Breast Implants Texas Cost
A Word to the Wise-from Someone Who Knows.
A Word to the Wise-from Someone Who Knows…
It’s become increasingly apparent to me: I’m a stranger in a very strange land.
Passport for my journey: two Aesthetics licenses, certification in Color Analysis– and 25 years in the film/ TV, fashion and beauty industries.
-And what a trip it’s been too!
From the salons and spas of Texas to Hollywood film and TV studios, from the offices of Beverly Hills plastic surgeons- to my travels educating for natural skin care and cosmetics companies– I’ve just about seen it all.
On film, I’ve eviscerated women, severed heads, slashed faces and created award-winning vomit… and then have turned around and worked on real, severely burned and maimed bodies in an attempt to provide reconstructive makeup procedures for very special folks in need.
I’ve experienced the dark and the light- the good and the bad- the ugly and the surreal– and I feel qualified to make the following statement:
‘There’s very little that’s beautiful about the beauty industry…’
I’m deeply entrenched in the beauty ‘business’ and at times, have really had to struggle to find much beautiful, real -or redeeming about it.
Now don’t get me wrong. There’s very little that compares to the excitement, tension and stress of being on a film set- just as nothing compares with the joy of teaching a woman how to bring out her very best; and how to lovingly and effectively care for herself.
It can be downright thrilling. –It can also be heart-wrenching and bittersweet.
Mine is the industry that teaches a woman her skin is just a shell, and that the chemicals applied to it don’t matter.
Mine is the industry that teaches a woman she can abuse herself through poor diet and bad lifestyle choices, yet find her ‘cure’ in a $150.00 jar of face cream.
Mine is the industry that tells a woman an acid peel will make her ‘young’ again- or that she isn’t beautiful unless she can successfully mimic the images spewed at her by fashion magazines.
Mine is the industry peddling Breast Implants and Botox, liposuction and eating disorders- all in the name of ‘Beauty’.
Heaven help us if we don’t fit the ‘ideal’. –Worse yet, Heaven help us if we DO: Leaking breast implants, anorexia, bulimia, rising skin cancer rates, plummeting self esteem.
Enough is enough! How much longer will we feed this craziness?
It is time for real, hardcore, honest education and it’s way past time to replace our inner panic and insecurity with self-awareness and self-respect.
It’s time we realized that Aging will happen- but only if we’re lucky.
The simple truth is: Aging is not a disease- or a deformity to be hidden at any and all costs.Beauty is present- on every level and at every stage of Life- PERIOD.We must look for it, seek it out- and acknowledge it– when and where we find it.
The only way to lasting, genuine Beauty, is to work from the inside out.
–Surely this isn’t news!
Surely we know this in our innermost hearts and minds…Why is it such a forgotten Truth?
We need to quit looking to the glossy pages of fashion magazines for our answers.
We need instead, to look inside; inside our refrigerators, our medicine cabinets, our
cosmetic bags – ourselves.
This has been the journey that I’ve had to take, both as an industry professional and also as a woman in today’s world.
It’s been a tough and scary journey- yet a deeply rewarding one as well…
much like a lone hike into the wilderness.
As I see it: It’s way past time we stand up and say “Enough is enough.”
It’s time to be at peace with ourselves.
