Your Appearance: A Reflection of Your Inner Strength

Look at a well-groomed woman; she speaks the language of self-respect, courage, hope and character.

Appearance and self-care have nothing to do with your bank balance or status in society. There is no excuse for being unkempt – this includes from your head to your toes.

Maintain your self-respect even if you are going through a difficult time. Good planning and daily routines make daily tasks easy and if you live purposefully you will achieve everything. Make sure you start and finish your day with a few minutes for yourself. Keep a journal for reminders and daily routines and what you still need to do for yourself.

A good friend has a routine to take care of her nails and toe nails every Sunday – through every summer and winter she has the beautiful manucured nails and toe nails. She followed the routine for many years.

A good hairstyle that suits your appearance and lifestyle is first on the list – it is your crown, the frame of your face. When finances get tight and you can’t afford to colour your hair at a hair salon, get your colour off the shelf and ask a friend to help you at home. As you are getting older, make sure you deal with the grey hair. Natural grey hair is beautiful – just make sure you keep it in good condition and a style that suits you.

Make sure your clothes fit your body. As you are getting older, your style may also change. Get rid of old and stretched clothes - especially sweatpants, they can look old and worn out very quickly.

Good quality shoes are always an investment. Your feet carry your weight for so many years so make sure you wear the best quality shoes that suit your pocket. Shoes complete any outfit - so keep that in mind.

Enjoy your womanhood - you were created to live your life with a plan and purpose and to wear your crown. You have the power to cope with all circumstances and situations and somehow you always end up being the strongest one in the room.
