                       Beauty - Tales

 

What is beauty, what comes in our mind when we talk about Beauty?  #Beautiful #Nofilter #Wokeuplikethis  #perfectbodygoals - is this for real, what exactly we mean by saying this?  Why the world is getting so obsessed behind the perfect body, perfect face end up buying tons of products, experimenting with unhealthy diets and starving to death - hell lots of surgeries eventually sacrificing their mental health to find the perfect body; is this what beauty is all about?  Here we go - There was a time when the world still existed without sunscreen, Day Cream, Night Cream, Anti-aging, Vitamin Boosting, Shine Hydrating, and whatnot. The study says Our body is meant to protect and heal our skin naturally we don’t need all of this. Well, I can understand the fact that dealing with pollution and unhealthy lifestyle we must need some of those but what is the use of this artificial beauty when we can run on basics by keeping it simple and not too fussy or complicated, "Use what is needed". Nowadays we humans are making it worst by adding "Extra" inside the body; Botox, Facelift, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Rhinoplasty these are common names, there's more to this. Let’s keep it more natural and simple, embrace those scars - aging lines, pimples, bumps, cellulitis, marks rather hiding them.         

These so-called beauty saviors do we know how long these are effective on our skin and will sustain “Not really” it’s a never-ending journey, we keep experimenting for better ones and end up making these beauty giants millionaire overnight in the name of Beauty Trap. I remember my mother would never have been through this phase ever. She was always happy for what she has and what she is and I believe most of us can relate this. No one was competing against each other at that point in time, they were much better than us. They knew what actual beauty is all about and the best part there was no set of standards for beauty to maintain and hoard for reaching some point, the reason people use to accept each other being themselves. These days there are multiple products to enhance your beauty, approaching with the flawless aim and fairer skin trick, promising to make ten times lighter than your actual skin shade, but no one praise, suggests, or talks about healthy skin. Why we need a fairer skin tone? Beauty cannot be defined based on the color of your skin, be it the darkest Brown to the lightest hues; flaunt and adore what you are born with this makes you inclusive and more realistic believe me.

 Nowadays Beauty is all about looking perfect, played out with tons of cosmetic products, perfectly toned plastic body with end number of surgeries, going under the knife’s is like a cakewalk here, every time the set standards of beauty kept changing. All just want to look perfect and look like one as per the trend.  Beauty is not being attractive, impressive, not conventionally, and not celebratory but also being beautiful all through. There is nothing rarer, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically being herself.

Do you know the set standard of beauty kept changing with the time “Yes” it does? As per the study the perfect Female and Male body has greatly changed over the years looking different from one generation to another remember:-

·         The Venus of Willendorf – Historic curvaceous babe like beyond curvy in fact on the little heavy side, she doesn’t look like models of today.

·         Gracian Lady – Chubby Large Size body with not so flat stomach defining beauty.

·         French Revolution with more value to woman’s looks and Sexiness.

·         The tiny cinched corsets of the Victorian Era.  

·         1920’s more of boyish figure stick-thin flappers.

·         And to the ’80s around the Supermodel era; all the way to today’s obsession with the Big Booties and the Tiny Waists of Instagram.

 

Women's beauty standards kept changing through the ages and we keep trying to fit ourselves into some ever-changing mold. Change for What? Just to fit in the right kind of body to be in trend and it goes out of fashion until 10 yrs. We need to stop celebrating normal Ideal body type and accept the uniqueness of different physiques and be truly inclusive.  Stop categorizing and subconsciously judging rather than focusing on a healthy body with all colors, shapes, and sizes.

 Whole society is concerned behind your body weight. Whoever you meet nowadays will question you on your body weight rather than well being; Oh....you have gained good weight now; you need to work on yourself, Dear you have put on a lot after your marriage, Oh my....you add on too much after your baby. I mean ignoring the biological facts big-time that the female body keeps changing with the time due to the course of hormonal changes, childbearing span, postpartum, and many medical reasons behind the gain; they will keep coming up with the conclusion that you should look in one size throughout the lifetime. I mean this is unrealistic and society isn’t that functionally illiterate to understand this common sensible fact.

No one wants to talk about postpartum depression, hardly any men know about this they have no idea what their lady is dealing with, no one ever talks about this. Baby Blues, Insomnia, Loss of Appetite, exhaustless, difficulty in bonding with the baby, hopelessness, Scars on your body, and dealing with post-baby weight.  Not only moms that are battling but fathers also see changes physically and mentally when a new addition arrives in the family.  Our elders and relatives will never come upfront or give any extra piece of advice on how to deal with this situation during these times, and lead to stress-free days, all they have to converse about is how to change a nappy, color of the poop and focus on losing weight getting rid of those marks, belly and coming back to shape asap, make you feel conscious about your body with multiple comparisons between time and era; there is no polite way to say this here we lose the track.

Have seen the fattest person being the most active and healthier than the skinny who is the weakest and unhealthy one, so you cannot define anyone by their weight and outer appearance. It is all about being healthy and perfectly fit from inside and we fail to accept this fact. No, I am not supporting lazy couch potatoes here, you need to be healthy and be active in life. If you have any issues coming up with your body due to gaining too much of weight you must work on that, But most importantly you should feel like one, not because someone else finds you chubby or wants to see you being as skinny as possible, don’t let other define your body. I mean a perfect home-cooked favorite meal, little workout and progressively becoming active can do wonders for you. Every -Body is different, yes I repeat Every- Body is different get this fact clear.

 When I think of the most beautiful women, no they are not supermodels rather people I live with, people around me Here we go pure definition of Beauty; Well I am personally fond of these ladies.

  

You are beautiful because of the spark you carry inside and hold yourself that way. You are Beautiful because you choose to say you are.
