Beauty

The anti-aging ad that I'd like to see is a baby covered in cream saying,
" Ah! I've used too much!"
- Reader's Digest (Nov 2009)

I chuckled at this ticklish joke. Just to share, my 11 years old girl is not exceptional, she is influenced with the beauty of Diana Rafar who casts as "Nenek Kebaya" in the series.

Yesterday, she spent plucking and collecting fresh fragrance flowers from my garden to bathe.

Basically, beauty is not separable from female worlds back to ancient times like Cleopatra who had strict beauty regime to stick too in order to sustain her youths.

Even our traditional ancestors used 'susuk' to preserve their looks. In modern days, we have more like 'botox', slimming products and plastic surgery.

Earlier I have written two topics, "The Fair Treatment" and "Expiry Date" which touched on the same issues.

In fact today, there is another case reported on the cosmetic surgery treatment left the women with permanent scar on her right arm.

My conclusion is whatever we do to preserve our youthfulness, there is always price to it besides the monetary portion.

The Fair Treatment

In this modern era, every thing seems myriad away previously is no longer a big deal. It all started with Micheal Jackson who has transformed himself from black to white.

It was reported in yesterday paper (sorry as I can't update my blog yesterday as the link was disconnected due to unforeseen heavy rain and thunderstorms) that an aspiring actress and model went for the glow and pigmentation treatment but ended up with a disfigured face.

The 'fair treatment' had taken its toll and twist the fate of the beauty. She claimed that her face now was peeling, wrinkled and covered in ugly dark spots, forcing her to move around with her face covered.

I think people are easily influenced with the beauty advertisements which claim wonders without realizing on the dangers. Even, if the unlucky lady managed to transform perfectly without complications, she still has to bear the effect of the treatment.

I believe that an exposure to sun is definitely a no-no and what a waste if we could not enjoy the gift of natures from Almighty just to enjoy the 'look' that we desire.

Beauty will not last forever as it will fade away as we get older. The inner beauty is more valuable as it will radiant and glow even if you are aging...
