On beauty...




My god mother was an actress and a very, very beautiful woman.  When I was a teenager, very overweight and unhappy about my looks, we had a conversation.  She told me that for her, her beauty was a curse, because she never could tell if people really thought that she was a good actress or if they were taken by her beauty.  And all she wanted to do in life was to be a very good actress.

Over the years my relationship, to beauty has changed.  Here are some of my favorite quotes from Susan West Kurz's book “Awakening Beauty”, the Dr. Hauschka Way.


“....beauty is a luminous and joyful state of self- love that lives inside all of us.  This inner beauty has the power to affect our outer beauty by improving the health of our skin, transforming the shape and movement of our bodies, and giving off a radiance that inspires those around us.”

“What is this mysterious pull that beauty has on us?  Why do beautiful people attract us, - or, to put it another way, why do you become such a powerful magnet for people and opportunities when you are beautiful?  The reason beauty draws us near is because it arises from love, which is itself the most nourishing and desired force in life.  Beauty is the consequence of love, and therefore announces the presence of love, which we are ultimately drawn to.”

“When we love ourselves, a mysterious array of chemicals and emotions align, making us physically and emotionally balanced, even radiant.”

My services as an esthetician at Destination Salon and Spa are tools to support your radiance.

May beauty infuse you and your day!
