man, people are so stupid.

sure. sometimes as women we tell one another, "it'd be nice to have longer eyelashes" or we wear fake ones on HALLOWEEN. and it stops there. atleast for the women i choose to associate with. but to actually take a DRUG TO MAKE THEM THICKER, LONGER AND FULLER is INSANEINTHEMEMBRANE. and the side effects? who the heck knows how messed up you can get.

this morning was i reading this article on New York Times site and i was so bummed out. As if marketing, media and 13 year old boy models don't make women feel insecure enough. now our eyelashes aren't good enough either. the saddest part is that they are anticipating HUGE ass sales. (what the???)

Latisse is sisters of Botox, both of which are super AWESOME things to do to yourself because you are too scared to face the fact that you are aging and that there is beauty in that. 

“If you think about it in terms of luxury, it’s four dollars a day,” [exec. Pyott] said. “We think this is fairly acceptable to a large segment of people even in these times.”

PYOTT = IDIOT.

even the photo above makes me sick.

since when was it bad to wear mascara....or NOTHING?? the largest pressure to be beautiful in this culture (and probably most others) is to look appealing on the outside. i mean, that is all we as a society FOCUS on. and sure, its awesome to see hot people, but how is it allright to continuously be told that you aren't beautiful enough the way you are, that you need to change your looks, your weight, your style, CONSTANTLY. and even then, there is no guarantee from "them", whoever they may be that you are acceptable. in fact, there never is. we are never good enough according to this destructive approach.  

just imagine if there was as much attention given to making our insides just as, if not more beautiful than our outward appearance?? how much better would women feel about themselves? i can honestly say that the percentage of women with eating disorders, body hate, etc. would decrease significantly. we live and die in our physical bodies. they DIE. but it is our character, our soul, our heart, our mind, our contributions to the world that really last forever. but not my wrinkle-free face, my tight bum, my nice legs or my pretty long, shiny hair. we need to help one another to constantly flip that ugly switch. tell me how you're doing this by commenting below!

this post is to all my natural beauties out there . here's to us helping one another to re-focus ourselves to the things that ACTUALLY matter. cheers.
