The Business of Looking Good


We all love those poster girls with their glowing skin, accessories and fancy clothes. They all seem to look fabulous. What about those actresses and those public figures? I know right? They always appear as if they showered with pixie dust. Hey,What about those newscasters? Aahhh! don't even go there,totally hot right? They all look gorgeous so we start to get bothered, and we start thinking, "I want my dresses to fit so I need to burn belly fat... And oh, my make up kit... my skin... Aaargh!!! now what lotion,cream or oil or pomade is being advertised that'll keep my skin radiant and beautiful?, oh yeah... my shoes too. I need to look elegant on those heels"... and the list of worries starts to pile up.
However,  because of course we are all in this business of looking good, while we worry about the cover, we all tend to miss the core which is the internal body nourishment- our bodies,we worry about that magic portion that will make our skin glow but neglect how to nourish it from the inside. Ironically, We spend on all those slimming teas and still keep gorging on junk. We're so preoccupied with looking 'good' that we sometimes forget to look healthy.

I, Asake Balogun want to look like Selena Gomez (abi even Genevieve nnaji) but I forget that our genetic makeup is different so I start to diet hard,starve myself ,drink slimming tea,My Body mass index drops and my menstrual cycle starts to fluctuate but hey! its the business of looking good.We worry about keeping our nails attractive but not healthy,yes we splurge nail polish on and forget about actually caring for those nails. We are bothered about our skin so often we go to the mall to check out that new body cream our friend mentioned, yet refuse to hydrate that skin or even think about if that product would work for our skin type. So I say we start working towards looking good,feeling good and being good. We'll talk about our body what to do and not do and what body parts to pay attention to in other to actually look good. We want to profit from this business of looking good..so next time we'll start with that key body part; our beautiful face.
