I have never really needed makeup...i feel natural beauty is at times more rare..it speaks for itself..my skin flushes pink on its own, as do my lips...and one day i truly noticed the unique dove shape to my eyes....i look pretty from dark espresso blonde to very light...my face tends to puff up when i am really happy and excited or sensual in life...especially lips and eyes :).what's funny Kaori, also has these special pretty dove eyes also..:) I really enjoy being very natural overall, as the sensitivities and sensations of how my skin comes alive in natural rose essential oil, or other, or natural fibers, or sensual healing spa treatments,..or laying in a sweltering fragrant jungle and feeling my senses calm and excite simultaneously...isn't life most delightful in this emotional, sensory, and mental abandon, and also flourishing...:) These moments for me excite me more so than most of anything else in life...i really enjoy occupying my mind and senses with creativity, learning, sensuality...organic cooking, play...within . this environment i am tranquil, excited, alive...:) I feel it is really involving and connecting to simple but nurturing activities in the right environments that nourish. Many people of all kinds , from Europeans, American, African, Asian, (in no particular order) etc... lives weeks and months in Seychelles for instance, and still study, evolve, manage companies , etc :) Once upon a time,,learning was more like this for some, still a voyage, travels, living abroad, but still connected to culture, literature, languages, films, art, etc...:) We only truly have one lifetime, for as far as we know it, and I think better to make it a very lovely, emotionally and mentally fulfilling one ..:)
