Never judge anyone by appearance

“A beautiful woman is one with a beautiful heart. She may be covered with mud or sores but only her foot fit the glass slipper.” “What separates people who made their dreams come true is not setting goals to achieve a life the way they expect it to be, but how they expect to be, to achieve it.”

“No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.”― Eleanor Roosevelt

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.”― Kahlil Gibran

Never judge anyone by appearance

The perception of beauty varies from person to person. For many, beauty is synonymous with good looks. Attractive individuals indeed have a magnetic pull, but this only addresses the physical aspect. What’s often overlooked is that true beauty comes from within. Someone may be physically attractive but possess an ugly personality, which is truly disheartening. When we refer to inner beauty, we’re speaking about qualities like love, kindness, empathy, and compassion. External beauty is fleeting, but inner beauty is enduring.

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”― Mandy Hale

Embracing Inner Beauty: 8 Transformative Tips for Radiant Attraction

I mean it.

Yes, there are tips and ideas on how you can improve your hair, skin, clothing, etc. But in the end, even if you have all that down, you can still be a very unattractive person.

All of your actions and beliefs are going to really define how people see you.

And knowing exactly what you can do to become a person you’re proud of is going to make you a whole lot more attractive to others.

So let’s take the wonderful attributes you already have, and build on them!

1. They Figure Out Who They Want to Be

While attractive women have worked to get rid of the negative self-beliefs they have, they don’t just focus on who they are right now.

They also figure out who they want to be.

So yes, it can be good to get rid of the negative thoughts you’ve had about yourself (based on what unkind people have said about you).

That helps you to see your good attributes and what you’re actually capable of.

But it’s also important to focus on the kind of person you want to become. You want to build on the amazing things that are already there so that you can become the best (and most attractive) version of yourself.

2. They Read & Learn to Better Themselves

You DESERVE a Better Life ❤

I wanna be a reminder that YOU deserve to live a life you love. Sign up so I can give you helpfully good advice & get you there! 🙂

 

It’s so important to keep on learning how to heal from childhood trauma, become better at your finances, and so much more!

So make sure to not just hit the young adult section for books.

Go ahead and buy those books that’ll help you create a life you love.

3. Mindfulness

Mindfulness develops character and helps you appreciate the small things in life.

You also become more grateful for the things you have.

So even if you’re not eating a 5-star meal or have the most expensive clothing, you can still appreciate and pay attention to the good thing.

It also makes you a more attractive person to be around.

People naturally gravitate towards someone who is mindful and grateful.

4. Instagram

Yeah, you probably weren’t expecting this one!

I love following encouraging people on Instagram that help with mental health, happiness, and growth.

When you surround yourself with people who are growing, it encourages you to keep pushing forward.

5. They Know Their Worth

You are exceedingly important as a human being.

Self-love is one of the keys to having a happy life.

If you know your worth, you’ll never allow toxic people into your life.

You’ll know they only cause dysfunction and stress, and you’ll love yourself enough to keep them far away.

6. They Don’t Feel Pressured to Always Be Happy

Know that it’s ok to have a hard day or not always want to be around people.

It’s ok to have a day to yourself to do some mental/emotional/spiritual self-care.

It’s ok to tell yourself, “Hey, life is hard, but I can do hard things. I’m going to get through this. This moment will pass.”

Also, this makes you a more attractive person because…

  1. People will admire you for this.
  2. You’ll be the best version of yourself if you’re not always pushing yourself.

7. They Connect with People

Value your friendships and connect with people; pour into them.

Always be mindful to treat them the way you would want to be treated in every interaction.

Listen, build them up, give them help, and make them laugh.

By being a helping hand and a kind friend, this will help people to see the true you.

This is what makes you truly attractive.

8. Attractive Women Take Responsibility

Have you ever known someone where no matter what, they always had to be right?

That when they were called out, they would downplay what they did or make it sound like what they did was justifiable?

No one wants to be around people like that.

They’re the kind of people who even if they looked completely perfect on the outside, others would quickly find them unattractive.

People who are actually attractive see when they’re wrong and don’t hide it.

They take responsibility and care about the person that was wronged.

