Beauty

The dictionary defines beauty as, “The quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).

Needless to say BEAUTY is so very subjective! The great thing about the subjectivity of beauty is that it opens the door to talk about inner, spiritual, and even family beauty. Mary Kay herself set the model for my Mary Kay business by putting God first, family second, and the business third. The other great thing about beauty’s subjectivity is that it makes for some really funny interactions!  The things that give me “intense pleasure & deep satisfaction” aren’t what do it for others. For instance, Mom and Tee almost always disagree with me about shoes! It’s a bit of a joke between us that if we all three like a shoe it must be simply amazing and that if we all hate a shoe it must truly be hideous!

In writing this blog; I want to open the discussion about what beauty is. What brings each of us “intense” pleasure? Why do we color and design our faces and styles? Who are we doing this for? Why does one color bring more satisfaction to you than another? Why does one dress make your face screw up and another make you literally sigh or squeal in delight? What is that giddy feeling that I get when I see a great pair of shoes? Please join the conversation; I want to hear all the wonderful things in the world that make you happy just from a color or a shape or a design!
