  • Season's Greetings

    Happy Solstice, Happy Yule, Happy Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Yalda, Happy Saturnalia, Happy Boxing Day, Happy New Year, Happy Hogmanay, Happy Festivus, Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah,
    Happy Winter!

    Since the first day of Winter is fast approaching, we at Beautyspiration decided it was time for a simple challenge.  Take (or find) a picture of something, someone, anything, anyone that makes this season beautiful  to you.  You can tell a story to go with the picture, or you can just post a picture.  The only qualifier in this challenge is that the photo, or something in the photo should be beautiful, in some way, to you.  Create a post and link it here, in a comment, so we can add it to the list of participants.

    Participants:
    Superkla

    To reiterate:  Take (or find) pictures of anything in the winter season that you find beautiful.  Create a post in your blog.  Post a comment with a link to that blog here.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    As always, send any pictures you find that you want featured here to, beautyspiration@gmail.com

  • What Makes You Beautiful?

    LostinTheLyrics created this challenge that fits with the theme of beautyspiration perfectly.  She wants to know:
    What Makes You Beautiful?

    "You can do this anyway you like- photo blog, written entry, video entry. I don't care. For a few minutes, quit concentrating on politics or the perils of life or the corruption of Xanga and concentrate on yourself and who you are as a person."

    Dear Readers, create your own post saying what is beautiful in you, and then go on over to LostinTheLyrics site to get your link posted on her blog.

  • Mission Statement

    Dictionary.com defines beauty as: "the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest)." 

    In this culture, we have lost much of what beauty should be.  When we think of beauty, we very rarely think of internal beauty or the unique.  In this culture beauty has become one thing alone, being skinny.  Maybe if we're reminded, we think of natural beauty, of the Grand Canyon, of Niagara Falls.  We consider inner personalities unique, not beautiful as they should be considered. 

    We here at Beautyspiration want to combat the current view of beauty with unique beauty, with natural beauty, with healthy beauty, with dirty beauty, with aging beauty, with illegal beauty, with all the forms of beauty that have been neglected for so long.  Humanity in and of itself is beautiful.  Perhaps we just lost this somewhere along the way.

    Once a week or so we will be posting photos or drawing  that we or our readers find beautiful.  So get those pictures coming to beautyspiration@gmail.com!

    Damaging lifestyles will not be displayed.
    We at Beautyspiration have the right to not post pictures received due to their content.
