Any woman can look beautiful if she feels beautiful. Feeling beautiful makes you feel good about life, increases your self-confidence and lifts up your mood. Here are reasons why beauty is every woman’s asset that she should assert.
Beauty is innate to women – all women are born with it. Each possesses a unique grace and confidence, which ultimately defines her beauty. Whatever shape or size, a woman’s body has curves that make a sensual silhouette and delicate features, which seem like intricate details of a work of art. Sadly, some woman can’t see beyond their flaws that they cover themselves up as much as they can; not knowing that being beautiful begins with loving and appreciating one’s own body.

Beauty is a matter of respect – being beautiful is not a question of whether you’re pretty or plain, young or old, thin or not thin – simply put; it’s not what you look; it’s how you project yourself. A good appearance shows that you respect yourself. When you take time to relax, take care of your skin, fix your hair and dress up. People see that, and they pay respect you, too.
Beauty reflects a sound mind and body – having balanced lifestyle shows in the way you see and deal with the things around you. A clear head makes you focused and keeps you from doing sloppy job, while a relaxed and good mood perks up your physique and helps you relate with others better. When you’re at peace with yourself, whatever the circumstances – wet weather, traffic jam, or gossipmongers – can’t ruin your day.
Feeling beautiful comes from within – when you feel and accept that you are beautiful, you don’t need to be conscious of people throwing second glances at you for assurance. Feeling beautiful inside will most definitely reflect on the outside that others are able to see. Surfacing your inner beauty gives you the ability to hold your head up with confidence and face the world upfront.

Simple tips in preserving beauty
Small simple habits count a lot to revealing your beauty.
- Drink plenty of water – apart from hydrating; water purifies the body by removing toxins and waste.
- Catch up on at least eight hours of beauty sleep – your body needs as much time to recharge and rejuvenate itself after the day’s activities.
- Exercise regularly – you don’t need to hit the gym everyday. Taking the stairs, cleaning your pad, or grooving to some music makes a world of difference.
- Put a smile in your face – it accentuates your face, brightens a gloomy day and gives off positive vibes!
- Indulge in your favorite past time – a relaxing bubble bath, reading a good book, or soothing music make you feel wonderful!

Some of you may have seen this story before, but it is really good and it contains a very interesting topic.
The following exchange took place on a New York message board:

A beautiful young girl in New York writes:
“What am I doing wrong? I’m tired of beating around the bush I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25-year-old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a -million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m over-reaching at all. Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a businessman who made around 200-250K But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock.
$250,000 won’t get me to Central Park West. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker, and lives in Tribeca. She’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? Here are my questions specifically: Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics – bars, restaurants, gyms. What are you looking for in a mate? Is there an age range I should be targeting? Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the Upper East Side so plain? What’s the story there? Lawyers, investment bankers, doctors. How much do those guys really make? And where do the hedge fund guys hang out? How do you rich guys decide on marriage vs just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY”
An Investment Banker’s Response:
“I qualify as a guy who fits your bill – I make more than $500K per year. Here’s how I see it: Your offer is a plain and simple crappy business deal. What you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here’s the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity – in fact, it is very likely that my income will increase, but it is an absolute certainty that you won’t be getting any more beautiful! So, in economic terms, you are a depreciating asset. In Wall Street terms, we’d call you a trading position – not a buy and hold. It doesn’t make good business sense to `buy you’ (which is what you’re asking) – so I’d rather lease. The deal that makes sense for me is dating, not marriage.”
To the gentleman who called me a depreciating asset
I must confess that I was somewhat taken aback upon reading your email. Indeed, it has taken some time for me to sufficiently recuperate from my surprise. However, your inability to grasp the realities of the dating market is not surprising, given that you have successfully employed the tools of collusion and market manipulation rather that true acumen in your supposed wealth generation.
If your grasp of finance were not a minor like your ego, you would realize that the “outflows” associated with my depreciating “assets” are quite certain, and therefore subject to a low discount rate when determining their present value. In addition advancement in plastic surgery is not subject to the same limitation. Thus, with some additional capital expenditure, the overall lifetime of my assets is greatly increased. Sad that Ashton Kutcher has demonstrated understanding of the female asset class which you, in all of your financial “wisdom”, have not.
So what is your take on this. Do you think beauty fades and that a womans value decreases with age? Please leave me a comment today with your opinion.
