BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Beauty Basics Beauty....how much is it worth?

If you can put a value on beauty, how much would it worth?

Lately I have been bombarded by those "beauty gifts" and it is the time when all the exercise machines come out.

Health food ads, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, skincare, bath and body products, etc....etc...... I am so unbelievably tempted.

AAAUGH!!! SAVE ME!!!!!

This is a very hypothetical question.

It's worth this much....

Maybe a bit more, possibly a lot less.

Are you spamming the forum with unrelated posts?

Let me first say I think the idea of beauty if overrated. Personally, I think being clean and neat is the most important thing besides being a nice person overall. That said, I think society stresses the importance of being beautiful or handsome and so many buy into it. I'm not talking about those of you who told about being this cream or this jelly or whatever. I'm talking about those folks who go through plastic surgery to improve themselves and will only buy a certain brand of clothes and make up and so on. Yet, society judges us on our looks. If you are overweight, many think you are dumb and lazy. If you are blonde, you are a ditz. If you have blemishes on your skin, you are ugly. We love to categorize people and looks is an easy one. Just like some think all old people are stupid.

Thinking back on it, some of my very favorite people would not have been considered "beautiful" by most of society. But their beauty shone from within.

I have a friend whos a m0del she said:
The price of the beauty per month can never be more than what you earn per month.
This formula goes for models too.

Your friend looks at her beauty as a commercial item.

I think beauty is worth whatever you personally think it is. Some people feel that beauty is not important while others feel the opposite. Personally, if I feel like I'm looking good one day, of course, I'm going to feel better in general.

For a mother , her child is the most beautiful in the world. what would be the worth? I think that this is a needless discussion.

I appreciate your responses, really. You're right beauty shouldn't be taken as a commercial item. The concept of being beautiful is overrated and the personal care companies are enjoying that.

We are beautiful no matter what they say.
