Why is Balance So Important? I always say that all of us live our lives "on a bit of a wonk". We don't sit squarely at our desk at work. We carry a bag on one shoulder, or a toddler on one hip. We cross our legs at the knees, or rest one foot when we are in a queue. We naturally favour one side over the other.

Beauty Marked
It intrigues me sometimes the things we find beauty in. However, as a licensed esthetitician and artist, with years of experience in this segment of industry, I've witnessed firsthand how people's perceptions of beauty can impact their self-esteem and create a desire to conform to societal expectations. The paradoxical nature of beauty becomes evident as individuals seek to alter their appearance while simultaneously using makeup to boost their confidence and self-perception. Having been in the makeup/beauty industry for over 20+ years, I often deal with the vein side of people, and with that comes the expectation of pleasing everyone and insecurities. So, while it is subjective, I don’t seek to judge it, only understand it.

Oneg In The ArcticPublished 9 months ago in Viva Why are women valued first for their looks and second for their abilities?
In a world where women have made significant strides towards gender equality, it is disheartening to acknowledge that they are still often valued first for their looks and second for their abilities. It raises the critical question: why does society continue to prioritize physical appearance over the talents, skills, and achievements that women bring to the table? This societal bias not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also undermines the progress towards true gender equality. By examining the underlying factors that contribute to this phenomenon, we can shed light on the complex dynamics at play and work towards dismantling the notion that a woman's worth is solely determined by her appearance. Join us as we explore the multifaceted reasons behind this issue and strive for a future where women are valued and celebrated for their abilities above all else.
