Beauty enhancement tools that society thinks we need are not solutions, they're beauty bandaids.

No matter how much sleep you get, supplements you take and meditation you do, if your heart isn’t in the right place, you aren’t going to feel vibrant and alive.

How can you be an active participate in your life? How do we find freedom from traditional jobs, relationships and viewpoints? And why do we feel the need to conform to normal routines? Ideas of who you are supposed to be shouldn't keep you from who you're becoming. I'm talking all about anti-American ideals, French cooking and learning how to cultivate relationships with others, God and myself.
