Discovering Your Authentic Beauty

Since starting Girlz Club Beauty Newz Ezine and this blog, the idea of beauty has been working in my mind.  Sure the outward beauty stuff is fun but there is so much more to beauty than what is seen.

Question:  What makes a beautiful woman? ...

Is it what we see on the outside only - a pretty face, a pretty body, the hair, the nails, etc?  How about a healthy body?  I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.  What about the inside?  We've all heard the saying, "beauty is only skin deep".

I think that we would all agree that character has more to do with beauty that any outward appearances.  I have to wonder ...

That which makes a woman authentically beautiful, how much of "that" is trapped within her?

I know, I can hear you asking ... what is "that"?  I'm asking the very same thing.

I'm thinking that it is the essence of who she is.  It's what makes you, you - mind, body, spirit.  I love the following quote written by Pamela Peeke author of "Body for Life for Women":

"When a woman's mind, body, and spirit unite, miracles happen.  Her transformation is a gift that keeps on giving."

Does anything stir inside you when you read that?  It does me.  I don't know about you, but I want to be that walking miracle.  I want to be that balanced woman who reeks with authentic femininity and beauty the way God intended for ME, not the girl next door or at church, the fashion model, nor the movie star.  I want to be the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm on a journey to discover who that is for me.  I am working to pull out the parts of me that are trapped and hidden.  The parts that God intended for me to use but have always been too afraid to live by, or has been stomped down by life, or that just hasn't been developed yet.

Would you like to join me in this journey?  Does this ring a bell for you?  Stay connected to my blog.  Sign up to receive the Girlz Club Beauty Newz E-zine.  There is so much more ahead.

I am beginning to sense that I am to move towards "authentic beauty coaching for the whole woman"  to help others with this process just as I have been helped.  Paying it forward.  It is my experience that a coach is priceless in one's journey.  I am here to meet you where you are whether body, mind, or spirit.

If something is tugging at your heart and you need more information now, by all means, email me at shileennixon@mac.com and we'll get started.

What are your thoughts about "authentic beauty for the whole woman"?  What does it mean?  What's missing in your own life?  What holds you back?

Would you like to be the gift that keeps on giving?  Let me know!!

What does my 1st giveaway & a facelift have in common? Read on!

For a chance to win a FREE copy of The Yoga Face - Eliminate Wrinkles with the Ultimate Natural Facelift be sure to read to the end.

Whether you want to lessen the appearance of current wrinkles and/or avoid wrinkles this book is for you.  The Yoga Face was recommended to me by a mentor friend who I deeply trust. I couldn't wait to get it and when I did I went to work right away. The face exercises are simple, quick, and fun.  But what I like is that Annalise is very comprehensive in that she includes the whole body.  Yes, you can just do the facial exercises and be done.  But if you want more you'll want to use the entire program.  It includes:

* Facial movements 

* Full-body routines & poses

* Massage, breathing, & meditation techniques 

* Tips on nutrition & natural beauty products

I'm excited to provide You Tube videos with Annelise demonstrating some of the facial movements.  You get to see first hand how easy these moves are.  I know you will try them right along with her as it's hard not to. 

After viewing the videos you can click the Amazon link in the sidebar for more information about this fabulous book, The Yoga Face.  It's a must have for your library.

(Below the videos is information on the Give Away.)
