Ten deadly beauty sins

draw attention to; not your accessories.

Fourth on my list is untidiness. Ugh, yuck there is nothing worse than someone who is dirty or disheveled. Gosh go have a shower and get rid of that nasty aroma that is emanating out from you. Wash your clothes, iron them, look neat and presentable. It doesn't matter how pretty you are if you are not clean.

Which sort of brings us to number five and clothes that do not fit properly. Now I know we have all been led to believe that tight is sexy but trust me, too tight and that spare tire sort of pops up and out the top of your pants, not too mention that every little blob of cellulite conveniently shines through no matter how thick the material one is wearing. Nope, definitely not an attractive sight anymore! Go the opposite direction with too loose of a choice in clothing and things get looking rather frumpy. It then gets rather difficult to discern of which sex you even belong to. Agrrrrrhhhhhhh! Don't you just hate that!

Number six in the area of real beauty killers is fragrance overload, watch the amount of perfume, deodorant or other odor enhancers that you dose upon yourself. Fragrance is a wonderful weapon for attracting members of the opposite sex, but when the gorgeous blond guy next to you collapses in an asthmatic attack, you might want to consider how strong you actually want your body language to be. Tone it down! Note: Even some fragranced hand creams and underarm deodorants can have overpowering scents.

Number seven and I hate to bring this one up but I see it happening all the time. DON'T PICK IT! DON'T SCRATCH IT! Ohhhhhhh that is so gross! No matter how much it bugs you just don't touch it in public!

Now for the eighth deadly beauty sin I have to mention shoes. The ultimate female fetish! If you can't walk in them please don't wear them! You just look silly rather than sexy. If you can carry off a 3 or 4 inch heel then do it, it is sexy, but if are teetering or wobbling in them then wear a more appropriate shoe for you. Shoes can greatly enhance your appearance so make sure that your shoes fit your stance and attire.

The ninth deadly killer of good looks is nastiness. Nasty people are down and out right ugly. Like happy shines from within a person so does nastiness radiate outwards. Cheer up, and be nice, a smile is so much prettier than a sneer.

The tenth largest beauty error is in believing that beauty can be purchased. Sure money can buy a lot of gidgets and gadgets to help things out, but it is not, and will never be a cure all for what ails you. Beauty is an illusion that develops and blooms within your own personality. Be happy! Be confident! Be beautiful!

I'm sure you have heard it said that beauty come from within a person, well believe it, because that saying is all too accurate. It is in a person's vitality and confidence, within their true life force, real beauty exists in the emotions that flow from a person. Whether the emotion that radiates out is happiness, curiosity, mischief, or sadness, the life force that shines out from deep within you is what causes people to stop and be fascinated by you. So smile, be happy, be sad, be curious or afraid, just be alive! Fascinate someone! Shine from the inside!
