True Beauty :: Inner Beauty

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."
— Audrey Hepburn

Although this blog is mainly focused on physical beauty, I strongly believe that the only kind of beauty that matters is true beauty, or inner beauty.

For Muslims all around the world this is a special time, it's the first 10 days of the month Dhul Hijja in which the Hajj is performed. The Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia during this month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar. It is 1 of the 5 Pillars of Faith in Islam. It is recommended to fast if one can but if not, as always, we can give in charity! Check out what my favorite Charity is...

My Favorite Charity

Susan G. Komen 3 Day For The Cure Race is amazing and the money is donated to Breast Cancer Research!

Check out their website at Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the whole concept of this charity. It's for an incredible cause and it brings people from all over together. They all have this common enemy (Breast Cancer) and they are empowered by coming together to defeat it! This walk takes place every year in several different cities all across the United States. Dozens of patients, survivors and families affected by Breast Cancer rally together by walking to raise money and awareness! According to Network of Strenth "2.4 million women living in the U.S. have been diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer." Donate or sign up to walk today!

I believe true beauty and true happiness come from helping others! If you don't have money to donate then at least help out by feeding the homeless or helping out in some way in your community! Muslim or not, it's always the right time to help out!
