Setting your own personal boundaries is important so that you'll avoid becoming a doormat, keeping your self-esteem intact, and saying no without feeling guilty. After all, you are taking care of your personal needs, as each of us do, so, why feel guilty saying no to some things you can't commit to?
When you set personal boundaries for yourself, you fortify your inner shield, knowing you can stand up for yourself and most of all, you don't have to be pressured to please others (which most of the time, you don't even like).

Angelina Jolie's bulging veins in her arms, Lindsay Lohan's freckles, and Megan Fox's thumb. Yes, guys--some of the most heavenly creatures you considered beautiful are not all...perfect.
If you think about what makes us beautiful, it can be our imperfections--those same things which makes us less perfect and unique. If you look at someone with perfect symmetry, bone structure and ideal proportions, sure, they can be eye-catching and surely attractive, but it can get boring sometimes, looking at them for such a long time. Sure, they captivate attention and make people take a second look, but that's it--after a while, it's no longer interesting, gradually, it becomes predictable.

Maybe it's the aura or 'look' you project, or its' your personality. But if we go deeper beyond surface issues, trusting someone is simply more than just meets the eye. They say that you can't get anyone's trust--you have to earn it. Some find it easy to have faith in someone that easily, while others are too wary in trusting someone.
*Take note that you can't earn someone's trust overnight. The more you spend some time together (bonding), the more you build and establish rapport with one another.
*You got to treat everyone the same respect as you want to be treated.

And not just being confident--some other human emotions also. And why is that, you ask-- it's because we as human beings normally take in some of the emotions of people we're in contact with or those whom we saw. After that, we experience a change in our own mood though you know that nothing major good/bad has occurred to you, in reality.
Let's see...you may feel bad after watching a sad movie or watching tragic news. You may feel giddy in love all over again while watching a romantic movie. Why oh why do you feel these way? It's because at some point in you life, you experienced the same thing the character conveys the moment that scene rolls onscreen.

Who says that you have to have makeup on just to look and feel beautiful? Well, beauty is not just about the outer appearance of our faces and bodies, but also about our personality and how we deal with other people. Anyway, there are ways to feel beautiful even without makeup.
For one, look at that face (and body) in the mirror--but instead of zeroing on your zits, blemishes, flaws, whatever, find something you really like; admit it--there has to be at least one or two about your appearance which you truly admire or others find lovely.

Perhaps when you were a child, you need to ask permission to grown ups if you can do this and that, since you were still young and needs guidance.
But as an adult, though it's true that you need some advice or tips on some problems or decisions in your life, but that's not to say that you should let others run your life for you; you have to live your own life.
Let's see, what are the common scenarios wherein unconsciously, you have to "ask permission"? a) You're forced to follow the crowd--you're too damn afraid of being yourself b) You're waiting for others' validation that indeed, you're also good enough to audition /take classes for that singing/ acting/ programming/ art class.

You Can Still Be Beautiful Without Make Up
There are enviable women who look effortlessly good even without makeup on. But there are still the less fortunate ones who really need the wonders of makeup just to look good. But with or without makeup, it's your choice, and it's your face anyway.
I was browsing recently, and I stumbled upon a beauty website and there's a question posted on how to be beautiful without make up on. Okay, now that's a good one--aside from being economical, females these days want to be more natural. Well, maybe she means that she doesn't really want to be totally bare-faced (like going out of your house looking the same way like you just woke up in your bed).

The 3 Faces Of Low Self Esteem
Do you have a feeling that you have low self esteem? Actually, there are 3 faces of low self esteem. See for yourself if you share one of the following traits:
Let's see, are you:
1) The Phony One? From the name itself, the fake one. The Great Pretender. His successful and happy exterior is just a front, a facade to mask his true colors of his fear of failure. These phonies are the ones who are pathetic enough to live their lives in quiet dread that one day they would be "found out". They are the types which needs their self esteem to be validated; they need accomplishments and victories to further hide their feelings of insecurity and self-doubt.

Who Says That You're Not Beautiful?
How many times have we been told not to compare ourselves to others? Well, it's a total waste of time and energy to do so. Why not compare yourself to someone you really knew all along...yourself, no less! It's a world of comparisons out there, as they say, and there's simply no thrill watching others live their lives comparing to yours. If you find others prettier than you, you'll only be wrapped up in insecurity and you find ways of keeping up with them. Ditto with finding yourself more attractive than others; you'll feel conceited and vainglorious.
Well, why not celebrate yourself instead? Revel in the joys of beauty, and your not-so pretty features as well--accept and love yourself no matter what.
