I like my beauty products. I enjoy putting them on...what I'm saying to the outside world, is that I value myself enough to spend some time and money on these things.

It's easy once you get married and have kids, to not spend time on yourself any more. This happens to a lot of women...in any society in the world, women are valued less than men. They're paid less than men, and money is a measure of what your society thinks you're worth.

So, whenever I see women take the time and money to make themselves pretty, I see it as a positive thing.

Now, spending all your money on every product and procedure that comes down the pike...a fool and her money will soon be parted!

Do you belive that in every society, women are valued less than men?

Yep...the obvious answer is that women have less money than men, in any society you care to name. They earn less and they own less.

Money is a measure of value. In the U.S., for example, a woman does not get paid for doing "women's work"...taking care of kids, cleaning, cooking, laundry, bookkeeping, any number of computer tasks, etc.

Before you go "ha ha, that's not work," I can say it is work. It is an economic good...you'd have to pay anyone else to do it. It's full time work. A man would never dream of working all day and not getting paid. But a woman works full time, sometimes the equivalent of two full time jobs, for room and board.

I've given it a lot of thought because I "used to work"...the kind of work with a paycheck. Then I had my kids and found out just how much work that is. And people started to say I "wasn't working." And I came to realize how women remain the lesser-paid of the two genders...it's all through not paying them for the work that they do.

A man at his job...no one would tell him to work all day for the love of humanity. He considers his time much more valuable than that. I don't know how to put it...I'm a programmer, I got the same degree that men get here. I competed with men in school and I tutored them too. Now it's like, what I'm doing now is much more important than any paid job. And because it's "women's work," there is no pay and no recognition.

What can I say, it's a mistake to suffer in silence? Nothing ever changes if you do it that way.

Me the reason why my beauty routines are important and that I always do it even when tired or sick is not because of my appearance it is because of my health. For me being clean and moisturized is healthy not beautiful.

Beauty is from within. Physical beauty is not that important as what's inside you.
