy, cheap, and better than buying various things you may not use or that may not work.

Also, I talked about cooking earlier. Yeah, I'm someone who pays attention to what I eat. And even though the food we eat may not always give an instant change, their contributions to how we look and feel cannot be denied. So, eat well, brush your teeth, bathe, take care of your surroundings, clean your space, change your beddings, wash your hair, and rest.

True beauty isn't always what people see or say; it is the confidence that comes from you knowing that you're indeed taking very good care of yourself... Inside and outside.
