It intrigues me how we are caught in this beauty trap. It’s mind blowing how much money women spend on beauty products. We could be spending our money, time and energy in more meaningful and uplifting ways. Plus the ideals we are chasing are utterly unattainable.

We are conditioned to believe beauty looks a certain way. Like a magazine cover. Or a runway model. These images of women have us believing we are supposed to look super skinny around the waist, curvy at the top and bottom, have long legs and flawless skin. The standard is impossible to meet.

I am not judging you if you want to pursue beauty, but rather I am asking you to reflect on the image of beauty we are being sold.

There is no one version of a woman. We are all a unique expression of divine creation.

We fall in love with people not because of their outer beauty or the size of their waist, or the shape of their nose. We fall in love with something much deeper than the surface; the physical.

We waste so much time...