Tips To Keep Your Lips Soft and Smooth In Winter https://echowoven.com/tips-to-keep-your-lips-soft-and-smooth-in-winter/ Sun, 28 Nov 2021 19:05:28 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=22649 Winter skin problems are real, ladies, and one of them pesky problems is dry and chapped lips. As the temperatures drop, the dry winter wind strips the moisture away from your lips leaving them chapped, flaky, slit, sore and what not. But thankfully, proper winter lip care and the use of moisturizing lip products can save your lips from the wrath of cold weather.  Be sure to give them the love they need this winter. Read on to see 4 ways to care for your lips during the winter to keep them soft and hydrated.
760447 home remedies for lip care

1.Eliminate Dead Skin

Cold wind can take a toll on our lips. Gently exfoliating with a lip scrub once or twice a day can make all the difference. There are many lip scrubs available to purchase in stores and online, but if you have some extra time, you can make your own too. Applying the lip scrub in the morning before putting on makeup will have your lips ready for the day. Using a scrub at night after brushing your teeth can rid your lips of any dead skin they accumulate over time. You may apply a scrub with a clean toothbrush, which may be harsh on sensitive lips. Partner your lip scrub with Intrinsics 12-ply gauze for gentle, but effective, abrasion.

2. Don’t lick your lips

Chapped lips are common in winter, says Daniel Glass, a consultant dermatologist at the Dermatology Clinic, because of exposure to cold air outside and dry, centrally heated air inside. “Keratin, which forms the top layer of your skin, loses its flexibility and the lips become sore, cracked and scaly,” he says. “Many patients who have chapped lips are lip-lickers. Repeated licking can remove the oily surface film that protects the lips from losing moisture, leading to lips cracking. The digestive enzymes in saliva can also irritate the lips.”

3. Use a lip balm regularly

The number one rule of winter lip care is to always keep your lips hydrated. How, you ask? By applying a moisturizing lip balm on your lips regularly. Dry winter air zaps the natural moisture from your lips, leaving them dry and chapped. Treating them with the proper nourishment and a boost of hydration every once in a while is the key to keeping them healthy and happy even in the chilliest of the months.

Before going out, apply a generous amount of lip balm on your lips and top it with lipstick. That’s right! A layer of lipstick can actually protect your lips from the dry air, pollution and dirt. Also, keep your lip balm in your bag and reapply every time you feel your lips get dry and parched.

4. Heal your lips with petroleum jelly

Cracked lips, flaky skin, slits, and cold sores are some of the skin issues that come with the colder weather. It is important to treat your cracked and chapped lips the right way so it heals properly and the skin woes don’t get worse. Avoid scrubbing or brushing your lips harshly when they are peeling or cracked. It can lead to infection and even worse, lip sores.

Apply petroleum jelly like Vaseline Original Pure Skin Jelly to heal chapped lips and moisturize them. Invest in a lip balm that is infused with an ointment or natural ingredients that help heal winter lip woes.  Vaseline Aloe Soothe Lip Care is a nourishing lip balm formulated with pure aloe vera extracts that soothe and heal your lips while also providing deep moisture to your lips.

5. Drink. More. Water.

If you feel like you read this advice everywhere, it’s because it’s true. Despite the fact that it may not be a sweltering, summer day, your body still needs water. Consuming your daily dose of H20 is beneficial for skin and lip hydration, and for your overall health. Get a glass/aluminum water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the day; your lips, skin, and body will thank you.

Right Ways to Clean Makeup and Beauty Tools https://echowoven.com/right-ways-to-clean-makeup-and-beauty-tools/ Wed, 23 Jun 2021 18:42:35 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=9245  Mary Marlowe Leverette

Makeup Brushes

Unless you have extras, pick a time to clean your makeup brushes when you’re not in a rush.

  • First, wet the brush well with plain, cool water. Try to wet only the bristle part to prevent weakening the adhesive that holds the brush to the handle.
  • Place a dab of gentle shampoo or detergent in the palm of your hand and swish the brush through the shampoo, making sure it gets into the center of the brush.
  • Rinse with plain water, keeping that handle dry.
  • Gently squeeze the water out of the bristles, keeping them lying as flat as possible. Lay the brushes flat on a towel to air dry, at least overnight before using.

Hair Brushes, Combs, and Hair Accessories

Hairbrushes and combs collect lots of oily dirt, dead skin and hair products on their surfaces. If you don’t clean them regularly, all of that gunk is transferred back to your hair and can leave it looking dull and flat.

