The Inner Beauty & Mindset Series

I have emphasised from the beginning it is my belief that Beauty and Wellness are not one dimensional. And so, my approach to them reflects this belief. Beauty is not limited to what is merely seen on the surface. A heart and soul full of pure intention will radiate beauty far more than a face plastered in expensive makeup and products. I have spoken about the power of individuality and looking beyond just the products you put on your face. To me, Beauty and Wellness include the state of your being and the person you are. For this reason, I am introducing a Mindset series to my blog.

If you read my previous post about living your truth, you will have realised that not only do I enjoy writing about skincare, but I also have a lot to write about when it comes to mindset. What can I say? I love to express myself through writing. It has been important to me that I incorporate an inner beauty Mindset series to my blog. I strongly believe in the impact of Mindset and personal perspective. I always advocate that beauty spans beyond just the surface level. Beauty is more than the makeup you use, the clothes you wear, the weight you are on a scale. The majority of your beauty will come from the person you are within.

This Mindset series will go alongside my other content. The regular skincare and beauty pieces will still be my primary focus. I adore skincare and beauty products, being able to share advice and provide helpful information. I love writing the articles and integrating my understanding of science with skincare. When I created this blog, I knew I did not want to merely give generic advice or produce content that did not align with my beliefs. I want my content to be as thorough and informative as possible, especially when it comes to skincare and the science behind it. Although my blog encompasses a substantial amount of content based around beauty, wellness and skincare, I would be remiss to act under the pretence that beauty is merely skin deep.

Many people underestimate the power of Mindset, but it truly plays into every aspect of your life. If you are here for the skincare and beauty articles, there will still be plenty of those coming your way. I understand that not all my readers will appreciate or want to read this Mindset series. However, should you need some encouragement and happen upon these posts, they will be here waiting for you. Real life is full of hills and valleys, ups and downs. Perhaps these words may be just what you need to hear at the time.

I want my Mindset series to be as unfiltered as possible. This is the free expression of my own personal thoughts, opinions and experiences. Wherever you are in your journey, I do think that there is value to be garnered from this mindset series of posts. Inner beauty is something I would like to keep at the forefront of my content. In a world preying on people’s insecurities and capitalising on your desire to look a certain way, I want to provide my reader with something priceless. While there is a definitive price for nips and tucks, fillers and botox, makeup and skincare, no one will ever be able to put a price tag on your inner beauty.

I do not feel this is spoken about enough in the beauty space. Perhaps because it is not something one can simply purchase with the click of a button. Inner beauty and mindset are things you will have to work on continuously. These are not things someone can sell you or profit off. Which may be why people do not talk about inner beauty enough, despite being such an integral part of a person’s beauty. I feel that regularly incorporating such pieces into my Mindset series will help to reiterate the impact I so strongly believe your inner being has.

In today’s world where so much attention is given to appearance, oftentimes Mindset and inner depth can be overlooked. When you see nothing more than someone’s face on a screen you are not able to experience their character or witness them as a whole. In this artificial setting, it can be easy to forget that beauty beneath the surface is so profusely impactful.

When we encounter an attractive image, we are sold on appearances. We want her hair, his new car, their expensive wardrobe, that luxury vacation. But we never once think ‘I want their beautiful mind’. You can choose to conceal yourself behind false pretences, acts of insincerity, material possessions. But you cannot hide behind these things forever.

Remember: once you strip back the makeup, the jewellery, the designer items, the expensive cars, the social media following, the glitz and the glamour, you will be standing with your bare soul. Unadorned, unembellished, unveiled before the world. Standing, uncovered, before your creator, or whatever external force you believe in.

Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself on the outside and treat yourself with respect. But please, foster the beauty within. Work just as hard on cultivating a Mindset and outlook you can be proud of as you do on your appearance, if not more. Every day we should strive to work towards a better version of ourselves. So that once everyone leaves at the end of the day and you are alone with yourself, you can feel at peace with the person you are

As always,

Wishing you boundless love, endless light and life without limit,
