BALL & CHAIN
Many people have said that beauty starts from within.
Forget Lorenzo Lamas' advice, "It is better to look good, than to feel good."
That's only true of girdles. If you have ever been in a TOXIC friendship, it could take it's toll on your beauty. Yes! You really need to keep positive people in your life who will not draw the very life giving marrow from your bones.
BLOOD SUCKING LEECHES
If you don't "feel good" on the inside, it won't be long before you are not looking so great on the outside.
You NEED PEACE & TRANQUILITY in order to radiate beauty from the inside out!
I recently had to extricate myself from such a toxic acquaintance.
I must say that having done so, I feel 100% better.
