A Beautiful Mind and Hot Body

Beauty is a lifestyle.  At myShim­mer, we believe beauty is an inte­grated and healthy lifestyle reflected in the daily shim­mer of a beau­ti­ful woman.   Beauty is more than just apply­ing makeup and prod­ucts.  Have you ever seen a woman walk into a room who turns everyone’s head to take a look at because of her pres­ence and glow?  What is it about her?  She is phys­i­cally just aver­age look­ing but so con­fi­dent and well con­sti­tuted that she attracts peo­ple.  Her energy inspires others.

We truly believe that reduc­ing stress and being mind­ful inside with emo­tional sta­bil­ity will show in your skin and inner beauty.   A beau­ti­ful mind and spirit is just as impor­tant as beau­ti­ful skin and body.  Tell that to Meagan Fox!

We are excited to bring you a guest writer, Lily Lam, an inspir­ing life coach at YourYouness.com.  Lily became a life coach after her divorce about three years ago.   Her own life coach trans­formed her life and gave her the encour­age­ment to fol­low her voice result­ing in switch­ing jobs from the cor­po­rate world.    Lily’s def­i­n­i­tion of beauty is to be strong enough to know what you want and grow to be your best.  I had cof­fee with Lily at Peets and we dis­cussed her phi­los­o­phy on beauty.

Originally from Hong Kong, Lily moved to San Francisco when she was six.   Growing up, her mother taught her that beauty is about work­ing hard, lis­ten­ing to your par­ents and respect­ing elders.    Her mother never taught her about makeup or other beauty prod­ucts.    Her def­i­n­i­tion of Asian beauty is to be sub­tle in high­light­ing her best fea­tures with­out bright col­ors or dra­matic accents.  She also believes that her fam­ily taught her to buy the best qual­ity and brands in skin­care and products.

We are very excited to have Lily con­tribute as a guest writer and share with us her favorite beauty prod­ucts, def­i­n­i­tion of beauty and how to achieve that inte­grated beauty from within.
