Resolving to Be Naturally Beautiful

Feeding My Beauty.
I’ve gone back to full vegetarianism and with PETA action alerts arriving in my e-mail inbox, I’m pulled toward veganism every day. This weekend, I’ll meet with a group of friends as we plan a twenty-one-day detox cleanse, with the goal to reduce our intake of dairy, caffeine, and sugar. I’ve learned that a hundred dollar beauty potion doesn’t do the trick; it doesn’t even get rid of the bags under my eyes. If I’m not eating well and healthily, or getting enough sleep and exercise, then it’s all money down the drain.

It doesn’t have to be a transformation in lifestyle, just a slight shift in a few key routines. In doing so, I’m looking forward to a prosperous—and beautiful—year, filled with chemical-free clarity, a cruelty-free conscience, and a happier me at the end of the day.
