Beauty

I think God might have let it be the woman's nature to desire to be beautiful. Not to be vain, but so we remember to better our self. To take care of our self. So that we exercise and stay healthy, and pamper ourselves.
Of coarse this could be very bad if we let it consume us and become vain or can't stand ourselves and hate our self. We need to be balanced in this area!
Sometimes we hear that we are beautiful from people that are obligated to tell us that (like our husbands) And we know that God created us and he doesn't make mistakes ,etc. But It  is not the same as having a healthy " I know that I am beautiful" from our self when we look in the mirror.
I have not very many times felt that I am a beautiful girl. Every once in a while when I get all dressed up, and hair done just right, I will think "wow, not too bad" but more often, I look in the mirror and say, "Cheryl you need some work, like around the middle and if only you didn't have so many freckles......." So just like we need to work on our spiritual well being, our financial well being, relationship well being, and mental well being,  I think it's also important to work on our physical well being: staying healthy, by exercising and eating right, and also by taking care of your appearance like having nice hair styles, and wearing clothes that fit nicely and flatter your appearance. You will feel better about your self and have a healthy selfesteem.
Just remember to not spend all of your time on this alone!
