Beauty products are not forever,
but the way you hold yourself
is.
It's not the dress that makes you beautiful,
nor the hair,
or the makeup,
or the jewelry,
or even your bone structure,
height,
or weight.
Those won't last.
But your grace,
your elegance,
your confidence,
is what makes you truly beautiful.
If these things give you confidence,
then by all means,
use them to your advantage.
But please,
never let something you can buy
cause you to think that
they are what make you beautiful,
for your grace,
your elegance,
your confidence,
is what does.
