A couple of grey strands and Angelina Jolie


As we age; our body tends to bring out our imperfections such as grey hair, double chin, wrinkles.


Many take it with a pinch a salt and carry on with their normal chores thinking that change is beautiful.

While some like to freeze their past by trying to bring some changes to their imperfections by either dying their hair, or getting a botox.

Lately, Angelina Jolie was in the spot light for showcasing her grey hair.
She was bold enough to declare her double mastectomy, a couple of grey strands would not make her run to a salon; to get them dyed.

She is a woman of character and her recent announcements has made many women admire her for her public standing. To be able to stand out in public with a couple of grey hair has made her even more phenomenal.

Aging is never perfect, and if a public icon accepts it with grace. It can speak volumes about that person, and tell the public that change is good, embrace it.

Question: Would you embrace your imperfections and continue with your life?

Mantra for today: Beauty is skin deep.  Accept the changes, and embrace them with confidence.

Ummmm sorry I hide my grey hair. I although I do admire those who grey gracefully. I am just not one of them.

I did chuckle at your comment, though. About if a double mastectomy didn't make Angelina run to the woods and hide neither would a few grey hairs.

I think it's one of the keys to happiness: accepting yourself as you are. Now, that doesn't mean I won't try natural creams and exercise to "stay young." :)

Well, thanks to a lot of authors for sharing this kind of amazing blog with us about botox. Most of the time it is very natural that we see botox injections near me I mean botox treatment is very natural and there will be no side effects for this kind of treatment also you'll get the result just like plastic surgery.