  • First, remove as much hair as possible from the brush or comb with your fingers or with tweezers.
  • Next, dampen the brush or comb with water and work in a bit of shampoo. Use your hands to work the shampoo into the bristles or teeth.
  • Fill a sink with warm water and allow the brush and comb to soak for at least fifteen minutes. Finally, use an old toothbrush to loosen and residue that might remain.

Ultrasonic Facial Brushes

Even though you use a cleanser with your ultrasonic facial brush, it still needs to be cleaned regularly, at least weekly.

  • Unscrew the brush head.
  • Use a few drops of liquid antibacterial soap on an old toothbrush to scrub between the bristles.
  • Rinse well with warm water and then clean the handle with the soap and a soft cloth.
  • Allow the brush head to air dry overnight separated from the handle.

Eyelash Curler

Mascara, eyeliner, and bacteria can all coat the surface of your eyelash curler. None of that sounds very conducive to good eye health. A curler should be cleaned at least weekly; daily if you have sensitive eyes or any type of eye infection.

  • To clean the curler, wet a cotton pad or ball with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and wipe down all the surfaces that come in contact with your eyes.
  • Keep moving to a clean part of the pad as you work. When it looks clean, make one last pass with a clean pad dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • Rinse with plain cool water because the alcohol may dry out any rubber or plastic components.
  • Allow to air dry on a clean towel.

Tweezers

They are used for lots of tasks and almost all of them involve contact with body fluids. To lessen the chance of infection, tweezers should be cleaned after every use.

  • For overall cleaning, wash the entire implement with a bit of antibacterial hand soap and warm water.
  • Then, dip the tips in rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide or rub with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
  • Allow to air dry on a clean towel.

Makeup Pencil Sharpeners

Eyeliner, eyebrow and lip liner pencils all become dull and need to be sharpened. And, each of these has been in contact with body fluids before they are put in that sharpener. To prevent cross-contamination, the sharpener should be cleaned after every use.

  • Simply dip an old toothbrush into some rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and carefully get into the edges of the sharpener.
  • Rinse well with cool water and allow to air dry.

Natural Boar Bristle, Cushion, and Wooden Handle

Skip the soaking step because it can damage parts of the brush. Instead, you may need to repeat the shampoo and a bit of water using an old toothbrush and then rinse well and allow to air dry.
Don’t forget to clean plastic and metal barrettes, headbands and clips. They can be cleaned the same way and you may need to use a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to remove hairspray residue.

For fabric headbands and bows, follow label directions, or spot clean with a gentle detergent and plain water. Allow the items to air dry and then spritz on a bit of spray starch or fabric sizing and gently reshape with your fingers.

Manicure and Pedicure Tools

There are horror stories about infections from manicure and pedicure tools because the tools come in contact with dirt, bacteria and body fluids. Proper cleaning is essential.

Dispose of single-use items like wooden sticks and cotton pads after every use. Metal implements should be washed with warm water and antibacterial soap using an old toothbrush to get into the hard to reach areas and then the edges cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or hydrogen peroxide after every use.

2. Cuticle Pusher

Plastic or synthetic materials like toe separators or nail brushes should be wiped down with rubbing alcohol. Abrasive surfaces like nail files and buffers can be cleaned by brushing with that clean nail brush.

Make sure tools are completely dry and stored properly in a clean container. Do not leave dirty tools in an airtight plastic bag or container because that can promote the growth of bacteria.

Curling and Flat Irons

Hair spray and other hair products can build-up on curling and flat irons and all of that heat simply bakes it onto the surface. You can’t just dunk these appliances in water, and scraping off the gunk can damage surfaces.

  • Unplug the appliance and make sure it is completely cool.
  • Then wet a cotton pad or ball with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and go over the sticky surfaces. Allow it to work for a few minutes. You may need to use several pads to complete the job.
  • Wipe down with a clean, damp cloth and then a soft, dry cloth.

The irons can also be cleaned by mixing a tablespoon of baking soda with one teaspoon of water. Apply the paste to the sticky areas with a soft cloth and “scrub” lightly. Wipe away the residue with a clean cloth dipped in plain water and then dry with a soft cloth.
