paris fashion: How to Make Your Beauty Sparkle and more...

Beauty Is Within Header

Sometimes we'll see a beautiful woman and ask ourselves, "What is it about that woman that makes her beautiful?" She has that special something that people are attracted to. Maybe it's her smile, the way she looks at people, or that aura of confidence. Whatever it is, it makes her sparkle.

How do you sparkle? What can you do to express your own authentic beauty? Here are a few tips:

Have love for yourself. This has nothing to do with being conceited or narcissistic. This is about realizing that you are indeed a unique, beautiful person.

Don't worry, be happy. Happy people are beautiful people. When you worry, it causes stress, which makes you look older than you really are. Worrying never helps any situation, so just take a deep breath and enjoy the present moment.

Do good and look good. People who are loving, compassionate, caring and giving radiate beauty. This is what makes women like Angelina Jolie and Oprah more beautiful. Their inner beauty shines because of these characteristics.

Besides the intrinsic things that make you sparkle, there are things that you can do to enhance the outer beauty. I've found that pretty, shiny accessories like sparkly earrings can make your face sparkle even more. I am loving these tanzanite earrings from TJC...

Do you have any other tips to make your beauty sparkle?

Kim Kardashian's Engagment Ring: Over-the-Top?

Ok, I have a secret to confess...I love to watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". There - it's now out in the open. I admire how the family has built an empire from everybody's obsession with them - especially Kim Kardashian.

As you may (or may not) know, Kim just got married to NBA basketball player, Kris Humphries. I've seen and heard bits and pieces about the wedding, but I only just came across a picture of her engagement ring today. I don't think any of the pictures online do it justice. I can just imagine what that rock looks like in person!

For whatever reason, it still blows my mind that something so little can cost so much. I've mentioned before that I'm not big into diamonds, but after seeing Kim K's ring, I may have changed my mind. I even started browsing engagement rings although I already have one. Don't get me wrong - I am appreciative of what I already have, but if I did get something bigger, I'm certainly not going to turn it down! When it comes to diamonds I'm well aware that size does not matter. It's all about the love. But, hey, a girl has a right to dream a little bigger, right?

There are bloggers out there who are criticizing Kim for the size of the engagement ring - that it's too big, too much, and just over-the-top. This is the way I see it: Diamonds were made to enjoy and appreciate regardless of size or cost. Kim shouldn't deprive herself of something so beautiful because other people think it's wrong.

What do you think?
