Probably bigger than her car, what do you think is the biggest outlay of every modern woman? Yes – you’ve guessed it. Health and Beauty products. Not that men don’t have fingernails and toenails, hair all over their head (mostly), diet weight control issues, confidence issues, because they do – it’s just that men seem better at burying their heads in the sand and hoping the problems go away. They definitely do not seem keen on being seen having manicures, pedicures, facials, and such (even though they may secretly desire to have such pampering, their so-called masculinity inhibits them).
For a man, all I can say is thank goodness most women don’t have this problem, and do their level best to bring out their natural inner beauty to brighten up everybody’s lives, even though they normally do it by spending a fortune in health and beauty stores, health and beauty magazines, and usually quite expensive health and beauty treatments. Even when it comes to the hairdresser, a man will baulk at paying peanuts for a trim, where a woman may spend nearly a week’s wages at her favorite hairdresser.
However, there is really no need for such fortunes to be paid over to hairdressers, health and beauty stores, expensive health and beauty magazines, even expensive diet weight control systems, to achieve this exterior beauty that really comes from within every person.
So many of the things can be achieved from the comfort of your own home, using health and beauty products, simple home recipes, so that even usually expensive treatments can be complimented at home.
But with all of these treatments comes a by-product that is virtually priceless, and really explains why such fortunes are handed over every day to the professionals in these expensive salons. With such treatments comes that inner confidence that is born within us all, but is so easily suppressed by the stresses and strains of every day living.
For instance, do you remember the last time you were in the checkout line at your local supermarket, and there was a baby in its cart just in front of you, and it laid there looking at you, with a smile bubbling over with its sparkling little eyes – as if they had always known you? How does that make you feel? You simply can’t resist smiling back, and even pass the time in the queue talking to them.
Now apply the same technique to adults. If an adult has the inner confidence so that they could smile at you with sparkling eyes, how would that affect you? It would almost certainly push your confidence though the roof, and with any luck, you would do the same to the next person you met.
But – you are right – not everybody can afford to indulge in the wide range of beauty treatments, dietary and weight loss control, exercise regimes that are probably necessary for anybody to achieve this all-round sense of well-being and confidence.
So, we all need to define the main areas that our bodies (and our minds) need a bit of Tender Loving Care (TLC to you), and whether you are male or female, these are the most common areas that demand our attention (and usually our money).
