Inner Beauty

I want to be like you but you are just like me Maybe I’ll stay an unchanged woman But would I be happy as I am? You see, every time I jump on the scales, I wish they were broken so I wouldn’t have to know my weight. Every time I look in the mirror…

No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted

What do you look like when you get up? After putting on make up and doing your hair, do you still feel like you need something else? A little touch up with photoshop perhaps? No digs at Helen Clark intended here. We all know what it like to wake up looking like something the cat…
