Comments

The reason that poets, scientists and bloggers like discussing beauty is because it no one can really have the last word on it. You have your commercial sleek young beauties. You have your weathered 80 year olds whose faces have a glow and a warmth of understanding. Beauty spans over countless times and places.

Although I have Stein Leventhal, a benign endocrine disorder, as do about 5-10% of women, I think my appearance reflects it as well as my personal complexities.

Beauty can have many feelings. One can be refreshed or exhausted and still be beautiful.

I think beauty is self-confidence. Not over-confidence, but enough confidence to have that inner glow, carry yourself well, etc.

Much easier said than done though!

Beauty is a special feeling , when you know that your imperfections make you part of who who are. That your "flaws" are what make you special , to feel safe and comfortable in your own skin , but never to deny yourself , your body and your soul a little pampering, getting a buzz from highlighting what you have got.

Beauty is knowing that your skin alone is fine. You don't need all those products to feel good and validate you. The products do not make you better or more valuable. Beauty is knowing you're beautiful regardless.

Beauty is short lived, being a beautiful person is timeless.

I am the most beautiful person when I wake up and my husband whispers how much he loves me, when my son tells me I am the prettiest Mum on the playground and means it!

This quote sums it up for me:

Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I am beautiful because you love me? Oscar Hammerstein.

Beauty is knowing that no matter how upset or depressed you are, there's always someone out there to cheer you up.

Posted by: Princen | September 24, 2007 6:53 PM

Beauty is.... the smile on your childs face as you play with them in the rain, then take them indoors and cuddle up with a warm towel.

Until today, I would have said something different. But thats what I did today, and the smile on his face was the most beautifulest thing I've seen.

Posted by: emmao414 | September 24, 2007 9:13 PM

Beauty is in my best friend, the way I feel when I'm around him, like I can do absolutely anything, the way we have the most fun just sitting around doing nothing, the way I can tell him anything and the way he's practically a part of my family.

Beauty is when your skin is so soft your lover can't stop touching it

Posted by: Joanna | September 25, 2007 7:08 AM

Beauty is feeling happy and content, inside and out. Lying on the grass and looking up at the sky. To love and to be loved in return.

Beauty is...seeing my daughters' smile.

Posted by: Jackie | September 25, 2007 5:57 PM

Beauty is...skin deep. so the saying goes, but beauty is more than that.
Beauty is a quality that is admired and envied.
People look up to models, people physically harm/ bully people because they are more "easy on the eye".
Beauty is what yoiu want it to be- it's boundless and a silly thing to try to quantatize.

Posted by: Wai wai | September 25, 2007 5:57 PM

Beauty is what lies at the end of the rainbow for some but is what the lucky few know is behind every smile

BEAUTY IS THE SILENCE YOU GET AS YOU WALK INTO A ROOM AND JAWS FALL!

Posted by: derya ozbas | September 25, 2007 6:17 PM

I think beauty isn't just about looks, although that does play a part in it. Everyone has their own tastes so there is at least one person in the world who will find you beautiful, which is a good thing to know.

Posted by: danielle | September 25, 2007 6:18 PM

Beauty is about accepting yourself for what you are. I'm never going to be a model but there are areas of my body i am proud of and know that they are loved my the man in my life. He wants a real woman not what the magazines tell him he should have. I feal real.

Posted by: Furkhanda Haxton | September 25, 2007 6:23 PM

A person is only beautiful, when their own beauty, is reflecting on to others. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony

Posted by: Vicki Jackson | September 25, 2007 6:24 PM

Beauty is more than skin deep

Posted by: sheryl | September 25, 2007 7:38 PM

Beauty is an individual perception of things that offer one pleasure, generate joy and initiate envy.
Very likely one would have the thought of the possession of that very object in order to keep the enjoyment.

Posted by: shearin | September 25, 2007 7:39 PM

beauty is all about us in everyone and in every thing you just have to be true to yourself to know how to appreciate and accept it and true to others around you to know that we are all beautiful in our own way.

beauty as they say is skin deep, its what youre made of and what you feel like thats important.
However, if you feel nice then you generally act a lot nicer.
every woman likes to feel a bit special and a nice soft skin does this.
